Overall Satisfaction with NAKIVO Backup & Replication
After a physical to virtual migration of several machines, I needed good backup software to protect these new VMs. With a smaller infrastructure it didn't make a lot of sense to spend the money on a subscription to Veeam when I could buy a license for a one time fee. Now we have organized daily, and weekly backups that get sent off site as well for DR purposes. Also the email alert is very useful, I get email notifications everything a job completes or fails so I always know what is going on with my backups.

- The dashboard is an eyesore with how it refreshes and flashes.
- Retention periods compared to what the system says I have is confusing.
- Efficient backups
- Very fast
- Peace of mind
- Email notifications
I've tried Veeam and Vembu. I personally liked NAKIVO better because you can do a one time license purchase, which I see as a big advantage over subscription based. Their customer support was also better. I personally found the user interface to be easier to use as well. It also seemed easier to do things like set up additional repositories for something like offsite backups.
