Nakivo Backup & Replication
What do you like best about the product?
Nakivo is truly simplistic to use and very efficient at what it does.
Very easy to setup with just a few clicks and it was done and running.
It tells you everything you need to know, such as backup time, if there were any issues or not.
You can set it up to be fully automated or run them manually, it is up to you.
and Intergating it to our Wasabi could was so easy a 5yr old could do it.
I use it daily for reporting and it has never let me down.
The support is also exceptional and helpful in a way that I have not experienced with any other solution we have tried. Also I was very surprised about its compression value onto our Wasabi Cloud platform. Dealing with the team at Nakivo has been an absolute pleasure. Nothing is too much and there are no stupid questions either, they are just helpful.
The platform itself is very elegant and easy to use, it is clean and purposeful with no jargon or useless bits added to it. Just works and that’s all anyone could ask for.
And the price point is excellent!!!
What do you dislike about the product?
No real nagative points as it does exactly what it is supposed too.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It solved the issue of being able to not only backup files on my servers, but the entire server itself. when using other products I had to decided on either File or Bare Metal but not both unless I was paying top money for it.

Good replication features with helpful reporting and comprehensive email notifications
What is our primary use case?
I use the solution for the backup and replication of VMs.
I use Nakivo to back up in-house VMs. We also use the replication features of the product. With such an option I can just switch on the second standby hardware over to a replicated server at a fraction of the time, thus taking a lot of pressure off us in the case of mission-critical operations.
It's a good asset in our IT department. it has an easy installation deployment and an easy control panel to administer. I highly recommend it.
How has it helped my organization?
Nakivo backup and replication has improved our organization a lot by its deployment scenario across two bare metals running VMware, its easy configuration, and reporting.
Nakivo has improved our organization largely due to the fact that it is an extremely robust backup system too.
It comes with a replication module that is very critical to safeguard our mission-critical servers. This has been applied on several servers across our sites with great results as it becomes a Plan B in case of a hardware failure or an outage of the primary system.
What is most valuable?
We find the backup to the Synology NAS and replication features the most valuable to our environment.
We also like the comprehensive email notifications with attached reports. This reporting is very very easy to set up and is saved in PDF format, making it extremely simple to both share and organize. A complete history log can be shown with this product from inception to end of life.
We appreciate the implementation and very good cooperation with Synology NAS and application integration. This is vital to us in minimizing the cost of the extra hardware.
What needs improvement?
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. It takes a long time to finish and another job could start, so the first job may not finish, or expire unfinished. That said, that's a software-specific problem of the hosted server edition, and not Nakivo-related. A fix could be to raise the time needed to end the job or solve the VSS writers on the operating system, in order to succeed.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using the solution for about three years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The stability is very good.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The scalability is robust.
How are customer service and support?
Technical support is very helpful.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I didn't have another solution previously.
How was the initial setup?
The solution offers a very easy setup.
What about the implementation team?
We did an in-house implementation.
What was our ROI?
The ROI has been positive.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Overall, it's worth the money.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Good monitoring, reduces costs, and helps with compliance
What is our primary use case?
We use Nakivo Backup and Replication to protect our critical data from virtual and physical machines. It is also very important to control the correctness of backups, which allows us to recover data after a failure.
We also use the Wasabi cloud copy function. We replicate copies to the offline environment.
We also secure our SQL servers by using the ability to run scripts before and after the backup. We use developed and implemented backup policies and schedules.
We leverage the possibility of making a copy of Microsoft 365
How has it helped my organization?
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.
The possibility of implementing extensive security policies and the developed schedules allowed for the reduction of costs related to ensuring information security.
We also solved and deployed anti-ransomware using Nakivo. We monitor our virtual environment, CPU, RAM, and disk usage across VMware infrastructure including hosts, virtual machines, and data warehouses. This allows real-time data analysis directly from the solution interface.
What needs improvement?
The location of the product is important. So far, there is no version that supports Polish. If such a version existed, many customers in our region would decide to purchase and implement this solution.
The graphical interface could be improved. Real-time replication allows you to instantly send data to a secondary site to create an exact copy of virtual machines (VMs) and continuously update that copy as changes are made to the original VM. It's in beta, and there's no word on when the release version will be available. This is an important functionality that allows you to ensure business continuity by activating the replica in the event of a failure.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Nakivo Backup and Replication for eight years.
