NAKIVO Backup & Replication has proven to be a cost-efficient backup solution for VMware systems, offering a range of use cases that cater to different customer needs. Users have found it particularly suitable for migrations and data protection at multiple customer sites. The proprietary change tracking method in NAKIVO has helped save costs by minimizing storage and time required for backups. This has made it an effective tool for replicating virtual servers between different storage area networks, or SANs, in data centers and backing up data across office locations. Additionally, users have leveraged NAKIVO to back up both Windows and Linux virtual machines, including those in sandbox environments.

The software has been praised for its easy installation process, user-friendly interface, and compatibility with different hypervisors. Its immutability feature offers assurance that backups are safe from ransomware encryption, making it a reliable choice for protecting sensitive data and services in healthcare organizations. NAKIVO Backup & Replication also stands out as a dependable option for disaster recovery, providing features for site recovery and orchestration. With its optimization of storage usage through deduplication and compression, users can reduce costs while maintaining data integrity. Overall, NAKIVO Backup & Replication is a versatile solution suitable for businesses of all sizes, offering VMware backup, replication, O365 backup, and physical workstation backup capabilities with ease of configuration and excellent support.

User-Friendly and Cost-Effective Solution: Many users have found NAKIVO to be a user-friendly and cost-effective virtual backup solution. They appreciate the ease of installation, configuration, and setup of backup jobs. Some reviewers mention that NAKIVO's competitive pricing provides good value for the features offered.

Good User Interface: Users have praised the usability of NAKIVO's user interface. They find it simple and easy to use, making backup management and scheduling backups effortless. The web interface is highlighted as being intuitive and user-friendly.

Efficient Technical Support: Reviewers have expressed satisfaction with the technical support provided by NAKIVO. They appreciate the quick and kind responses from the support team, both during the trial period and after purchasing the product.

Confusing User Interface: Many users have found the user interface of the software to be confusing and have experienced a learning curve in getting used to it. They mentioned that navigating the backup view of a VM repository is cumbersome, as clicking the '<' button takes them back to the first page instead of the previous page.

Inefficient Backup Wizard: Some users have suggested streamlining the backup wizard feature to make it more efficient and user-friendly. They also requested customizable subject options for email notifications and the ability to view detailed information such as recovery points and backup types for each object in the repository.

File Share Recovery Improvement: Users have mentioned that the file share recovery feature should be improved as it currently requires downloading a zip file instead of directly recovering files into the filesystem. They also requested a more efficient space reclaim operation to prevent unexpected growth in backup space requirements.

Based on user reviews, the most common recommendations for Nakivo are as follows:

  1. Users suggest considering a different solution like Veeam due to technical problems with Nakivo.

  8. Users advise improving the support team's English skills.
  9. Users appreciate the instant recovery feature and consider Nakivo a great alternative to other VMware backup solutions.

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

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
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 and Cons
  • Backup job creation
  • Friendly and easy UI
  • Fast backup completion

The support team response quick and they are more willing to help than expected no matter what the problem is.

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
Pros and Cons
  • VM Backup
  • VM Replication
  • Anti Ransomware Protection
  • Multiple Backup storage points (blob, local, tape etc)
Likelihood to Recommend
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

NAKIVO Backup & Replication
5 years of experience
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 and Cons
  • Supports backup for both VMware and Hyper-v
  • Easy deployment
  • Clear user interface
  • Easy data recovery
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.

Excellent Backup Solution that doesn't break the Bank!

I've used NAKIVO Backup & Replication for my previous work and was very happy with it and recommended the same to my current job. The administrator approved my request so now I'm using it on our VMware infrastructure to backup/restore VMs. The UI is very easy to use and it works as advertised. We have three Servers and a Synology server where the NAKIVO Backup & Replication is installed. This combination works great for our needs. Really happy with this product and would not hesitate to recommend it to others. And lastly, the price is good!

  • Backing up hypervisor

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
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.
Pros and Cons
  • Easy set up
  • Easy and clean UI
  • Backup/Recovery jobs quick and reliable
Likelihood to Recommend
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).

A great experience with Nakivo

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.
Pros and Cons

  • Ongoing upgrades and updates services
  • implementation of application for disasters and cyber-attacks
Likelihood to Recommend
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.

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.

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.

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.
Pros and Cons
  • Backup in VMware and Hyper-v
  • VM replication
  • Efficient and easy to use
Likelihood to Recommend
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.

Pros and Cons
  • VMWARE VM backups
  • Synthetic or incremental backups
  • Analysis or reporting module works great
  • Backup scheduling also works great
Likelihood to Recommend
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.

2 years of experience
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
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.
Pros and Cons
  • easy deployment
  • easy setup
  • Security
  • Good price
  • Continuous improvements and updates
Likelihood to Recommend
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

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
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.
Pros and Cons
  • Technical Support
  • Product Flexibilty
  • Management Portal Interface
Likelihood to Recommend
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.
Pros and Cons
  • 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.
Likelihood to Recommend
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.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
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.
Pros and Cons
  • Back up offsite
  • Restore
  • Support
  • Notifications
Likelihood to Recommend
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.

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.
Pros and Cons
  • Backup and fast recovery operations.
  • Better storage control.
  • Less work overload.
