Overall Satisfaction with NAKIVO Backup & Replication

We use Nakivo to backup our virtualized infrastructure (production & test environments).It backups hundred of VM. We have multiple data centers and went with Nakivo to complete our solutions and in order to replace an existing one which is costly. It is really interesting because it covers mixed virtualized infrastructure (VMware, Nutanix, Hyper-V), bare-metal, office365, Oracle... So it will be a good investment.
  • Very easy and fast deployment
  • Full web, Windows is an option (full Linux compliant), various deployment modes (preconfigured with an .ova, vhd...)
  • Rock solid
  • More features than others for a best price
  • Difficult to find one... Built-in compatibility with Exagrid API for dedupe? But I think they have an exclusive partnership with a concurrent
  • Lower price than others and more functionnality
  • No much work to implement
  • Performance is really good
I rate 10 but for the moment, no need for support [...]

Nakivo Backup & Replication is the easiest backup solution to deploy that I have experienced. It is efficient, fast, with dashboards and the integrated verification of backups via screenshot which is a good idea. The solution has excellent performance and covers the needs of a company quite broadly, regardless of its use cases. In the future, to complete, it would be interesting to offer the backup of containers (LXC, Kubernetes...) but maybe it's already in the roadmap?
The software is very simple to use and deploy. Good dashboards and reporting too. You can schedule your job through a real calendar so it is perfect to visualize the jobs schedule. As it can be full Linux / Web, you do not need any supplementary license. If you have a maximum of 6 sockets to cover you can go with the enterprise essential version. If you don't know Nakivo you can do a trial [that] is perfect to test all things you can do with it (backup, replication, disaster recovery scenarios, tapes...) Very satisfied.
