Great Value VMWare Backup
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
Great product

Easy to use and very good price! Also, backups are very fast!
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing, everything works like we were expecting!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were searching for a good and reliable solution to implement and maintain.

Incredibly easy to use and reliable backups with stellar support
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.

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.
Superb Site Recovery!
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. :-)

Start your proof of concept ASAP and you will see that you won't regret trading in your existing solution for Nakivo.
Sleek, fast, easy to use and very affordable
What do you like best about the product?
I found Nakivo a few years ago while googling around looking for a solution for our new virtualization infrastructure. I had planned on going with Veeam originally, but was drawn to Nakivo's prices. In addition to their already cheap prices, I found that they offered non profit pricing as well. I figured I would try them out. This is the first virtualization product that I have setup myself, and I have say that it is gloriously simplistic. During my initial install, I was up and running backups within 10 minutes. After the initial backup, the incremental backups are very fast. We have 1.80TB of servers, one of which houses our roaming profiles. It takes about an hour and a half to run the incremental backups each night, and it takes me about 5 minutes to recover a server.
What do you dislike about the product?
Honestly, I don't have much to complain about. This is a set it and forget it type deal. I run the occasional self recovers to be sure that its still working and so far, I haven't had a single corrupted backup after two years. I am having some slowness issues with our offsite backup over a VPN tunnel, but that is just a limitation of the throughput on the tunnel itself and not that of Nakivo.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Nakivo for both our onsite and offsite backups. We are using a Synology NAS on both ends. We are able to install the application directly onto the NAS itself giving us faster backup speeds and bypassing SMB speed limitations.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give the trial a spin. you will know within half an hour that you need this product. For those 501(c)3 companies out there, ask about their non profit pricing.
Simple, complete solution. Good deduplication and remote copy capabilities, fine grained restore.
What do you like best about the product?
Nakivo is very simple to setup, using a simple web interface. Deduplication and compression is working well. Remote backup copies is part of the basics, and allow much configuration. The restore options are great: boot VM from the backup, restore VM, file level restore. For SQL Server, it is possible to restore a single table, with or without data. For Exchange server, it is possible to restore a single email.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's not much to say. The only drawback is that you can backup only VMs, but no physical machine.
And their sales and support mails go straight to the spam.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This is a complete backup solution with all you need. We have set up a backup strategy for disaster recovery we can be confident in.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You are on the right track. The trial licence allows you to fully test, you will like it !
Awesome Product very easy to use
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of use, just snapping the appliance into a NAS or VMware great! Easy navigation and guided selections and functionality made it so easy to learn the product. The ease of creating and running backups or replications so simple. I highly recommend this product.
What do you dislike about the product?
Didn't find anything to dislike, It was very easy to implement and quick to learn and use.

Data Center Backup up strategy
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great product easy to use
Very good support during testing
What do you like best about the product?
I installed it on the Synolgy NAS, so I can run the application independently from VMware
What do you dislike about the product?
It is nog possible to run the transporter software part in the Synolgy.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Now I can do the backup of the bare bone VMs.
No needs for something else
What do you like best about the product?
Nakivo is a briliant all in one backup product. We have been using Veeam before but because that software needs a Windows Server to work, we have been looking for an appliance.
Setup and configuration super fast.
Support is great and very fast, no needs for tickets etc.

Backup and Replication of our virtuals
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I strongly recommend to use this product. You have trial for that
Excellent product, handled our environment without a hitch.
What do you like best about the product?
We use a QNAP NAS to host our virtual environment data. We found that NAKIVO was a featured app in the QNAP App Store. After installing the app, the NAKIVO software was a breeze to navigate through and begin taking backups. The restoration of our virtual guests was just as easy as taking the backups as well. Very satisfied with the product, 5 stars!
What do you dislike about the product?
Only limited to one user account in our test environment, would like more granularity in user access for audit/logging purposes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are solving resiliency and redundancy of our environment. Realized immense benefits when one host server was swapped for a replacement and our environment came back online.
