Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We did manual backup of our VM's before - NAKIVO Backup & Replication was a cheap alternative to this, and do it all for us now. Furthermore, we have used disaster recovery a few times, and it worked like a charm, and saved us money and time.

We have used the software so much that we became partner and certified.

We use the multi-tenancy very much as well, so we can manage multiple customers from one site - that makes it much easier to see if all backups has been run without errors, and setting up multiple jobs from one site, so that we don't need VPN and such for configuring customers sites. All in all, NAKIVO Backup & Replication helped us save a lot of time.

Pros and Cons

Likelihood to Recommend

If you don't want to use a lot of money each year on BACKUP software, and just want something that works out of the box, and is easy to install, then choose NAKIVO Backup & Replication. Furthermore, I think that NAKIVO Backup & Replication is easy to manage also - and even if you are not IT-department, and is single company with own datacenter it is easy to manage your backups and restore - there are a lot of advanced features in NAKIVO Backup & Replication but all in all you don't have to use them for single backups, and restores. If you have problems they also have a very good support staff, that's not afraid to join a session with you helping with backup or restore or setup - or whatever problem it might be. We had some issues with snapshot taking on our VMware that NAKIVO uses - NAKIVO fixed it with a live session, even though they don't have anything to do with our VMware.
