NAKIVO Backup & Replication Pricing

Easy to use for VM backup and there are features and on their next release as bare metal recovery.

It has missing capability to check their backup for AV to avoid ransomware

The solution was quick to install, dead simple to use and we had our first backups being run within 20minutes of downloading the trial

Nothing comes to mind, nakivo fits our requirements perfectly

Fast, easy to use, responsive webui, support incremental and differencial backup, built in support chat.

Nothing really. There is no support for signed commercial cert for the webui, but maybe i just dont find it.

As experienced infrastructure engineer, I have used many different backup software in the past. After using NAKIVO on the different platforms and different scenarios I can truly say as NAKIVO providing a complete backup solution for enterprise environment covering virtual and physical infrastructure. NAKIVO backup solution is cost effective, easy and intuitive to use (installation, management, administration) software that also offering great support.

Nothing at all. NAKIVO provide complete backup solution for enterprise environment covering virtual and physical infrastructure.

install, configure and never need to touch again. it works.

nothing that i can think of. it just works.

Ease of setup, ease of administration, and reliability! Not to mention the very reasonable cost and superb email communication with the company.

Our needs were quite specific and we only had a few protected machines. That said, I genuinely don't have anything to enter in this field.

I first tried Nakivo five years ago. It took me less than 10 minutes from starting the setup, to running my first backup. Everything was so intuitive, that there was no need to read any documentation. Very fast recovery at VM and file level. Considering the price, choosing Nakivo was a no-brainer. With each new version, Nakivo gets better and better. New features are added and existing ones are improved.

- Support for tape backup is a bit primitive. - Compression and data deduplication algorithms could be improved. For the same data, vSphere Data Protection (based on EMC Avamar) uses half the repository space.

Other competitors' products are all subscription-based, whereas Nakivo is perpetual and packed with features found in enterprise backup solutions. Nakivo supports Hyper-V and ESXi without additional fees, and the enterprise version of Nakivo allows you to back up desktop workstations, encrypt backups, compress, duplicate, and back up to the cloud (google archive, wasabi, azure, aws.) The UI is simple and straight forward best of all Nakivo assigns a technician to provide you with training without additional costs. The software is intuitive and simple to pick up.

Downloading and applying the correct update for the system. I found it difficult and had to download multiple before landing on the correct update.

Nakivo is an amazing software, flexible and easy to deploy. We use it in a lot of our customers IT infrastructures. The price is affordable for features in a virtual environment. The linux-based environment for the server and the transporters grant availability, efficiency and cost reduction.

Lack of some features, like surebackup with services check. The ETA is not accurate as well as the progress bar. Also the log and history can be improved.

Easy to install and configure, reliable, could be operated by laypeople.

Acqisition is a hassle, not relibale over WAN, no automated License Renewal

This software has been really easy to setup, and once it was setup it just does it thing without me having to keep going back to it. So great to have peace of mind about your backups. It has also saved us a few times by allowing us to run a backup VM directly off the backup!

I can't think of anything off the top of my head, it does all I need it to do.

Easy usability & fast Backp & Recovery, easy use of Tape Librarys, aas well as NAS Storages

new pricing Modell goes near to all other vendors

- We really like being able to create a backup copy from our Windows Backup server to a QNAP NAS for immutable backups over our WAN to another site. - Synthetic full backups make daily backups fast. - I like how fast I can restore a VM to Hyper-V, even if the backup was from Nutanix, and even if the backup storage is on my QNAP NAS.

- SQL Backups on Nutanix do not support hourly log backups like they do on Hyper-V, so we worked around that with an inexpensive tool called "SQL Backup Master". - No support for Microsoft SQL Server yet

Easy to set up and get running. Flexible deployment, with the full solution (i.e. the "brain") running directly on supported NAS hardware, Linux OS, physical or virtual machines. Getting help is as easy as clicking "Request Support" on an error message in the WebUI. A support bundle is created and sent to Nakivo and you very quickly receive an email with a case number, followed by responses from real people.

Better error messages would be nice - they don't always make sense. The "brain", which is the Director component, can only exist in one place in a distributed deployment with different locations. This means that a remote site will not back up if there is a connectivity issue between sites and the Director cannot see the transporter and repositories at the remote site.

I liked how fast it is. Backing up a virtual machine, even offsite and doing it encrypted, is very fast. It is pretty easy to use once you get a feel for how it works. The email alerts are also very helpful, I can leave Nakivo unattended so it just runs on its own and simply monitor my email for alerts on if the jobs were successful or not. Their support is very good as well if you need help.

Updating can be a real hassle. It depends on your environment though, but with me updating my NAS transporter version ended up turning into a much bigger process than I had anticipated. Their support was able to get me up and running again, but still I wish it was easier to update on my own.

Possibility to install it Linux, saving Windows licensing cost. Also, the hot add method to backup is quite fast.

You need to read the documentation beforehand. Once you know how to do things, it's ok.

The best feature in Nakivo is the VM backup. The VM backup is simple to deploy and the maintenance is very little. Nakivo Backup & Replication is very easy to use and configure.

Updates on Nakivo VA can do only via host but not via web GUI and in my case it was very slow. Could you please develop this thing?

It's an elegant combination of Java and Linux with a straightforward web-based interface and it never lets us down. We feel completely comfortable with Nakivo protecting our backups and best of all, it means we don't have to install a load of Windows-based systems that we don't want or need just to run it.

It's not cheap. It does work out slightly more cost effective than Veeam, and the saving of effort and hassle of it being Linux-based was enough justification for us to buy it in the end.

Easy to deploy software, which is suitable for all of our customers. We like the possibility to run it as a downloadable virtual appliance. So, we always have it running in a few minutes. Starting as a solution for backing up virtual infrastructures (vSphere / Hyper-V), it becomes more and more feature complete. Today it has all featured we need for our customers, including physical backup. We really like controlling the software with command-line and API. Integration with our remote monitoring was simple. Also, the sales team always finds good solutions, when there are tricky licensing request from our customers.

There are no real cons to mention. Sometimes we wish, that the logs in the UI would tell more details, when it comes to errors. But we always were able to sort it out.

This software is easy to setup and use. The price is competitive and can be afforded also in very little company or offices (SOHO) assuring security at low cost. The availability of the transporter module with most of NAS system (also SOHO) let the company work also with low cost devices. The option to have a flash VM boot reduces the RTO and the forever incremental backups (very fast) reduces the RPO.

No availability for Citrix XEN and a full screen interface (the calendar would be more readable).

Quite intuitive. Comparably fast backup. Price / performance value is good. Good service.

USB rotation (to external harddrives) definitely needs improvement. Licensing scheme is a bit hard to understand at first glance ... but their sales will help you ;-) A little bit of too aggressive marketing (less would be better).

I like the simple, easy to use interface and responsive support.

I feel like the deduplication feature could be improved upon.

Easy to deploy and configure. We use VMWare for the most of our servers and had some trouble with other backup solutions that cost a fortune, were complicated or horribly expensive.

For the moment none, the product meets our expectations perfectly.

Easy backups and replications that help keep us safe and secure! Ability to store locally and in cloud is a plus

I would like to see more cloud integration with companies like BackBlaze and their B2 storage offerings. Amazon and Wasabi are partner groups, and that is more than enough to work with until then!
