The best backup solution for the money

It is still the solution to be chosen, so I recommend that everyone try it before buying another variant.

What they liked
  • Our company has used Nakivo as its backup solution for over seven years
  • From the beginning, I have appreciated how simple and intuitive the software is to use
  • I practically never needed to read the documentation to perform basic backup or restore operations
  • The online help for advanced features is very well organized and descriptive
  • Microsoft 365 and Proxmox support are among the most important of multiple features added over the years
Room for improvement
  • - Backup to tape is slower than other available solutions, which is why it is not a viable option for us
  • - There were a couple of minor glitches, but they weren't significant enough to contact support

  • Simple implementation
  • Recovery from backups has been fast and effective, its interface is very intuitive and simple

Room for improvement

What I didn't like was that it was not in Spanish, but in version 11 several languages ​​were added

Why they chose it

"Both cover our backup and recovery needs, they are very complete, very easy to use, but Nakivo is cheaper (a lot)"

Reliable and easy-to-use backup solution

Overall, NAKIVO Backup & Replication has been a solid solution for our environment. It combines good performance with ease of use, and support has been responsive whenever needed. It’s a cost-effective tool that covers all essential backup needs.

What they liked
  • Easy to set up and very user-friendly
  • The interface is intuitive, and managing backups and replication tasks doesn’t require much training
  • It works reliably and gives peace of mind that our data is secure
Room for improvement

Reporting options could be a bit more detailed out of the box, and the web interface sometimes feels slightly slow with larger environments

The Pro's and Con's of Nakivo BU&R

One of confidence, this software is a strong tool for IT Environments and their costing model is fair too! VM's are priced per socket, etc.

What they liked
  • Ease of use and functionality, fantastic product that runs and doesn't fail
  • Easy to backup and restore VM's and you can also store your backups on various media such as NAS, USB, AWS (3-2-1) and also enables you to run your OWN backups of your OFFICE 365 mailboxes and One Drive data
Room for improvement
  • The product is stable and seldom needs to be supported by the vendor but they MAKE you pay for support on ALL licenses (in retrospect) as soon as you want to buy more licenses
  • I went a whole year without support as I was more than confident of the product, only to be told that I have to back-date support if I want any more licenses
  • Rather irritating given the stability of the product
Why they chose it

"Nakivo was more cost effective than any other products compared"

  • "Server 2008"
Switched From

Needed a more enterprise centered solution with features for the changing times.

Backup Revelation!

Verified reviewer

What they liked
  • Ease of use and perpetual licensing options
Room for improvement
  • Issues with transporter servers

Subscription licensing was forced, was really complex for immutable backups.

Produce only if NAKIVO is with you :)

NAKIVO helped me in the event of a host failure as well as damage to the virtual machines. In these cases, a previously prepared backup helped.

What they liked
  • The most important thing is the reliability of this tool
  • It has saved me several times in my work
Room for improvement
  • I don't see any disadvantages of NAKIVO
  • For me it would be easier to have backups in the form of easily transferable files than a complicated repository, but of course I appreciate functionality and reliability above all

VMware ended the support of its VDP tool. Veeam was good for a while in free version but to expensive later to buy.

Why they chose it

"NAKIVO was less expensive and work very good."

Affordable and usable with a few gotchas

Used it for several years, over all pretty happy, but eventually switched to Veeam which has continued to imprive.

What they liked

Easy to use, fast and compressed backups, good storage options at an affordable price

Room for improvement
  • Support policy isn't the best
  • Once it's setup it's good to go, but implementing VMware backups can get complicated
Why they chose it

"We chose Veeam, not Nakivo. Veeam seems more modern, with more storage options, and now ProxMox support"
