Overall Satisfaction with NAKIVO Backup & Replication
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.
Pros
- easy deployment
- easy setup
- Security
- Good price
- Continuous improvements and updates
Cons
- Spanish Support
- From the repository view, display the type of copy of each node (full or incremental)
- Backup Immutability
- Replication
- Multi-Tenant Mode
- Cloud Backup
- Bare Metal restore
- Cost savings
- Easy management
- Distributed with NAS systems (Synology, Qnap, etc.)
- Dell EMC Networker, Tivoli Storage Manager, Veeam Backup & Replication and Acronis Advanced Backup
It is a product that contains most of the features of its large competitors but at an affordable price for small businesses.In addition the support is very good even if they only have support in English. Another important factor is its compatibility with NAS devices, which makes deployment greatly simplified.

NAKIVO Backup & Replication Feature Ratings
Using NAKIVO Backup & Replication
5 - Some are users and others are technical profiles such as administrators. The management is carried out by computer technicians, but copies are made of both the servers and the client positions of the users, so in the end it is used by every company. In the event that a user requires a recovery, he requests it from the computer technician.
2 - No particular skill is necessary. Any microcomputer technician can learn how to manage Nakivo in a single day. It is easy to deploy the solution on NAS systems or Windows / Linux servers and manage copies and restore from the control panel accessible by HTTPS. Even retrieving the Nakivo server configuration is easy, as it can be maintained in all defined repositories.
- Physical Server Backup
- Desktop Backup
- Virtual server Backup
- Data Immutability of data
- Local repositories Duplication in the Wasabi cloud
- In the future We may deploy Nakivo using an IBM TS7700e tape virtualizer
