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.

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.
