A scalable solution with Veeam and Vertias alliance
I am impressed with the tool's technical alliance with Veeam and Veritas.  The product needs to improve performance while scaling out. It also needs to improve stability.  I have been using the product since seven years.  I would rate the product's stability a nine out of ten. I would rate the…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is affordable."
"The chat functionality with Nakivo Support in the web interface is very unique and we love it."
"This solution was surprisingly easy to configure."
"It was also very easy to configure backups to be sent offsite to a separate repository for disaster recovery needs."
"The solution offers reliable copying and fast recovery."
"The upgrade process is manual but very simple to do."
"Every new version has got some tweaks and improvements in stability and speed."
"The most important feature besides the easy management of the different backup jobs is the automated e-mail notification functionality."
"I am impressed with the tool's technical alliance with Veeam and Veritas."
"While the challenges posed by the difficulties were significant, they prompted the replacement of problematic components, resulting in the resolution of issues. Importantly, there were no substantial ongoing concerns. Regarding the overall performance, it has been consistently excellent."
 

Cons

"In the loading of a backup, choosing what to restore seems to be a lengthy process, but it has always worked in my restore tests."
"Compression and data deduplication are okay, but they could be improved."
"What must be improved is the response time to technical support requests."
"While the solution provides mostly what we need, it would be ideal if there were some additional feature capabilities for the API."
"In terms of what could be improved for the next release, I would probably answer better documentation and licensing models."
"We want the backup job to consume fewer resources, as the utilization is very high if we choose the best compression."
"The product needs to improve backup speed and replication speed."
"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."
"Perhaps the most notable area for enhancement lies in the web interface for management. The current limitations in LDAP editing capabilities are not addressed in the UI, and I haven't observed any recent updates. It's possible that the new version of the DXI service incorporates improvements in the GUI, but I cannot confirm. While there is room for improvement in the current GUI, it remains a relatively minor issue. Overall, the system is comprehensive, covering aspects such as reports on latency and networking, leaving little room for additional enhancements in those areas."
"The product needs to improve performance while scaling out. It also needs to improve stability."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We use a perpetual license that is priced well."
"The prices are high."
"Nakivo has a good price-performance ratio."
"This product provides good value for the price."
"Nakivo Backup & Replication also have another great value, which is that it is one of the lowest prices on the market."
"It has a much higher bang for the buck than other products we evaluated."
"Talk to the sales department about all of the possibilities, as they will help you to find the best solution for your setup."
"From the perspective of Indian users, the cost is a little bit high."
"I do not oversee this aspect, as pricing is contingent on factors such as volume, technical specifications, and the desired features. Consequently, I lack information on the pricing details and structure."
