Great backup and replication service
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of use of the application and how quickly you can get up and running
What do you dislike about the product?
This would be even better if you could get a screenshot verification from Hyper-V VMs
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Struggling with cost effective backup and disaster recovery solutions that just didn't fit with clients needs or budgets. Nakivo removes those issues
High value, entry-level backup software
What do you like best about the product?
It's really easy to setup and works great right out of the gate.
What do you dislike about the product?
I've had it installed for about 6 months, and I haven't really found anything about Nakivo that I don't like.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have a small number of VMs on ESXi that I need to support. I don't have a need yet for a VM server farm, but I will soon. I wanted a product that is easy to maintain and less expensive than some of the other solutions on the market. Nakivo fit all of the requirements I had.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Definitely do your due diligence, as there may be other products that fit your needs better. However, I recommend doing the trial and checking it out for yourself.
Fast backups & reliable restores
What do you like best about the product?
1) Runs as a Linux VM, so does not consume a Windows license. Nakivo can run on Windows if you are in a Windows-only shop, but if you have a mixed Windows / Linux environment, Linux can understand both NTFS and EXT4, so you can do individual file restores for both platforms.
2) Relatively low resource requirements. My Nakivo VM is backing up around 40 VMware guests, but only needs 2 vCPU and 4GB RAM.
3) Simple and intuitive web interface. I've even run it on my phone.
4) The dedupe functionality does not consume much CPU / RAM.
I can't say that Nakivo has the best dedupe I've ever seen (EMC Avamar holds that crown), but the low CPU/RAM resource consumption makes up for that.
5) The Backup Copy Job makes it easy to have an offsite backup for DR purposes.
I use this feature to provide cross-site offsite backups between two data centers.
6) The VMware replication feature is great for test labs. I've used it to rapidly deploy multiple VM's for testing, so it saves me a bunch of time.
7) Flash VM Boot makes it really quick to recover from hardware failures. I had an old VMware server die on me last year, and the dozen or so VM's on that machine were up and running on an alternate host 5 minutes later.

What do you dislike about the product?
The individual file restore process is a bit clunky.
I'm not a big fan of the whole strategy of downloading individual files from the web interface, and then using a separate procedure to copy the files to the machine that needs the files.
In a perfect world, I would like to be able to kick off individual file restores directly on the client machine, but I realize that is not really feasible in an agentless environment.
I've been working around this by exporting the mounted backup image from the Transporter directly to the client machine, and then using the client machine to copy from the NFS or SMB export, as described at https://helpcenter.nakivo.com/display/KB/Direct+Recovery+of+Files+to+a+VM
NOTE: Apparently, in-guest file restore is on the roadmap for Q2 2018, so this might not be an issue for much longer.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Easy to make both onsite and offsite backups, with simple and reliable restores.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are still using legacy in-guest backup solutions (Netbackup, Commvault, TSM, etc), look at Nakivo for backing up your VMware/Hyper-V environments.

Availability issues for 24/7 as well as VM backup
Our "go to" for backkup and data recovery
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to set up and use, no agents on vm's or hosts. We have a few backup products but Nakivo is the one we turn to when we need to recover data. We quickly find the data we need be that a file or a complete vm. No training needed as it's very intuitive. On top of that, it's competitively priced.
What do you dislike about the product?
Support is very good, but not immediate. This hasn't been a problem for us but it is something for Nakivo to grow.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed an easy to use, flexible backup system and Nakivo is the answer. We can easily save backups to AWS S3. All around we are very happy with the product.
Easy to use, yet POWERFUL!
What do you like best about the product?
The Web interface is very easy to understand and use. Reliable backup and restore of my VM's. This took care of all of our needs for backing up and restoring.
What do you dislike about the product?
The initial setup process of getting my backup location set gave me some trouble with connecting to the share. But I was able to get it working.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
When a VM goes down, Nakivo saved the day!
Vmware Backup Sucess
What do you like best about the product?
I like the logical and modular nature of the product. With 30 years of IT experience I've used a ton of backup products and some flavors just drive you nuts and other feel easy from day one. Nakivo just makes good sense. (note this is an interal use application by a partner)
From a product standpoint the key features I wanted for snap shot backups, good performance and excellent reporting were all found and easy to setup on the product.

What do you dislike about the product?
All bakcup products have some learning curve and testing activity that I always try to short cut but spending a little time on this task is just sensible and required. Some pricing combinations were more money than I wanted as we use a 2nd VMware server for some test platforms and the pricing added some cost to use those but not unfairly, just wish it was less.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our Vmware server were backed up at the OS level but with Ransomware server level attacks growing I wanted to move to a vmware centric backup instead for the added issolation of the process and backup destination and Nakivo provides that nicely with our Synology based application (1517)
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Test the product as the rusults will lead you to like and trust the product
Excellent product
What do you like best about the product?
Omg the installation is very simple and efficient. The perfomance of Nakivo is awesome, now configuring the system is extremely easy and straight forward.
What do you dislike about the product?
I like everything about the product. The only thing that I would improve is the update process. Updating the virtual appliance requires a manual process of uploading the update file. I would prefer there be a method to do it all from the web interface.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am able to backup local. The software is easily customized to back up what you need and skip what you do not need. This saved us money in offsite storage.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Go for it, is a great program that will solve a lot of problems for your company.
