We implemented Nakivo as backup solution for our vmware infrastructure. We were looking for an easy, cheap and powerfull product.Nakivo has got all these characteristics.
We wanted a solution that permits us to have a sort of "black box" against the ransomwares, so we directly installed it on our QNAP NAS. We also use it to backup some physical machines we have and everything is easily manageable from the same dashboard.
  • Easy set up
  • Easy and clean UI
  • Backup/Recovery jobs quick and reliable
  • Log section is poor
We use Nakivo mainly for our Vmware infrastructure (1 host - around 15 VMs). We also use Nakivo for some physical machines we have (Win 11 and Win server 2019). Everything is managed on the same dashboard and it's very easy to deploy the agent from the dashboard to new machines (virtual and physical).

In the company we use Nakivo Backup & Replication as our backup system for our most important systems and databases such as the backup of our virtual servers and data security. It helps us commercially to be constantly in production day by day, so by maintaining this backup system we ensure that we can get our systems up and running again in the shortest time possible in the event of a disaster, be it a cyber attack or a natural disaster. In this way we avoid having economic requests or delays with the service of our clients since we are a company of tourist services.
  • Daily and constant system backup
  • Ongoing upgrades and updates services
  • implementation of application for disasters and cyber-attacks
  • Basically the tools we use meet our objectives
  • The communication is very good but we would also like to have Spanish speakers.
Based on our experience using the tool, it has covered all our needs with respect to our systems and daily backup scheduling which ensures that we can respond in a timely manner in the event of an emergency. Nakivo's system is very reliable and user friendly and facilitates the processes of implementing and securing the systems that the company keeps in operation.

A simple, low-cost and effective solution for backing up entire virtual machines.We have implemented the solution for several dozen clients. The software is very flexible becouse we can install it on the NAS or as a machine on host, which makes it adaptable to the client.
  • Simple to contact with support staff.
  • Large knowledge base.
  • Simple and concise reports.
  • Collaboration between QNAP and NAKIVO; delayed updates.
  • Problem with transfering configuration between versions.
  • Discontinuation of the"Basic" license for small/single customers.
Nice solution: Backup of entire virtual machines and restoring them on a new physical server.

NAKIVO was implemented in my company in 2017. I was able to get a long-range view of how the support service works, the maintenance of the program, the vision for the future, and I certainly still remain very satisfied with the initial choice to purchase the product for my company.
  • Easy to install
  • Support
  • Easy to use
  • None observed so far
I don't think there is a scenario in which NAKIVO is less appropriate as a B&R software than even more emblazoned and famous ones. Maybe it just needs to improve in marketing because certainly as software it is very good. Customer support is definitely one of the reasons to choose it.

We've used NAKIVO for a number of years and we've always been happy with the product. They're constantly adding new useful features with responsive support. We've used other similar reputable products and we've found that the ease of use that NAKIVO provides is what keeps us with them. I would highly recommend this and have recommended it to peers when they're looking for a reliable backup solution for a Virtual environment.
  • Very responsive with support when we've needed it most.
  • Great features at the price point.
  • Always adding features, and keeping with trends.
  • Some features are available for VMWare and not for HyperV. I suspect that's more to do with the architecture of the hosts though.
NAKIVO is great in mixed Physical/Virtual environments. It provides a number of ways to backup and replicate your data.

NAKIVO Backup & Replication is a very complete and versatile product, of great value to companies due to its great contribution to information security. Because of its ease of use, administrators can quickly perform full or partial backups and restores, or create scheduled tasks. In our case, we make backup copies of our virtual infrastructure with scheduled tasks that can be easily monitored. The immutable repository option and the integration of cloud backups with specialized providers are a perfect ally to keep information safe, in case of a cyber attack (Ransomware type), and even disasters.
  • Backup in VMware and Hyper-v
  • VM replication
  • Efficient and easy to use
  • Some improvements in the graphical environment, it is intuitive but make it more friendly.
We were looking for a backup product for ourselves and our clients, different from the well-known traditional ones widely mentioned in the market, that allows us to manage backups efficiently, that allows rapid learning of its use, at an affordable cost. and just. We carried out several tests in various scenarios, physical and virtualized, then, through the corresponding evaluations, we were convinced that NAKIVO Backup & Replication is the ideal product to keep information safe.

NAKIVO Backup & Replication has an awesome administration console. It is easy to configure, and it gives very rich performance when the tasks or jobs run. It has a good approach to expanding the backup destination. we had evaluated for at least a month or so and found this one and another product are almost similar but NAKIVO Backup & Replication stands out when the UI comes. It takes only a few minutes to set up then it has the feature to copy backup offsites, such as AWS s3, Azure storage, or BlackBlaze, etc. With less than 50 VMs, it requires just the inbuilt transporter but for more an additional transporter can be easily added quickly from the console itself. Licensing also looks really transparent and easy to apply.

  • VMWARE VM backups
  • Synthetic or incremental backups
  • Analysis or reporting module works great
  • Backup scheduling also works great
  • It doesn't support SAML integration for user authentication
When we evaluated NAKIVO Backup & Replication, it suited well for our landscape, and I would recommend you evaluate it well before finalizing your decision. I appreciate the way it is built so that we have some confidence in our data, which is backed up every day. Extending the Backup Repository is just a click away and all happens pretty well/quickly.

We use NAKIVO Backup & Replication to protect our virtualization environment in Microsoft Hyper-V and to backup Microsoft 365.

  • Works on several Operating Systems
  • Good Schedule to manage Jobs
  • Very user-friendly console
  • Backup for Google Workspace
  • Backup Microsoft Dynamics 365
As NAKIVO Backup & Replication runs on several operating systems and on the major brands of NAS systems, NAKIVO Backup & Replication is adequate for most scenarios, for specific database backup is more adequated use a dedicated Backup solution for the type of database in question.

I use Nakivo to back up all cloud solutions of this company. We didn't have a good platform that allowed us to integrate different sources with an easy job scheduler, but we found a great system in Nakivo with multiple features and integrations to cover our needs.
  • Job scheduling planner
  • Integrations with principal cloud systems
  • Faster implementation
  • Great technical support

We use it for Office 365 backup & Restore and compared to our previous offering it is much better value. We have taken the decision in view of Ransomware to keep our data in an onsite Raid array that is controlled by IT and is not accessible to anyone else.
  • Easy menu's
  • Restore is very easy and quick
  • Backup is easy to setup and runs without user intervention
  • Only single use at the moment, so only able to setup one backup device
Great product but needs extra features such as S3 support for Office 365

After a client acquired a Synology NAS, we learned about Nakivo's product, which in addition to offering us everything that Veeam offered, was cheaper and we could run it from the NAS itself, where we planned to store the information. This meant eliminating a server with the costs that this entails (operating system and protection licenses, electricity consumption, etc.). In addition to being cheaper, it simplified production start-up and management because it was very intuitive. So far, we have not suffered any loss of information, which is the most critical aspect of this service. The constant development and continuous improvements of the product are also attractive to us. In short, Nakivo is a Backup utility that can compete perfectly with the best-known applications deployed in large multinationals (you have to check compatibility with the infrastructure), but also, thanks to its prices, it is affordable for any type of business; both small and medium-sized companies, putting within reach of an SME, the security with which any multinational could work.
  • easy deployment
  • easy setup
  • Security
  • Good price
  • Continuous improvements and updates
  • Spanish Support
  • From the repository view, display the type of copy of each node (full or incremental)
I have only tested it on small or medium clients and with disk storage pools. I can't say how it would work with tape robots or virtual libraries. In the installations carried out in PYMES, the result so far has always been satisfactory. In the installations carried out in SMEs, the result so far has always been satisfactory. In addition, the inclusion of new features such as Bare metal restore, increase the value of the product continuously

Our company had been using various products for our clients to create a solid backup and disaster recovery platform and wanted to consolidate our data management tools into a single platform. The market for those tools has been evolving over the years in PC/Server platforms. Our expertise dates from 1973 and IBM mainframes and as such we have high standards for best practices in data management. The attributes that we use to judge a product are data security, data integrity, flexibility, interface usability, technical support and cost . We started using Nakivo several years ago when searching for a product and company that met those criteria for our clients VMware infrastructure.

Nakivo meets our overall criteria and exceeds them with their technical support. Having been in the industry since 1973 we have never seen such responsive and competent technical support. We have had few issues over the last few years and most have been resolved within a day. They have always responded to the support request tickets within a couple of hours and continue a fast response until the issue is resolved.

They have also continued to increase the flexibility of their products. We have begun to use their physical machine product which is fully integrated with their management platform. This will give our company and clients a single interface for data backup and disaster recovery. The product management portal is very comprehensive and intuitive . The online help documentation is also excellent. The experience to date with the physical machine support has been very positive.

Overall we are pleased with the cost even though they are not the lowest cost vendor but neither are they the highest cost. Based on all of the criteria we feel that they are the most cost effective solution in the market today.
  • Technical Support
  • Product Flexibilty
  • Management Portal Interface
  • Reseller Portal could use some work, but has been improving
It is reaching the point where both VM and physical machine environments are being covered with single cost effective tool.

We are using NAKIVO as MSP for mostly smb-customers. We use the director-service in multi-tenancy-mode and have at least one transporter on every customer site. We are backing up VMWare Servers and MS365 tenants.
  • The multi-tenant console is very valuable, because it makes our workflow easier.
  • We can also configure every backup from one central website, which is very nice.
  • Deployment of transporters is also very quick, so the full backup solution is set up very fast.
  • NAKIVO support is also very nice, 24/7 available and it is wonderful to work together on an issue.
  • Proxmox support would be nice for smb and smaller customers.
NAKIVO is very well suited for every customer from small multi-workplace smb's to bigger companys.
You can use NAKIVO as MSP and use it's multi-tenant features, or use it as in-house-IT for the whole company and every site.

After a physical to virtual migration of several machines, I needed good backup software to protect these new VMs. With a smaller infrastructure it didn't make a lot of sense to spend the money on a subscription to Veeam when I could buy a license for a one time fee. Now we have organized daily, and weekly backups that get sent off site as well for DR purposes. Also the email alert is very useful, I get email notifications everything a job completes or fails so I always know what is going on with my backups.
  • Back up offsite
  • Restore
  • Support
  • Notifications
  • The dashboard is an eyesore with how it refreshes and flashes.
  • Retention periods compared to what the system says I have is confusing.
It's an excellent solution to backup and restore VMs. The speed of the backups is very impressive, even sending them offsite. It can do everything you need including bare metal recovery to different hardware, which is great. In my scenario I wanted onsite backups to a nas, which also copied to a portable hard drive, and I also wanted offsite backups to an external repository. Once setup, I just let it run and check the email alerts to see if anything failed. I have a simple infrastructure, but it works well.

We use NAKIVO Backup & Replication to create backups of our Windows and Linux machines within a VMWare VSphere surrounding. We are producing and working with a lot of data and NAKIVO gives us a save feeling, because we have a Backup we can trust. Easy use and quick recovery are very important.
  • Easy to Use
  • Simple web GUI
  • Runs on different Systems
  • Backing up linux and Windows machines
  • A little bit more information in the manual about using and installing transporters
it is very easy to recover individual files from the Backup. This is the case we use NAKIVO Backup & Replication the most. We also recovered a broken VM Ware machine from the last Backup. This was quite easy and worked fine.

A software easy to configure and use. A product that fulfills its purpose, backing up the servers and replicating. The settings are very simple steps to follow, understand and configure to your liking, you don't even need a manual to access it. Make the Backups quickly and if you need to restore the virtual ones, it does it in the same way. The user interface is easy to use and apparently in the most recent version it is very user friendly. My experience: It has saved me more than once, I have my servers always backed up and I don't have to worry about any failure within it. The support is fast and they always keep you informed 10/10.
  • Backup and fast recovery operations.
  • Better storage control.
  • Less work overload.
  • some updates are not performed automatically

NAKIVO Backup & Replication is well suited for a variety of scenarios. Firstly, it is ideal for businesses with virtualized environments, such as VMware or Hyper-V, as it offers seamless backup and recovery solutions tailored to these platforms. Secondly, organizations with a mix of virtual, physical, and cloud environments can benefit from NAKIVO's ability to provide unified data protection across these platforms.

We use it to backup our entire ESXi servers datacenter as well as our physical servers and CIFS folders across 10 branches. We also use it to backup office 365 data. In addition to those we use NAKIVO Backup & Replication to replicate our VMs in our disaster recovery continuously as well as to perform test regularly for failover scenarios. We also use it as an monitoring system for our infrastructure like is a VMServer has an outage we are getting alerted by NAKIVO Backup & Replication mail. Finally NAKIVO Backup & Replication helped us having a good picture of our backup strategy
  • VM Backup
  • VM Replication
  • Anti Ransomware Protection
  • Multiple Backup storage points (blob, local, tape etc)
  • Monitoring
  • More Integrations with alerting
  • More flexible schedule
  • Ability to keep specific backups based on dates
Where NAKIVO Backup & Replication Shines is on Daily backup schedule with copying to different locations. If you want to implement a 3-2-1-1 backup strategy plan (Local - Copy to DR - Copy to Tape - Copy to Cloud). It is also strong on failover scenarios (Main site to DR Site) Now it could have a better backup planning schedule, more flexible like option to run this backup every 7 minutes and also the ability to keep specific date backups. Also the alerting is far behind other vendors

We had a data loss in 2018, so we hired NAKIVO, and it run a daily backup of our servers, and it notifies us if the backups were made correct or not. We do not use 100% of the application
  • Good Backups
  • Give you information in real time
  • Using 100% for the app

✅ - Perfect
  1. We find that it works perfectly with Virtualized Environments: NAKIVO Backup & Replication is well-suited for virtualized environments, such as VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V, and Nutanix AHV. It provides efficient VM backup and replication, with features like incremental backups and global deduplication, optimizing storage usage and minimizing backup windows.
  2. Similar to us NAKIVO is better suited for Small to Medium-Sized Businesses: NAKIVO Backup & Replication is an excellent choice for small to medium-sized businesses that require a cost-effective yet comprehensive data protection solution. It offers a user-friendly interface, easy deployment, and affordable licensing options.
❌ - Not Great
  1. However with our Experience we feel that NAKIVO is not suited for Highly Transactional Systems: In scenarios where you have highly transactional systems with strict recovery point objectives (RPOs) and recovery time objectives (RTOs), you may require specialized backup solutions tailored for such demanding environments.
