Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 price is much lower than competitors that do the same function."
"The implementation of Nakivo made it possible to implement the information security policies currently in force in the company and to meet the statutory requirements in the field of IT security."
"They reply immediately to any query raised from us as a technician or consultant and they know the pulse of the market and keep updating the features in such a big way."
"The VM, restore, and file recovery capabilities are considered gold standards."
"It is affordable."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to pick up individual files."
"What I found most valuable in Veeam Agent for Linux is that it can unify machines and even simplify management."
"The Veeam Backup and Replication Suite is very user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature is the instant restore option."
"The only thing I really like about it is that you can deploy it from Backup and Replication onto a virtual Linux machine."
"Veeam has a "next, next, finish" installer, and the overall deployment is straightforward. The deployment is easy because Veeam is compatible with all our VMware services and VMs. Veeam Backup and Veeam ONE are integrated into vCenter or vSphere site deployments, so we don't need to deploy each server one by one."
"The initial setup was straightforward. It's not complicated. It takes around half an hour to implement, but it depends on the performance of the server that you are installing the backup software on."
"The user interface is good."
 

Cons

"It would be good if I could have a remote upgrade of our Synology Transporters, but the manual upgrade is easy and no problem at all."
"While Nakivo delivers comprehensive solutions, there's room for enhancement, particularly regarding Proxmox support."
"In the future, I would like to see support for backing up data to more cloud platforms, besides Amazon."
"There is a lack of native (web-based) update functionality."
"What must be improved is the response time to technical support requests."
"NAKIVO should broaden its horizons in terms of compatibility and integration with other tools."
"There are many features we have not had the opportunity to try, such as Tape Backups, Office 365 backups, and many other things."
"The only thing I could say is maybe some more options for job scheduling are needed."
"There is a compatibility issue with HCI."
"They could be more customer-friendly."
"The solution is pretty stable right now, however, we believe that the solution could be made to be even more stable."
"One problem in Veeam Agent for Linux is that you can't use your license for all your machines because you don't have a virtual machine, so if you're going to add machines and scale, you'd need to pay extra."
"In the next version, I would like to see an increase in the locations online. I have found that other products have good pickup location."
"I would like to be able to install Veeam directly to Linux instead of having to go through a Windows server."
"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."
"Technical support could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing model is crystal clear on the website."
"Pricing is easy to understand and very affordable."
"Regarding the licensing, I would advise speaking to the Nakivo representatives and you can get the best option for your environment."
"The price is not a problem in NAKIVO, as it is the most competitive in the market."
"Nakivo has a good price-performance ratio."
"I think the price is competitive. However, for some projects, it can be a bit much for price-sensitive small businesses."
"As a free solution for a small environment, this is a great solution!"
"From the perspective of Indian users, the cost is a little bit high."
"Licensing costs are monthly."
"The costing is very competitive."
"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."
"Veeam Agent is one of the cheapest products in the market."
"It's a subscription based license, which is started on a yearly basis. Currently the licensing is split between three editions: standard, enterprise, and enterprise plus. As long as you check the comparison between the additions and make sure that you have what you need, there are no extra costs with Veeam."
"Price-wise it's good."
"Licensing costs are $300,000 USD yearly, and we pay for three years at a time."
"There's the principal license for Veeam Agent for Linux, and then you need to buy additional licenses for your machines."
