Very good and price efficient alternative to Veeam

  • November 28, 2018
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Coming from a KVM solution and migrating to VMware with two clusters, we were looking into a solution to backup our complete machines. Looking at the obvious competitors and testing a few, we noticed that the other software solutions seemed archaic and sometimes did not do a good job displaying backup progress or adding additional datastores as a backup target. Veeam being the industry standard for VM backups seemed way overpriced for what we want of the software solution. Besides, most used features that we (maybe) want to use in the future are already included in the Professional license.
We use this backup solution for our 2 VMware Essential clusters of 3 machines each. As long as we don't overlap running jobs everything just runs fine without intervention. We already tried to restore from the backups which resulted in a fully functional booting VM without corruption.
What do you dislike about the product?
If you really need the extra features other packages offer, you look elsewhere. However, I cannot really think of a reason why anyone would need more features then already included the Professional/Enterprise license. This might be the lack of complexity in our situation :-)
We definitely can't see any downs, since the product did everything it promised and did not crash during our tests and production time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The complete absence of backups, not counting rsync as a backup. We now have backups on site and a backup copy job to our office from our datacenter site.

Stable and easy to use Backup Solution!

  • November 26, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Very well designed product! We use it in conjunction with a Synology-NAS as an Backup-Appliance.
It just works great for us and our customers, even exotic configurations like replicas on the same ESXi Host (2 different Datastores) are easy to setup up and just work!!
We are happy with NAKIVO Backup & Replication. Its a stable, time saving and reliable solution.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing, since we only use the appliance mode, we cannot speak about the Version which needs an installation.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We achieve fast and reliable image based backups for VMs

What do you like best about the product?
Simple to use and setup
Clean interface
Just works
What do you dislike about the product?
I haven't found anything that I really dislike so far.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed a backup solution to backup our Hyper-V cluster with offsite backup.
Nakivo does all this while running on our Synology NAS.

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.
