Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Actually we were looking for a more cost effective solution than the current one we use. Also another factor was to consolidate within one platform Virtual infrastructure backup and backup for Microsoft Office 365. We looking also for more deployment flexibility which is something that is offered by NAKIVO Backup & Replication solution.
Pros
- Easy to deploy and manage
- Very competitive pricing compared to equivalent solutions from VEEAM and Druva
Cons
- MAC OS Support.
- Monitoring additionally of other hypervisors like Hyper-V and Proxmox.

- It would be nice at least for me to see smaller intervals which makes the monitoring more realistic.

- Less people to administer since it includes backup for MS365 also
- Less cost so our ROI has been achieved within 6 months of operation
- Deployment flexibility was a significant factor for selecting NAKIVO Backup & Replication
