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.

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.

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.
