Nakivo Backup & Replication Easy to use VM backup software
What do you like best about the product?
it was easy to setup and use. The tutorials walk you through pretty much everything you need to know.
What do you dislike about the product?
There isn't much to dislike. The layout and menu aren't the best but the product works well.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed an offsite backup for our most mission critical servers. We can always buy equipment but not the data.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It was one of the easier network software implementations I've had.

Awsome software for backing up your homelab
What do you like best about the product?
1) Ease of use
I installed Nakivo on my Synology NAS for backing up guest on my ESX host. Installation was super easy and the GUI is very easy to understand. CBT works great for incrementral backups and the backups/restores are very fast and reliable. I've used the NFR-licens for about a year so I have tried many of it's functions.
2) Support
I had some problems with Nakivo and vmfs6 and the support guys actually setup a conference call to help me solve it.

Nothing really. If there is something I don't understand I just have to ask the support team.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have a small number of VM's that I need to protect. Nakivo makes it hassle-free and I don't have to worry about my data.

Try it out, you'll be suprised
NAKIVO Small Business Implementation
What do you like best about the product?
Intuitive interface that runs within the web browser of your QNAP or on-premise storage solution. A calendar displays the backup schedule so that you can prioritize backups effectively. NAKIVO was fast and easy to install and deploy on both our QNAP and Synology storage devices.
What do you dislike about the product?
It takes a bit of research to understand the transporters required for different applications. However, the default installation comes with a generic transporter for basic functionality.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
On premises backup and restoration of internal VM's. Restoration of VM's is very fast and can be managed within the GUI. There are multiple restoration points (depending on the quantity of backups you store) that can be used to restore a VM to a safe timestamp. Implementation was much faster for us than other product offerings like Veeam.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Excellent product if you're looking for fast implementation.

Works great for Hyper-V - Fast & Efficient
What do you like best about the product?
Nakivo works cleanly and efficiently when backing up Hyper-V VMs. The software does well with a mixed environment of Linux and Windows VMs, and deduplication and compression make off-site backups viable. Restoring VMs from off-site or on-site storage was painless and easy.
Initially I was concerned that the several TB of VM data we had would be too much for off-site backups, but deduplication coupled with heavy compression brought this down to only a few hundred GB when uploading to Azure File Storage.
The software is quite flexible in that you can either use an SMB file store, or configure a light-weight VM in Azure with Nakivo's transporter installed for better security / more efficient transport when doing off-site backups. Using Backup Copy jobs allows you to keep nice and consistent backups.

What do you dislike about the product?
There's not much to dislike. I have found the Linux transporter implementation to be a bit more robust than the Windows transporter in some scenarios, so I would recommend just setting up a Linux VM or using Nakivo's virtual appliance if you're running VMWare. It's very light on resources.
One thing I found is that if you trigger another job after successfully completing a job, the second job inherits the schedule of the first one (thus, if the first job executes every day of the week, so will the triggered job that follows it). You can't select that they only occur on certain days, so if you need to distribute off-site backups throughout a week, for example, this is a bit difficult. It may be possible to achieve this with Pre and Post job scripts, however I haven't looked into this. (You can execute scripts that run before and after a job).
Lastly, if I'm going to struggle to find other issues, I'd only suggest that they replace the background image in their web UI. Usually you'd just access it on a local browser, but if you view the window in Remote Desktop (for whatever reason - you really should just connect with your browser) the image doesn't compress well and it's not a great experience. Switching the image out to a solid color solves this.

On-site and off-site backups. The data compression, deduplication and low resource usage is very nice.
NAKIVO Backup & Replication, quick & easy setup
What do you like best about the product?
Purchased a Synology Diskstation and partnered it with NAKIVO Backup & Replication. Perfect combination. Integrated with the Synology, NAKIVO installation took just a few minutes. And it was super easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
No dislikes at all. SUPER EASY! TRUELY SIMPLE
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
NAKIVO gives us peace of mind and data security. Anyone running a small business VMware vCenter should grab NAKIVO for a solid, quick and easy solution. Up and running in minutes.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Number 1 pick, search no further.
Amazing backup solution
What do you like best about the product?
I like the simplicity of managing all the aspects of backup, restore and replications. Many amazing features such as Flash boot (booting a backup in 12 seconds) and individual file access. Backup to the cloud works like a charm and was setup without effort, as everything is handled within Nakivo. Incremental backup and use of VmWare CBT reduces backup time a LOT! Deduplication reduces storage space a LOT! Support is fantastic, prompt replies and relevant answers.
What do you dislike about the product?
So far, not much. Maybe the fact that Transporters running on Synology cannot be used directly to Recover files individually. But work around exists.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Getting rid of tape backups infrastructure that is getting old. Having a backup solution that supports 3-2-1 backup startegy, where I have my backups locally, and a copy out in the cloud.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I found no pitfalls, so not recommandations at the moment....
