NAKIVO Backup & Replication Awesome tool!

Rating: 9 out of 10

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use NAKIVO Backup & Replication as our backup tool so we can feel secure. This has addressed our fear of losing our important data and gave us the possibility to recover lost data by just easily recovering that data.

NAKIVO Backup & Replication has always been a reliable tool for us, never had any issue with it, plus NAKIVO Backup & Replication support is the best that I've had the pleasure to use.

Pros

  • Backup
  • Recovery
  • Replication

Cons

  • Some features would be good to have from the get go like the use of the calendar

Likelihood to Recommend

I don't think that NAKIVO Backup & Replication have a less appropriate scenario.
But a well suited one is in a environment where you have a lot of virtual machines that are used for production work and if any of it fails you can recovery them to a point in time (retention policy)

The best Support and configuration tools

Rating: 10 out of 10

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use NAKIVO Backup & Replication as our Full Backup Sollutions and MSP. The main problem we resolve with the addition of Nakivo products was the possibility of centralizing all the backups from different platforms in one single place. Including NAS, Windows Servers, Linux, EC2, Vmware, Proxmox and Microsoft365. With NAKIVO Backup & Replication we are able to send differente types of reports of the backup jobs to our clients

Pros

  • Great Customer Service and Support
  • Qnap integration
  • Msp Console
  • Microsoft365 backup

Cons

  • Proxmox backup
  • Disaster recovery for NAS
  • Easy access to all the backups without the need to open the job

Likelihood to Recommend

NAKIVO Backup & Replication is well suited for an IT Company that need to manage all the backups in one single place. Also, it is a excellent sollution for big companys in need of one software that enables the possibility of multiple machines backup and monitoring servers and disaster recovery.
NAKIVO Backup & Replication might not be appropriate for a company that does not have an IT managing the backups

We use NAKIVO Backup & Replication to back up our VPS servers and NAS devices. The UI and features are quite satisfactory with plenty of expansion possibilities. We liked the new MSP feature where you can give specific access to users for specific machines. There are features that we would like to be integrated such as the ability to exclude directories, the creation of an image for bare metal restore as well as the creation of Plesk integration to use NAKIVO Backup & Replication as a Plesk backup tool.

Pros

  • Backup job creation
  • Friendly and easy UI
  • Fast backup completion

Cons

  • Plesk integration
  • Exclude directory from backup job
  • Image backup for bare metal restore

Deployment of NAKIVO Backup & Replication in small and medium-sized enterprises.

Rating: 9 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Our company provides IT support in a number of small and medium-sized companies.

Most of the time it is a single server with virtualization running on VMware or Hyper-V.

We were looking for an affordable but secure and robust backup system for our customers.We chose NAKIVO Backup & Replication deployed on QNAP NAS and we are satisfied.

For us, it's a quick to deploy, easy to configure solution that ensures seamless running of backups and eventual recovery when needed, both of one file or entire virtual machines.

Pros

  • Supports backup for both VMware and Hyper-v
  • Easy deployment
  • Clear user interface
  • Easy data recovery

Cons

  • Availability of updates to new versions from QNAP repositories.

Likelihood to Recommend

Quickly deploy backups for one or more servers on with virtualization on VMware or Hyper-V with storage on a separate NAS ( Synology or QNAP ).
On a new or running solution where you need to migrate to a new type of backup.
Especially if the customer requires the best price/performance ratio.
