Our clients tell us they appreciate the user-friendly interface and the space savings they realize from compression

Some of Nakivo's backup features need improvement. For example, I would like some more options for job scheduling. We can only schedule incremental and full backup, but there are no differential backup features in the same job. I can only schedule one incremental and one full backup in a week. I schedule three jobs for each repository, which is the simplest way to plan your jobs. It's possible to consolidate three jobs into one, but when you want to explain the backup registration schema to someone, they can't understand what they don't see. When you schedule some jobs, you should be able to see a list of the jobs contained within each. You have to open up the editor to see what is inside. You must click through and edit stuff. Each time, it asks you to save or discard changes. It's very annoying. You only see the name of the scheduled job, and you need to edit it to see what's it's inside.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"NAKIVO Backup & Replication is very easy to use."

"All in all, NAKIVO helped us save a lot of time."

"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."

"We have been able to set up a failover site that has replicas of our critical VMs."

"The product is good for protecting very low-budget offices, whereas other solutions fail in terms of cost and footprint of the VMs involved."

"The main advantage from our perspective is the ability to plug this solution into an existing infrastructure on a cheap device and point the backup at the server targets and configure the backup options in a simple menu; linking to a cheap cloud resource for a simple solution for off-site storage."

"We have found all the features of Nakivo to be useful and the solution is easier to use compared to Proxmox. It is user-friendly, we are very satisfied."

"The backup and replication are great."

More NAKIVO Backup & Replication pros

"The solution is very user-friendly and has an easy to use interface. We can manage it easily. It allows for a simple backup."

"The user interface is good."

"I like the incremental backups and their failover."

"The flexibility and user-friendliness of Veeam make it very IT operations-friendly."

"The solution is very simple. Management of the platform is so simple that we don't need to have any training to deploy this solution."

"What I find most valuable about this solution, is that the user experience is very simple."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is its integration with Veeam Backup & Replication console."

"The most valuable feature is the instant restore option."

Cons

"I would like to see some additional models in the next release to make backups more functional."

"It'll help if they offered some automation and more usability for partners."

"We want the backup job to consume fewer resources, as the utilization is very high if we choose the best compression."

"We would like to back up File Shares to Amazon S3/Wasabi."

"When you schedule some jobs, you should be able to see a list of the jobs contained within each. You have to open up the editor to see what is inside. You must click through and edit stuff. Each time, it asks you to save or discard changes. It's very annoying. You only see the name of the scheduled job, and you need to edit it to see what's it's inside."

"Due to the fact that we are HP and Fugit partners as well, it would be nice if Nakivo would allow support for HP and Fugit storage."

"I would love to see BackBlaze B2 implementation in the future, as that would be our preferred cloud destination, but Amazon and Wasabi are both very great choices in the meantime."

"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."

More NAKIVO Backup & Replication cons

"Technical support could be improved."

"The pricing could be lowered if possible."

"In terms of the physical environment, I'd like them to integrate it with other kinds of solutions. We don't just work with Microsoft or Linux, but other kinds of infrastructure data as well."

"It would be much better if more applications were supported on the Linux side. For example, their agent for Windows not only can back up the Windows machine, but it can also back up Active Directory for granular restore, SQL servers, Exchange, Oracle, SharePoint, etc. When it comes to Linux, only Oracle databases are supported. There are workarounds, though."

"More Linux systems should be made compatible with the solution."

"There is a compatibility issue with HCI."

"In new releases, I hope they can support Oracle cloud."

"There isn't much to improve. They just need to follow the trend or the development of other Linux products. Follow in terms of making the product compatible with new versions of Linux. They just need to include as many versions for Linux as possible."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It has a much higher bang for the buck than other products we evaluated."

"It's really cheap, and our company saves a significant amount of money on IT backup solutions per year."

"You have a lot of different options when it comes to pricing and the pricing models are pretty flexible and affordable."

"The price could be lower."

"Regarding the licensing, I would advise speaking to the Nakivo representatives and you can get the best option for your environment."

"We use a perpetual license that is priced well."

"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."

"The solution's pricing is adequate for its features and quality."

More NAKIVO Backup & Replication pricing and cost advice

"There's the principal license for Veeam Agent for Linux, and then you need to buy additional licenses for your machines."

"The solution is rather expensive and I think the price is too high."

"We have purchased a license to use Veeam Agent for Linux and the additional support. The overall cost of Veeam Agent for Linux is expensive."
