Overall Satisfaction with NAKIVO Backup & Replication
We first considered NAKIVO as a result of a recommendation made by one of our resellers. We needed a robust backup solution primarily for our VMware environment that didn't break the bank. NAKIVO checked almost all of the boxes during our proof of concept, so we decided to move forward with the purchase. NAKIVO is now our primary backup tool for our main campus and our DR site.
Pros
- Seamless integration with VMware.
- Screenshot verification (alternative to traditional verify jobs).
- Competitive pricing.
- It just works (no babysitting needed).
- Native installs for most of the major NAS manufacturers.
Cons
- Screenshot verification stops working if a newer version of VMware tools becomes available.
- No agents for physical servers (looks like that's changing with v9 though).
- No support for S3 compatible storage (if you need to send a copy of your backup to a host that's emulating AWS S3 storage).
- Provides a robust service at an affordable cost.
- Intuitive web interface along with the technology itself provides a path for quick, easy restores.
- Not supporting S3 compatible storage for off-site storage of backups has required us to add an additional piece of software to the workflow.
- Veeam Backup & Replication and Infrascale Platform
NAKIVO does everything that we need it to do at a price point that the competitors couldn't touch.
