Fantastic product! Easy, Fast, Simple and effective
What do you like best about the product?
Awsome product, Easy, Fast, Affordable
Easy - We got the software up and running within minutes.
Simple management - It took me about an hour to set up 50 backup jobs.
Fast - 24 hours later, everything was backed up.
Good compression: 11TB data takes up only about 7.5TB of space. We have enabled de-duplication and fast compression.
Unofficially supports backup of ESXi 6.7

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It started with the need for backup of ESXi 6.7, which most other vendors could not at the time.
Then when we tried the software, it was so much easier, simpler and faster than the other software we have tried before.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Just try it, it is highly recommended to run a trial.
Since it only take 10-15 minutes to download, install, configure and setup a backup job, there is no reason not to try it out.

Fast and Lightweight - Easy to setup
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of setup. Nakivo Backup and Recovery is pretty much ready to go right out of the box. I've installed this on both a Windows platform and a Synology platform. It works very well on both. Install it, add inventory, create jobs and you're up and running in no time.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing at this time. Nakivo is an easy to use, off the shelf backup application that is cost effective. I have not run into anything at this time that would be off putting.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Nakivo Backup and Recovery is a cost effective backup solution that literally just works. VM backups are easy to setup. Being able to backup all my VMs and not have it cost me an arm and a leg is fantastic.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Definitely take a serious look at Nakivo. They are certainly an up and comer in the backup field. They will save you a bundle over others.
Nakivo, works great for backups. Recovery is a different story.
What do you like best about the product?
Nakivo is a lightweight VM backup solution. We started out using the Windows based installer a few years back but have since switched over to the Nakivo VA. For a smaller sized business it's handy that it takes up a small footprint and resources on the ESXi host. Using default settings the entire VA takes up 2 vCPU, 4GB of RAM and 30GB drive space.
Pros:
1) Easy setup either through installer or VA
2) Lightweight
3) Easy setup for notifications. Emails on success or failures.
4) Newest version has chat support built in

Here's the part that becomes frustrating. While the recovery process does work, there are times you need to jump through hoops to get it functioning. We recently had a VM datastore corrupt after a RAID drive failed (completely not Nakivo related, just providing back story), and we had to recover from USB backups from Nakivo. We luckily were able to setup a test ESXi and run a Flash Boot from Nakivo to verify integrity of backup before recovery. We then started a recovery to the ESXi. The process was quite slow, but understandable on an older server and USB 2.0 (NAS recovery is faster) but at this location that wasn't an option. Took about 47 hours to recover a 2TB VM. Recovery was successful but working with restoring some newer data files, some files were deleted on the recovered VM. This is where the issue starts. We went to run a Flash Boot again to the same ESXi we had previously tested on, but this time it would not allow us to select a datastore as the remaining space on the datastore was 1.8TB, but the VM backup was 2TB.
At this point we contacted support and spent 4 hours troubleshooting. Support was not helpful at all. First we were told NFS wasn't supported for Flash Boot, then we were told VMFS/ATA wasn't supported (but remember we did successfully Flash Boot to the same ESXi before the recovery when there was over 3TB of space.) Long story short I was told they don't know, you should only need a small amount of space, and the last option was to reboot the ESXi servers. Flash Boot does not work across 3 different ESXi servers. Basically Nakivo is good for backups and recovery, but don't expect anything from support.
Cons:
1) Slow recovery vis USB (not really Nakivo's fault)
2) Flash Boot only seems to work with more space than the full size of the VM
3) Support
4) Getting sales calls when trying to re-download VA/installers

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Nakivo allows us to keep backups of our VM's for recovery purposes. It may be slow to recovery depending on your backup media, but is still a lot faster than trying to rebuild from scratch.
The Only One That I Can Count On!!!
What do you like best about the product?
Fast backups, restores. Nice boot snapshot feature for peace of mind. Easy install and setup.
What do you dislike about the product?
Only con is the product and licensing is a little difficult to understand. Not a problem though; just email of the nice support agents. Pretty fast response time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have tried many other VM backup solutions. I also make sure to have 3 different backups using differemt products for fail proof restores. Many times Nakivo was the only restore that worked. All others have failed me in my time of need. Price is very fair, fair enough that it is an easy sell to my clients with limited budgets.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great product, great price.
Nakivo backup and replication
What do you like best about the product?
Very easy and simple managing interface as well as deployment on qnap appliances.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing that I really don't like. We have been using Nakivo for a year and we haven't had any bad experience with it so far
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Backing up our hyper-v vm's to our qnap and being able to restore them when they fail.
Best "Bang for the buck" VM backup I have worked with
What do you like best about the product?
I have been using Nakivo for about 3 years on several different environments of my clients,
for VMware image backups. Straightforward very well organized GUI that is so intuitive, that from the first moment you feel like you know what to do. The internal deduplication and network compressions work like a charm. The replication feature is simple yet functional, covering for otherwise expensive software from other vendors. Using the remote backup and replication features between 2 DC's and getting very consistent and satisfactory performance results. Overall I love the product and would recommend it to anyone.

What do you dislike about the product?
1) Repository management is very simple, partially only available from the cli.
2) Not possible to skip on any virtual disks of a VM that is running backup/replication (Can't bypass temp/dev/backup partitions,....).

After spending years working with complicated and expensive products, including EMC and Symantec solutions, we have an ease of use financially sain product.
Nakivo the best solution!
What do you like best about the product?
Nakivo Backup & Replication has removed my headache, as I know now that all my data is “in good hands”. Simple and intuitive interface has done process of recovery much easier, global deduplication and compression that works per block level helped to save space that is used for other important needs. Recovery of small files directly to the source, Flash VM boot, Automated VM Failover and many other nice features that may be received with Nakivo. Great value for reasonable price, highly recommended!
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing yet... Nothing yet...Nothing yet...

Brings simplicity to Virtual Servers Data Protection needs.
