• NAKIVO foremost is good value for money. We found the licensing of Veeam prohibitive and looked for another solution. We've been using NAKIVO for over 4 years now and it does everything we need it to and more.
• Administration is easy. All via a web browser. No clients need to be installed and we can access the information from any of our networked PCs and Chromebooks.
• It is constantly improving. When we first purchased it, it only worked with VMware to local storage but now it works with Hyper-V and can backup to the cloud. It ensures our backup software is compatible if we make any changes in the future.

• You can find local resources but you cannot search the network globally. You have to input an IP/DNS name to search. Whereas in the previous version 11.7, you could search and find locations without having to use these references.
• The interface is somewhat slow to load
• The licensing is very difficult to navigate if you are using Acronis in different locations because you have to have a controller on different subnets and you can't sync the licensing across the network
• Also, keeping track of what the computer is using what license if you have not added to the management controller is difficult.
• My biggest issue with Acronis Backup Advanced 12.5 is if the hard drive on your machine starts to fail you cannot run the software to back up the machine. I spent a lot of time with support with just this issue and they could do nothing until I replaced the hard drive but at that point, I could not run a backup so I had to use the oldest backup I had.

• When moving VMs to a new host we sometimes have to manually refresh the storage but it's not a major issue.
• Repository self-healing and reclaiming used space can sometimes take a while.
• Support is initially only by email so you may have to wait for a response. Support are very helpful and knowledgeable though.

• Great, easy to use backup solution for small to medium businesses
• Can be cumbersome for management with complex deployments
• Requires physical interaction to swap media and obtain offsite backups (unless sending data offsite is an option)

• Positive impact on reducing licensing costs. Especially important for schools at the moment because of limited funding.
