Overall Satisfaction with NAKIVO Backup & Replication
We have been using NAKIVO Backup & Replication to perform virtualizations and backups of our company's servers for 8 years.
We have several physical servers and, within them, several Virtual ones. To avoid a disaster, we have the same virtual servers on all our physical servers, some in production and others stopped, in such a way that if a server stopped working, we would pick up the ones that are not working at that moment and everything would return to normal in a few minutes. For that, we use NAKIVO Backup & Replication to create the virtualizations of the servers that are working and distribute them in the servers to be able to recover them in case of loss of one of the physical servers. We also carry out virtualizations in case we have a malware or ransomware attack on any of our servers to set up a replica and function again as if we had not had the attack. We use NAKIVO Backup & Replication because it allows us to make these replicas because it also allows us to make retention points to return to a replica made a few hours before or a few days or weeks before the disaster occurred. We also make backups of the servers to have a copy and be able to recover a server or file in a granular way. It is slower than setting up a replica, but it allows us to have them outside the company so that in the event of a physical disaster on the servers, we can recover the system.

Although the first investment in the purchase of the program is high and it is difficult to explain to the accounting department the need for the product, in the long run, it pays for itself, and as it has more and more compliments, we have not decided to change the product, because we already have experience with NAKIVO Backup & Replication and we are doing very well.

Evaluating NAKIVO Backup & Replication and Competitors
- Price
- Product Features
- Product Usability
- Prior Experience with the Product
When we decided to buy this product, I had just taken a VMware course and was not aware of any VMware backup products. I tried Veeam Backup and NAKIVO Backup & Replication, and at that time, NAKIVO Backup & Replication was much easier to use and had the essentials version, which was cheaper than Veeam had.
In principle, I always value the simplicity of use and price. So if I had to go back from scratch, I would do it the same way.
NAKIVO Backup & Replication Implementation
- Implemented in-house
Change management was minimal
- Understanding what a transporter is
NAKIVO Backup & Replication Support
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
Quick Resolution Good followup Knowledgeable team Problems get solved Kept well informed No escalation required Immediate help available Support understands my problem Support cares about my success Quick Initial Response | None |
Essentials Pro because I needed a license for a higher version than the one I had, this was already very old and whenever you buy a license, you have to have one year of support, which seems fine to me.
I could not connect to a NAS, and a technician was teaching me how to configure the NAS so that I would not have problems when creating a repository on it.
He explained to me how I had to do it step by step, we even had problems configuring the NAS (it takes a long time to restart), and he offered to put it in another one that works better so that I could see how the process was carried out.
