Overall Satisfaction with NAKIVO Backup & Replication
We use Nakivo to backup our VM Ware servers. We have a pair of EXSI 6.5 hosts with Dell Datastore and backup our mission-critical systems.
- It was simple to setup
- Simple to administer
- Price is quite good compared to competition
- Data recovery is not always easy. I had to contact support to help recover some deleted files. (we did recover everything)
- When a VM is down it would be nice to have phone support.
- We had a bug that accidentally overwrote a huge section of our DB the live restore failed however, we spun it up and were able to download the DB, extract the needed section and restore it to the db.
- Having a different data backup store from my snapshots store allows some piece of mind knowing that it would take 2 sets of disk failures to cause a data loss.
We evaluated at pricing on other options but most were cost prohibitive. The pricing of Nakivo allowed us to bring backups into our business processes.
