No Longer A Good VM Backup Solution
What do you like best?
1. Lightweight Linux VM. Windows is not required.
2. Screenshot verification. This gives us peace of mind that we can recover from our backups.
3. The backup storage files are not a small number of huge files, as with VDP, but a number of smaller files. This gives us the ability to copy only the small number of files that change to a daily disk thats get removed off-site.
4. Self backup of Nakivo configuration to the backup repository
5. Access to tech support

What do you dislike?
1. Constant problems in the last few versions. No clear indication of what's causing the problems.
2. No indication on where bottlenecks are occurring. The logging available from the GUI interface doesn't have enough information when there are connection issues while creating a repository.
3. You need to login as root and edit the system scripts to turn on detailed logging.
4. All of the time spent diagnosing and fixing squandered all of the savings buying this less expensive product.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed a backup that had low system overhead, a wide variety of storage options, quick, de-duplication, and recovery testing.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Do yourself a favor and skip this product. Look into a complete solution like Veeam, which doesn't have all of the technical problems.
Cost-efficient and reliable backups
What do you like best?
I like Nakivo because it is very robust, we have never had an issues were our backups or replication has failed due Nakivo. So as long as the servers are running and are accessible Nakivo does his job.
What do you dislike?
Not a lot of support for physical Linux servers, sometimes you need the support to do backup VM but with no access to the host and that option is missing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helps us with all the DR scenarios we are implementing were we need backup and replicas of the existing servers.

Configure VMware backup to your QNAP NAS with in minutes
What do you like best?
It took me only few minutes to configure my first VMware backup to QNAP 451+ NAS, even-though I have never used or never seen the product before.
NAKIVO support is really good, they reply back to you immediately if you have any issue with the product.
It is really worth the money we have spent for NAKIVO Backup licenses since it does the job perfectly and the licenses are really cheap.

What do you dislike?
At the time when I configured NAKIVO Backup for VMware 6.7 U3, it did not identified VMs on my VMware platform. So, I had to get a patch. But after a week NAKIVO team was able to release their latest permanent build with VMware 6.7 U3 support with it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Recently our Active Directory was crashed and stopped working, luckily with help of NAKIVO Backup I was able to recover the whole VM and start using the AD as it was before.
Report generation for auditing purpose is really easy. It takes me only few clicks to generate a report.

Excellent value for money
What do you like best?
The direct customer support is great. Many occasions got answers after hours. Product works as advertised. We are getting very good performance out of the system, and when we faced some misconfigurations , the support team was there to help us any time. Their support system is very transparent, integrated directly into the web interface. So far our tests only included vmware esxi vm backups and a few restores to test the system. There were no glitches with it. I particularly like that only the source is licensed, so we were able to roll out several off-site data backup locations to further protect the vital parts of our infrastructure.
What do you dislike?
There is no problems with Nakivo so far. I have only a minor grievance, that is in our scenario, we are running a second hypervisor just for the vcsa service, and in order to back that up I need to make manual clones to the main hypervisor, because it was only licensed to the 2 processors in the main system. It would be nice if all versions would include domain integration, so the deployment would be more secure than a single user/password pair. I wouldn't mind some sort of a feature that the transponders would not have to be offline for scubbing, because in some of our datastores it takes well over a half a day.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is a quite easy-to-manage, turnkey solution for our backups. Complexity in our backup systems reduced greatly by investing in the Nakivo solution. And now that the reports come daily it is a lot safer and more efficient to keep an eye on the backups.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Add maybe support for domain integration to all services. Consider a different approach for integrity check and cleanup that doesn't completely disable the transponder (or make the backup queued so that they would execute when scrubbing is done)
Amazing backup solution
What do you like best?
The ability to convert a standalone server to VM and the addition of tape and VTL support for backup was the only thing pending. Very simple and clean interface. Not many tabs to move around. Very easy to use.
What do you dislike?
Nothing as of now. With the introduction of 9.1 version, most of the inabilities have been rectified.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Low cost, easy of use and web based management are some of the major advantages. The addition of apps for NAS like Synology and QNAP has made it much easier to backup and protect the servers.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Easy, quick and no hassle backup software. Now with the support of Tape and VTL and with SQL plugin, it covers all aspects for a proper backup system.
Very good solution
What do you like best?
Easy to deploy, reactivity. We were looking for a new backup système for our customers. We had now found one with a very good support.
What do you dislike?
Haven't really found yet, my customers are happy this solution. I did not have complain yet
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Everything goes faster, from the quotation to the deployment, time is priceless.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Juste try it
Nakivo is the bomb
What do you like best?
easy to install, easy to use, inexpensive.It just does the job
What do you dislike?

Ease of use and extremely reliable
What do you like best?
The most use full and best thing about Nakivo Backup and Replication is that it really works out of a box and with very little prerequisite involved. The configuration process is really simple. Plus as a system it does not brake up. If there is a error in job you will find it in FAQ most of the time.
What do you dislike?
The only downside i see is some times the component involved in the process confuses you. like transporter service and also adding or increasing storage of the appliance.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Nakivo is very client friendly, so its make it more easy to assign people to maintain the backup and replication jobs. Second big advantage its is value to money if compare to other product available in the market
