Trustworthy and provides good availability
Our administrator found the solution easy to use, but once that administrator left, it felt very overwhelming to the individual who took it over. It could be more of a knowledge transfer situation that didn't happen, but we didn't know if it was easy to use. Precisely Assure QuickEDD is deployed on the cloud in our organization. The implementation of QLED helped us with our recovery time objective and was a seamless transition. In order to utilize the product to its fullest potential, users should be knowledgeable of what it offers. They should also form a relationship with the person who is their representative. Overall, I rate the solution an eight or nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"This product has a very clean and intuitive GUI."
"Most valuable for DimenXional Cloud is the API provided by Nakivo which allows us to implement the software in all types of solutions."
"This solution was surprisingly easy to configure."
"It is flexible."
"Technical support responds very quickly."
"Nakivo Backup and Replication's web-based management interface enables intuitive, rapid, and seamless configuration and management of all backup and recovery functionality across the enterprise."
"The most important feature besides the easy management of the different backup jobs is the automated e-mail notification functionality."
"Nakivo makes our backs-ups more reliable and easy to recover in case of full damage or partial retrieval of files - all at a convenient cost."
"The most valuable feature of Precisely Assure QuickEDD is the backup system."
"Synchronous applications are valuable."
 

Cons

"It would be a good thing to have some use case and architecture examples online to understand integration in complex infrastructure."
"It is missing the file and folder backup; however, this product is meant for virtual machine backup and recovery, so that is really outside of the scope of the software."
"The way encryption is currently working could be improved. Currently, it's not possible to encrypt the backup to an NFS share directly. It needs to have the encryption within the Transporter/VM to enable encryption, which isn't optimal. So I'm hoping that in the near future this function will be implemented."
"They need a better knowledge base with more information about support issues."
"In the future, the solution should provide a more granular backup."
"The backup speed needs improvement."
"One of the things I liked least about this software is when an update was pushed to one of the servers we had, somehow we didn't receive the update and needed some quick troubleshooting."
"Sometimes, for some VMs and some Windows Server versions, specifically old versions (aka server 12 or older) fail due to the VSS writer error or locking file system."
"Our administrator found the solution easy to use, but once that administrator left, it felt very overwhelming to the individual who took it over."
"There should be more interactive dashboards."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I advise that this is the best product for medium or small environments according to my cost-benefit analysis."
"The licensing model is very affordable compared to competitors, with a good quality-to-cost ratio, and the software is quite simple and fast to setup."
"This product is cheaper than other big rivals."
"I think the price is competitive. However, for some projects, it can be a bit much for price-sensitive small businesses."
"You have a lot of different options when it comes to pricing and the pricing models are pretty flexible and affordable."
"It has a much higher bang for the buck than other products we evaluated."
"Nakivo has a good price-performance ratio."
"We use a perpetual license that is priced well."
"It is expensive. The cost varies based on your requirements. If you want to manage it, there is an extra cost."
