NAKIVO Backup & Replication

Pros: I’ve been testing out NAKIVO lately, and honestly, it’s probably the only backup solution I’ve found that gives you full web-based management from start to finish. You can do everything - setup, scheduling, recovery, and monitoring - straight from the browser. I couldn’t find anything close to that in the open-source world. It’s also super easy to maintain and troubleshoot. The logs are clear and detailed, and the docs actually make sense (which is rare). I had a working backup for my Linux server in under five minutes, even without knowing the product beforehand - that’s how straightforward it is.

Cons: The only downside is the price, which can feel a bit steep if you’re just using it for a home lab. But considering how solid and long-term the solution is, I’d say it’s totally worth paying a bit more for peace of mind and ease of use.

Pros: Reliable, straightforward, and "cost-effective." Deployment was simple, the interface is clean, and backup jobs are easy to manage. It gives us solid protection without unnecessary complexity. Customer support has been great!

Cons: I would like to see a better scheduling interface or options. Also, monitoring for Hyper V environment which is the only reason I don't give 5 stars ;-)

Pros: What I like most about NAKIVO Backup & Replication is its ease of use and reliability. The interface is simple to manage, backups run smoothly, and the support team is very responsive. It also offers great value for money compared to other solutions.

Cons: Nothing specific to mention. Overall, I’m happy with all the features, performance, and reliability of the product.

Pros: What I like most about Nakivo is how simple and efficient it es to manage VMware vSphere backups. The web-bassed interface is very intuitive, and setup takes only a few minutes

Cons: What I liked least about Nakivo is the limited reporting and alert customization. The system gives useful information, but it could offer more detailed insights and flexible filters

Pros: Can be hosted in TrueNas which is useful as a separate VM (jail in BSD) ; so target for backups is separate device with the nakivo hosted on it

Cons: Sometimes error messages dont help such as "Internal error" when a VM back up job fails. It would be more useful if all errors encountered with a vm backup job gave meaningful messages

Pros: Lo fácil que es usar la herramienta y el soporte es muy bueno, en realidad el producto cumplo con lo que ofrece de una manera muy eficiente.

Cons: Por el tiempo que llevamos usándolo, de momento no se tiene punto negativo, la herramienta tiene un buen potencial y utilidades que empresas pequeñas y medianas les ayudará a tener respaldos a un costo moderado

Pros: Las cosas que más me han gustado de Nakivo son: Su Curva de Aprendizaje, el Soporte ya que hemos tenido un acompañamiento muy bueno y se ha tenido muy buena atención, también me gusta mucho la Interfaz de Usuario

Cons: De momento todo me gusta, sería interesante poder tener la opción de pausar el backup y luego poder reanudarlo.

Pros: NAKIVO Backup & Replication is very easy to use and has a clean interface. The support team is very responsive — they even provide remote assistance when needed. It also supports immutable backups, and the VM backup compression works really well, saving a lot of storage space.

Cons: So far, I haven’t found any major issues. However, it would be great if the real-time replication setup process could be simplified even more for new users. Also, when the backup folders are encrypted, it becomes difficult to identify which VM each folder belongs to.

Pros: Nakivo Backup and Replication is easy to implement, has a friendly user interface and it is easy to use.

Cons: I would like the Nakivo team to explore backing up or replicating supporting platforms such as the IBM AIX servers

Pros: Works for years without any problem. Support is always reachable and reacts fast. Transporters for many systems are available, great for our structure, where the backup storage is directly connected to a single server and not in the same network as our virtualisation machines.

Cons: Make it easier to restore single files from Linux machines, it does not support direct downloads on the web GUI when source is ext4.

Pros: Unmatched Simplicity, Speed and Reliability, Exceptional Customer Support, Ease of Deployment & Management

Cons: UI Modernization, admin console experience is great, easy to navigate but the design itself is outdated.

Pros: I liked NAKIVO Backup & Replication most for its simplicity and efficiency, with a clean, intuitive web interface, flexible deployment options (NAS, Linux, Windows, or virtual appliance), application-aware backups for SQL, Exchange, and Active Directory, instant VM recovery, granular restores, and robust features like immutable repositories, encryption, and global deduplication that ensure fast, reliable, and secure data protection.

Cons: What I liked least about NAKIVO Backup & Replication is that some advanced features require higher license editions, reporting and monitoring are limited, and complex deployments may need more guidance.

Pros: Easy to set up and very user-friendly. The interface is intuitive, and managing backups and replication tasks doesn’t require much training. It works reliably and gives peace of mind that our data is secure.

Cons: Reporting options could be a bit more detailed out of the box, and the web interface sometimes feels slightly slow with larger environments.

Pros: This product was very easy to setup, the support I got was also quick and no AI bots to talk to. I always prefer working with companies that use live agents.

Cons: I wish it was a none web page for the panel. Not a big deal though. I would also suggest more explanation on certain features. Again, not a deal breaker.

Pros: Credo che venendo valutato nella mia carriera diversi sistemi di backup coniughi semplicità velocità e granularità dei backup

Cons: Edit Job sul 365 se tolgo la licenza all'utente a volte mi resta in errore, bisogna riassegnarla per poi ricreare il job

Pros: Interfaz intuitiva y fácil de usar al igual que la relación costo-beneficio Comparado con otras soluciones, ofrece gran cantidad de funciones a un precio competitivo.

Cons: Problema: Aunque tiene agentes para Windows y Linux, la gestión centralizada, el reporting y las opciones de recuperación para servidores físicos no son tan robustas como las de sus competidores ej: Veeam Agent Management, Acronis

Pros: Our company has used Nakivo as its backup solution for over seven years. From the beginning, I have appreciated how simple and intuitive the software is to use. I practically never needed to read the documentation to perform basic backup or restore operations. The online help for advanced features is very well organized and descriptive. Microsoft 365 and Proxmox support are among the most important of multiple features added over the years.

Cons: - Backup to tape is slower than other available solutions, which is why it is not a viable option for us. - There were a couple of minor glitches, but they weren't significant enough to contact support.

Pros: Intuitive UI, easy to deploy and manage. Very competitive Pricing compared to equivalent solutions from VEEAM and Druva. Reliable Backups across platforms. Robust security (immutability enabled/installed within onboard repository but can also be deployed to other repositories. Very easy integration with Hardware Deduplication platforms (Dell PowerProtect DD & HPE StoreOnce). Can be deployed to NAS system , VMware Virtual Appliance, Windows and Linux. It has a broad interoperability support on Windows and linux distributions. I also love that same console can be used for Infrastructure Backup and Microsoft 365 Backup.

Cons: I can't find something to state here because everything run smoothly and without errors or misconfigurations. Of course new features are needed to be fully comparable to other equivalent solutions.

Pros: It offers excellent user-friendliness, a clean and intuitive user interface, is easy to manage and maintain, packed with useful features, and remains cost-effective, making it a great overall choice.

Cons: At the moment, I don’t have any additional points as everything I can think of is already included as a feature.

Pros: Perpetual licence is a feature I like. The product supports all my backup requirements. Product support to date has been excellent

Cons: The user interface is not very intuitive. It took a session with product support to get used to the terminology.

Pros: Nichts, geht immer wieder kaputt. Leider funktioniert die Software keine zwei Monate am Stück. Jede andere Software ist besser.

Cons: Geht immer wieder kaputt. Immer wieder geht irgendwas kaputt. Es funktioniert nie mal ein paar Monate am Stück. Es ist eine Immer-Kaputt-Backup-Lösung, das Gegenteil von Set-and-Forget.

Pros: Backup & Data security, Encryption. console is very good for understanding about each and everything about Nakivo in one page. Microsoft office data also we can take backup with security.

Cons: take time in renewal because we have to do it fast because of this process client can lost data of renewal period. so need to take care about this.

Pros: An important feature is that the application can be installed on NAS devices (I use Synology), which is quite rare. This gives the possibility of completely separating the Backup infrastructure from the production infrastructure that we are securing.

Cons: It sometimes has hiccups (hangs a little bit), which slightly reduces the user experience. But we don't log into backup software every day - we expect it to work stably in the background - which it does.
