Easy to use and deploy
We start using NAKIVO for Backup and data Replication as one of many solutions for our own data and our clients. We offer data resilience to our clients and NAKIVO helps us to guarantee this. Is very easy to deploy and you can learn how to use very quick.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Simply, low cost solution.
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.

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.
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.
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.

Awesome Backup App and a Worthy One for its UI!
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.

NAKIVO Backup & Replication & Synology partner well

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.

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.

NAKIVO Backup & Replication
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.

Best MSP-Backup solution!
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.

A great choice for backing up VMs
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.

I'm using NAKIVO Backup & Replication to backup all my server and my office 365.It is very simple to use but also very strong and reliable.
