NAKIVO: Cost-Effective and Reliable Backup Solution

I have been using Nakivo for approximately 6 years. The Nakivo system interface is user-friendly and quick to learn, it has good features for example efficient backups, good encryption and fast recoveries. Nakivo has increased our data protection and reduced downtime. The only area that might need some improvement is reporting, but overall, the system performance, cost-effectiveness and included features makes it the best solution for our backup requirements.
Pros
Nakivo's user-friendly interface and simplicity are the biggest highlights. It streamlines our backup management with quick setup, efficient incremental backups, and instant recovery, while keeping the impact on our system low. It is very cost effective, and the robust data protection makes it a great choice for small to medium businesses.
Cons
I think the main downside is the limited customization in reporting, which could be more detailed and flexible. Expanding support for a wider range of platforms would also benefit the product.
Reasons for Switching to NAKIVO Backup & Replication
We chose Nakivo because it offers great value for the price, is easy to use, and provides essential features. Compared to alternatives, it met our needs with low resource usage and simpler management, making it a great fit for our requirements.- Industry: Information Technology & Services

The performance has been consistently solid, with minimal resource drain during backup windows.

NAKIVO helped me in the event of a host failure as well as damage to the virtual machines. In these cases, a previously prepared backup helped.
Pros
The most important thing is the reliability of this tool. It has saved me several times in my work.
Cons
I don't see any disadvantages of NAKIVO. For me it would be easier to have backups in the form of easily transferable files than a complicated repository, but of course I appreciate functionality and reliability above all.

The backup job feature is my favorite. Creating, editing and restoring jobs is no problem at all.
Pros
Nakivo is a very user-friendly backup solution. Installation is no problem for a reasonably trained system administrator. The use is more or less self-explanatory, but of course there is also a very good manual and an equally good knowledge base that leaves nothing to be desired. The support, which I have only had to use once in five years, is also very competent.
Cons
There is really nothing which i do not like.

Pros
It is running under linux, therefore you can deploy it really fast. The Director and Transporter paradigm makes it convinient to set up in different environments, from air gapped clusters, to edge servers and more.
Cons
It does not support RBD as a storage repository out of the box, I am still waiting on that option to be available.
