- Backup to tape
- Network compression and acceleration between datacenters and the ability to deploy local agents at every datacenter with no cost to help speed up backups.
- Locked down linux based server and transporters for the core product. Not having to host this on a windows box that can get compromised as part of a malware attack is a huge benefit.
- SAML MFA.
- Firewall accessible from the GUI to better restrict access to the server and transporters

NAKIVO Backup and Replication
- It offers easy backup management. We use functions like VM replication, backup, backup to cloud and copy jobs to transfer the backups to external media. The last one could use some improvement.
- The user interface is a bit confusing sometimes. If you are dealing with complicated network structures, it can be quite difficult to set up. Connection NAKIVO to AWS, GOOGLE, O365 is not easy.

NAKIVO Backup & Restore continues to set the bar high
- NAKIVO software upgrades are easy and quick.
- NAKIVO has a chat option to contact support immediately within the console.
- Once you create your backups and define your notifications on those backups, you can set it and forget it. Backup emails alert you of any issues so you know when you need to login to the console to check. NAKIVO does not require daily monitoring, although it is good practice to login to the console at least once a week just to check everything.
- Support is eager to assist anytime I have contacted them. If 2nd level support is needed, issues are escalated quickly.
- Backups have the option of "screenshot verification". Screenshot verification doesn't always work for us when our vmtools is out of date. If we are on an older version of VMware and that version of vmtools is up to date, NAKIVO still thinks it is out of date.

NAKIVO Backup & Replication Review
- less Systemrequirements
- easy to Manage
- multiple Platforms
- no local Datastore for Office 365 backups possible?
- easier Way to find the Software (for Registered Partners)
- Please no Questions to speak with our Customers -> We are the trusted Consultants there and most of them dont speak that good English.
- Can be installed natively on nas appliances leveraging the use of underutilized appliances. No need to install the software on Windows or Linux Servers.
- Backup natively Vmware Virtual Machines and File Shares (you need to buy the right license modules).
- Destination storage for backups (or of the backup copies) can be Microsoft shares, Amazon S3, Wasabi, Backblaze and remotely to other sites using their transporter vm.
- To not overload the system with overlapping jobs, they can be chained one after the other.
- Rapid add/remove/reorder priority of vm to backup and their backup archive. Jobs can be easily changed or chained.
- Quick support service
- The file share recover via CIFS should be able to recover files directly into the filesystem (along with security settings) instead of downloading a zip file.
- Currently, backup of File Shares to Amazon S3/Wasabi is not supported.
- Email notifications should have a customizable subject that supports the use of some predefined variables that will be expanded when sending.
- It would also be useful to see on the Backup view of a repository the number of recovery points for each object and the backup type for each row.
- When navigating the Backup view of VM repository and there are several protected virtual machines, you have several pages to navigate to reach a specific vm. However, after entering the detail view of a backup, when you click the "<" on the page, you are returned to the first page of repository instead of being returned to the nth page you were on before.
- On the Backup view of a VM repository, it would be nice to have a tooltip showing the summary data of the backup you are hovering over (or by clicking the hyperlink).
