Plug and play for VM backups

  • November 20, 2018
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Like the title says its a robust plug and play like a solution for easily backing up virtual machines. The UI intuitive for basic needs, but still allows you to dig into a plethora of other settings. I also liked the seamless integration with other storage solutions like a Qnap. All in all, this is a good all in one backup and restoroition program for your VMware appliances. Also, the support is stellar.
What do you dislike about the product?
Honestly, haven't had enough time to explore using Nakivo outside of VMware & QNAP ecosystem, so I worry that there may be compatibility issues if we decide to go with other virtualization and storage solutions in the future.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The ability to have multiple snapshots of a VM over time is great if you need to roll back a few versions of your deployment.

NAKIVO magic

  • November 16, 2018
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The simplicity of the setup compared to other solutions. The interface is web-based and very engineer friendly. Screen-shot verification of the backup image is probably one of the best features, this gives me and my clients great piece of mind.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much at all. Auto failover would be great to have, but still we are just one click from having a client server back online and running services again. Cross platform restore would also be good. E.g backup from HyperV and restore to Vmware.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Client RTO time has gone from hours to minutes.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Instant recovery on heartbeat.

Easy to use, good support

  • October 29, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
straightforward gui (by far not as confusin as veeam)
creation of new objects as easy as pie
real bargain compared to veeam
What do you dislike about the product?
it appears to be not as robust as veeam - after one year of usage I already had 3 instances of corrupt repository (owing to less than optimal hardware but still...)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's a backup system, it does vm backup and restore and its cheap

Great Value VMWare Backup

  • October 25, 2018
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ease of Use and Cost. The Gui is entirely web based making administration easy from any PC in the school.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not a lot. Sometimes we have issues when we update to a new version of VMWare but this is fixed by upgrading Nakivo to the latest version
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It enables us to easily backup our virtual infrastructure at a fraction of the cost of Veeam which we were using previously.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
A great alternative to other VMware backup solutions

Very intuitive, fast implementation, reliable functionality

  • October 23, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The easy of implementation and the intuitive interface brings us a total VM backup solution embedded in QNAP. After review another products of the crowd of backup solutions, we decided for Nakivo.
What do you dislike about the product?
Only one admin can be logged, but we have various users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Securing our VM platform and a reliable source of backup for remediation of disasters.

Incredibly easy to use and reliable backups with stellar support

  • October 16, 2018
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
We have been using Nakivo for years now, and it has been a rock solid choice. The interface is very intuitive with a low learning curve. The backup system itself is very performant and yet is not a resource hog. You may need to use more than one virtual appliance depending on how your backup repositories are setup (we have two VMs handling two repositories).

Easy to use
Set and forget
No tapes (obviously, but still)!
What do you dislike about the product?
Advanced users can tinker behind the scenes, but this product is really meant for to handle backups for you. If you need extreme control, you might want to try something else. On the other hand, Nakivo has some good automation in their product so you can run scripts before and/or after jobs, etc.

Honestly, the only negative I'd cite is very minor: the Pro version only allows a single admin account. We're a small company, so this isn't a huge deal, but we'd prefer not to have to share an admin account.

One more thing that's not really a dislike, but more of an improvement - I would love it if the daily backup report had a giant checkmark to indicate that everything succeeded or an X if something failed. Then I wouldn't have to skim down the entire list of jobs to see if they all succeeded.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Any hiccups we had were addressed quickly by their support staff and the product continues to mature along with VMware. When we were ready to switch to vCenter 6.5, Nakivo had the update to their product ready to go just in time.

Nakivo Backup

  • October 15, 2018
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Software is very easy to setup and use. Very intuitive setup of backups jobs, transporters and storage devices. Monitoring of backup jobs shows backup speed and running backup time. Restores can be of a whole VM machine or just one folder or file. Overall an excellent product.
What do you dislike about the product?
Would like to see a stand alone console for monitoring backup jobs instead of monitoring jobs via a web browser.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Nakivo backup and Replication is a very affordable product with pricing based on a per cpu socket. Other products are much more expensive per esxi host backed up.

Superb Site Recovery!

  • October 12, 2018
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I have been using Nakivo on Synology for a long time, having it in a complex storage environment for backups together with dedicated backup solution. Recently came across Nakivo new version release with disaster recovery plan included and got impressed! Site Recovery embedded into the product as a feature, Nakivo does not deliver it as a separate product. Therefore, using Failover I can easily transfer workloads from VM to its replica and vice versa applying Failback! Have developed my personal DR plan and now I am always a step ahead!
What do you dislike about the product?
That I didn't discover Nakivo earlier it made life so much easier. :-)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Easily transfer workloads from VM to its replica and vice versa applying Failback!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Start your proof of concept ASAP and you will see that you won't regret trading in your existing solution for Nakivo.
