  ### 2. Fantastic product! Easy, Fast, Simple and effective

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Ulrich J. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 18, 2018

**What do you like best about NAKIVO Backup & Replication?**

Awsome product, Easy, Fast, Affordable
Easy - We got the software up and running within minutes.
Simple management - It took me about an hour to set up 50 backup jobs.
Fast - 24 hours later, everything was backed up.
Good compression: 11TB data takes up only about 7.5TB of space. We have enabled de-duplication and fast compression.
Unofficially supports backup of ESXi 6.7

**What do you dislike about NAKIVO Backup & Replication?**

No storage stats for backup jobs and groups (source storage size, backed-up storage size, retention size)
No backup of physical machines
No Office365 backup

**Recommendations to others considering NAKIVO Backup & Replication:**

Just try it, it is highly recommended to run a trial.
Since it only take 10-15 minutes to download, install, configure and setup a backup job, there is no reason not to try it out.

**What problems is NAKIVO Backup & Replication solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It started with the need for backup of ESXi 6.7, which most other vendors could not at the time.
Then when we tried the software, it was so much easier, simpler and faster than the other software we have tried before.

  ### 3. Excellent product, handled our environment without a hitch.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Justin M. | Engineering Manager, Information Technology and Services, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 05, 2018

**What do you like best about NAKIVO Backup & Replication?**

We use a QNAP NAS to host our virtual environment data.  We found that NAKIVO was a featured app in the QNAP App Store.  After installing the app, the NAKIVO software was a breeze to navigate through and begin taking backups.  The restoration of our virtual guests was just as easy as taking the backups as well.  Very satisfied with the product, 5 stars!

**What do you dislike about NAKIVO Backup & Replication?**

Only limited to one user account in our test environment, would like more granularity in user access for audit/logging purposes.

**What problems is NAKIVO Backup & Replication solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We are solving resiliency and redundancy of our environment.  Realized immense benefits when one host server was swapped for a replacement and our environment came back online.

  ### 4. Very good solution in reasonable price! 

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Robert G. | Mr, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 24, 2019

**What do you like best about NAKIVO Backup & Replication?**

As for me, the simplicity of implementation, clear interface, speed of operation and good data compression. It can be installed on many platforms, including using NAS servers (QNAP). It's great solution!

**What do you dislike about NAKIVO Backup & Replication?**

In the whole solution  the weakest point is the lack of support for backup  of  physical servers.
I'm waiting impatiently for this! :)

**What problems is NAKIVO Backup & Replication solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Nakivo is a very good solution that allows you to raise the level of security even in the smallest companies due to the reasonable price!

  ### 5. Fast and Lightweight - Easy to setup

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Alexander H. | Senior Systems Administrator, Staffing and Recruiting, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 14, 2018

**What do you like best about NAKIVO Backup & Replication?**

The ease of setup. Nakivo Backup and Recovery is pretty much ready to go right out of the box. I've installed this on both a Windows platform and a Synology platform. It works very well on both. Install it, add inventory, create jobs and you're up and running in no time. 

**What do you dislike about NAKIVO Backup & Replication?**

Nothing at this time. Nakivo is an easy to use, off the shelf backup application that is cost effective. I have not run into anything at this time that would be off putting.  

**Recommendations to others considering NAKIVO Backup & Replication:**

Definitely take a serious look at Nakivo. They are certainly an up and comer in the backup field. They will save you a bundle over others. 

**What problems is NAKIVO Backup & Replication solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Nakivo Backup and Recovery is a cost effective backup solution that literally just works. VM backups are easy to setup. Being able to backup all my VMs and not have it cost me an arm and a leg is fantastic.

  ### 6. Best "Bang for the buck" VM backup I have worked with

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Martin J. | IT Operations Manager, Information Technology and Services, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 12, 2018

**What do you like best about NAKIVO Backup & Replication?**

I have been using Nakivo for about 3 years on several different environments of my clients, 
 for VMware image backups. Straightforward very well organized GUI that is so intuitive, that from the first moment you feel like you know what to do. The internal deduplication and network compressions work like a charm. The replication feature is simple yet functional, covering for otherwise expensive software from other vendors. Using the remote backup and replication features between 2 DC's and getting very consistent and satisfactory performance results. Overall I love the product and would recommend it to anyone.

**What do you dislike about NAKIVO Backup & Replication?**

1) Repository management is very simple, partially only available from the cli.
2) Not possible to skip on any virtual disks of a VM that is running backup/replication (Can't bypass temp/dev/backup partitions,....).



**Recommendations to others considering NAKIVO Backup & Replication:**

After spending years working with complicated and expensive products, including EMC and Symantec solutions, we have an ease of use financially sain product.

**What problems is NAKIVO Backup & Replication solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The sustainable backup solution with fast and reliable recovery.

  ### 7. Great Value VMWare Backup

**What do you like best about NAKIVO Backup & Replication?**

Ease of Use and Cost. The Gui is entirely web based making administration easy from any PC in the school.

**What do you dislike about NAKIVO Backup & Replication?**

Not a lot. Sometimes we have issues when we update to a new version of VMWare but this is fixed by upgrading Nakivo to the latest version

**Recommendations to others considering NAKIVO Backup & Replication:**

A great alternative to other VMware backup solutions

**What problems is NAKIVO Backup & Replication solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It enables us to easily backup our virtual infrastructure at a fraction of the cost of Veeam which we were using previously.

  ### 8. easy to install, easy to use, efficient support

No ovf or ova export function
this function was promised (in roadmap) some times ago but nothing yet

  ### 10. Great product that just works

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Frank J. | Consultant, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 16, 2018

**What do you like best about NAKIVO Backup & Replication?**

It's flexibility to make your backup infrastructure fit your current infra. Windows, linux, NFS, iSCSI, internal storage, it will take anything you have that make sense to you.

**What do you dislike about NAKIVO Backup & Replication?**

It still has some difficulties doing file level restoration across all the filesystem it supports. 

**What problems is NAKIVO Backup & Replication solving and how is that benefiting you?**

DR is taken care of and we cut our time to recovery by at least 50% with scheduled duplication of VMs.
File level recovery for certain filesystem has been enabling us to remove OS level backup software. We cut back on software cost and storage cost for backup. Combining our disaster recovery and backup budget has been an important aspect in choosing Nakivo.

  ### 11. Easy to use Powerful Solution

  ### 12. NAKIVO - very fast and reliable backup software

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer & Network Security | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 06, 2019

**What do you like best about NAKIVO Backup & Replication?**

That it is controlled via an web-interface and not a windows application or so.
Fast full VM recovery.

**What do you dislike about NAKIVO Backup & Replication?**

Nothing really. I think NAKIVO is a very good and cheap backup software. With nakivo and a virtuel environment it is the best solution you can get.

**What problems is NAKIVO Backup & Replication solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We was using custom scripts before NAKIVO, and the price it costed us in employee time and recover, has been reduced by 90%. NAKIVO is easy to install and very easy to use.

  ### 13. Stable and easy to use Backup Solution!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Matthias M. | CEO, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 26, 2018

**What do you like best about NAKIVO Backup & Replication?**

Very well designed product! We use it in conjunction with a Synology-NAS as an Backup-Appliance.
It just works great for us and our customers, even exotic configurations like replicas on the same ESXi Host (2 different Datastores) are easy to setup up and just work!! 
We are happy with NAKIVO Backup & Replication. Its a stable, time saving and reliable solution.


**What do you dislike about NAKIVO Backup & Replication?**

Nothing, since we only use the appliance mode, we cannot speak about the Version which needs an installation. 

**What problems is NAKIVO Backup & Replication solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We achieve fast and reliable image based backups for VMs

  ### 14. Reliable Backups

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 08, 2018

**What do you like best about NAKIVO Backup & Replication?**

1.  Simple deployment model that can grow with your workloads.
2. Configurable.  Create one time backup jobs or create schedules.
3. APIs.  There is an API that can be used to automate almost every action required.
4. Failure Handling.  Recovers from outside issues that would normally cause an error.  If 1 VM has an issue the remaining items in the job continue.
5. Multi-Cloud.  One tool can be leveraged to manage workloads in an on-premise environment or cloud hosted.

The main reason Nakivo was of interest was the ability to consume the API to provide a dynamic environment that can be changed as the workloads change.  When VM's are created or destroyed the API can be leveraged to update or modify jobs as needed.

**What do you dislike about NAKIVO Backup & Replication?**

Having an API is great but I wish it was more friendly.  For example every action is called against :<port>/c/router with a payload defining the request.  Ideally when I want to get a list of jobs it should be an HTTP GET on a resource instead of always being a POST with the resource and method defined. 

**What problems is NAKIVO Backup & Replication solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Ability to dynamically configure backup jobs so that no workloads get missed.  Nakivo provides a simple yet powerful means to provide the backup and recovery of your environment.

  ### 15. Good product

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Cristian S. | Mr., Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 28, 2019

**What do you like best about NAKIVO Backup & Replication?**

Simply to configure and use. Good support and documentation. Good value for money.

**What do you dislike about NAKIVO Backup & Replication?**

I do not have a dislike since I am using it.

**Recommendations to others considering NAKIVO Backup & Replication:**

Can run as a virtual appliance -> Not required an additional license. 

**What problems is NAKIVO Backup & Replication solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Backup for entire virtual machines.

  ### 16. Synology Backup Tool

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jason A. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 05, 2018

**What do you like best about NAKIVO Backup & Replication?**

I've been playing with a number of different tools in my lab to compare different backup solutions for VMware for the Power User / HomeLab / Small Office environment.  My environment consists of a single VMware server with 4 running virtual machines and a Synology DS918+ to support the testing of different virtual machines that I do.  I decided to test the Nakivo Synology app and I found it to be probably one of the quickest and easiest backup solutions to use   Total time from setup to first test backup was less than 10 minutes.   The application uses the Synology onboard storage so getting the repository setup is trivial.   Configuring the remaining settings such as email alerting was easy.   

**What do you dislike about NAKIVO Backup & Replication?**

The only thing I didn' like was the install process on the Synology device.   I manually installed the application but for some reason, it didn't start correctly after the first install.   I had to restart my Nas device to get the application to run.   After the restart, the application has been running perfectly. 

**Recommendations to others considering NAKIVO Backup & Replication:**

For a small office running a single VMware server, this would be ideal. 

**What problems is NAKIVO Backup & Replication solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Looking for a way to protect a limited number of VM's in a HomeLab/Small Office Setting. 

  ### 17. Easy and powerful

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Christophe R. | System Engineer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 22, 2018

**What do you like best about NAKIVO Backup & Replication?**

clear and comprehensive interface, with help at all levels

**What do you dislike about NAKIVO Backup & Replication?**

Currently, it is not possible to encrypt backup storage directly on a Synology

**Recommendations to others considering NAKIVO Backup & Replication:**

Easy to use, can be installed on a NAS (Synology) and therefore does not require a dedicated VM. In addition, very efficient and fast.

**What problems is NAKIVO Backup & Replication solving and how is that benefiting you?**

In the past, I used Nakivo in a VMware infrastructure to backup dozens of VMs.

Today, my working environment is Hyper-V and I was looking for a backup tool for VM. I also wanted the software to run on a Synology and not add a VM to the hypervisor (in case it crashes)

In fact, I downloaded Nakivo to test under Hyper-V and returned the same ease and power as for VMware.

So it was my inevitable choice for the backups, without hesitating!

Easy to set up and use, what more could you ask for:-)

  ### 18. Nakivo the best fit for backuping Hyper-V with Synology ! 

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Executive Office | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 23, 2019

**What do you like best about NAKIVO Backup & Replication?**

Nakivo is a briliant all in one backup product and native suport of synology. We have been using Veeam before but because that software needs a Windows Server to work, we have been looking for an appliance. 
Setup and configuration super fast, work perfeclty with Hyper-V !

**What do you dislike about NAKIVO Backup & Replication?**

The interface could be better maybe; but it work fine.

**What problems is NAKIVO Backup & Replication solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Backup Hyper-V server directly to my synology NAS

  ### 19. Powerful Backup & Replication solution which is easy to install and configure

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Erich N. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 18, 2018

**What do you like best about NAKIVO Backup & Replication?**

A few weeks ago I did read the first time about NAKIVO Backup & Replication Solution. In the article it was written, that the Software can be installed and configured in a few minutes. I can only confirm that this is really true and I really like that the software is directly running on a NAS appliance like QNAP as well. 

**What do you dislike about NAKIVO Backup & Replication?**

Up until now I did not have any problems I could write about.

**What problems is NAKIVO Backup & Replication solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We use NAKIVO Backup & Replication to replace Vsphere VDP as this product has been discontinued. The main advantage I see with NAKIVO Backup & Replication is that there are no longer any plugins and appliances which need to run on the VMware infrastructure.

  ### 20. Simple and fast deployment, affordable but powerful and reliable.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed by:** Shaun M. | Owner and Managing Director, Telecommunications, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 26, 2018

**What do you like best about NAKIVO Backup & Replication?**

The ease of use, just snapping the appliance into a NAS or VMware great! Easy navigation and guided selections and functionality made it so easy to learn the product. The ease of creating and running backups or replications so simple. I highly recommend this product.

Didn't find anything to dislike, It was very easy to implement and quick to learn and use.

Clean interface
Just works

**What do you dislike about NAKIVO Backup & Replication?**

I haven't found anything that I really dislike so far.

**What problems is NAKIVO Backup & Replication solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We needed a backup solution to backup our Hyper-V cluster with offsite backup.
Nakivo does all this while running on our Synology NAS.

  ### 23. Nakivo, works great for backups.  Recovery is a different story.

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Brent W. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 14, 2018

**What do you like best about NAKIVO Backup & Replication?**

Nakivo is a lightweight VM backup solution.  We started out using the Windows based installer a few years back but have since switched over to the Nakivo VA.  For a smaller sized business it's handy that it takes up a small footprint and resources on the ESXi host.  Using default settings the entire VA takes up 2 vCPU, 4GB of RAM and 30GB drive space. 

Pros:
1) Easy setup either through installer or VA
2) Lightweight
3) Easy setup for notifications.  Emails on success or failures.
4) Newest version has chat support built in

**What do you dislike about NAKIVO Backup & Replication?**

Here's the part that becomes frustrating.  While the recovery process does work, there are times you need to jump through hoops to get it functioning.  We recently had a VM datastore corrupt after a RAID drive failed (completely not Nakivo related, just providing back story), and we had to recover from USB backups from Nakivo.  We luckily were able to setup a test ESXi and run a Flash Boot from Nakivo to verify integrity of backup before recovery.  We then started a recovery to the ESXi.  The process was quite slow, but understandable on an older server and USB 2.0 (NAS recovery is faster) but at this location that wasn't an option. Took about 47 hours to recover a 2TB VM. Recovery was successful but working with restoring some newer data files, some files were deleted on the recovered VM.  This is where the issue starts.  We went to run a Flash Boot again to the same ESXi we had previously tested on, but this time it would not allow us to select a datastore as the remaining space on the datastore was 1.8TB, but the VM backup was 2TB.  

At this point we contacted support and spent 4 hours troubleshooting. Support was not helpful at all.  First we were told NFS wasn't supported for Flash Boot, then we were told VMFS/ATA wasn't supported (but remember we did successfully Flash Boot to the same ESXi before the recovery when there was over 3TB of space.)  Long story short I was told they don't know, you should only need a small amount of space, and the last option was to reboot the ESXi servers.  Flash Boot does not work across 3 different ESXi servers.  Basically Nakivo is good for backups and recovery, but don't expect anything from support.

Cons:
1) Slow recovery vis USB (not really Nakivo's fault)
2) Flash Boot only seems to work with more space than the full size of the VM
3) Support
4) Getting sales calls when trying to re-download VA/installers

**What problems is NAKIVO Backup & Replication solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Nakivo allows us to keep backups of our VM's for recovery purposes.  It may be slow to recovery depending on your backup media, but is still a lot faster than trying to rebuild from scratch.

  ### 25. The Only One That I Can Count On!!!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Brian S. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 13, 2018

**What do you like best about NAKIVO Backup & Replication?**

Fast backups, restores. Nice boot snapshot feature for peace of mind. Easy install and setup. 

**What do you dislike about NAKIVO Backup & Replication?**

Only con is the product and licensing is a little difficult to understand. Not a problem though; just email of the nice support agents. Pretty fast response time.

**Recommendations to others considering NAKIVO Backup & Replication:**

Great product, great price.

**What problems is NAKIVO Backup & Replication solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I have tried many other VM backup solutions. I also make sure to have 3 different backups using differemt products for fail proof restores. Many times Nakivo was the only restore that worked. All others have failed me in my time of need. Price is very fair, fair enough that it is an easy sell to my clients with limited budgets.

  ### 26. Best Backup software On my Synology NAS 

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Alexander S. | Linux Engineer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 11, 2018

Have been using Nakivo for the last few months and i find it reliable, saves backup storage and works very well with my Hyper-v and Synology environment. 

**What do you dislike about NAKIVO Backup & Replication?**

Well there are few thing that would be nice if they include it in Nakivo:

-two factor authentication
-Fix the update option on the Synology NAS. At the moment I have to download the file and update it manually

**What problems is NAKIVO Backup & Replication solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Price isn't that high, so it's perfect for a small IT-environment


  ### 27. A great product: effective and affordable

Easy to install and use. Increase the security of the system immediately. It can be installed as a Synology package. Everything works as expected to work

**What do you dislike about NAKIVO Backup & Replication?**

It would be great if it allowed the backup of physical machines. Get a comprehensive backup solution

**What problems is NAKIVO Backup & Replication solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We were looking for a backup solution for ESXi with a very tight budget. Other solutions, perhaps better known, were too expensive and we decided to try NAKIVO. It was a great success.

  ### 31. Powerful and cheap

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Printing | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 04, 2018

**What do you like best about NAKIVO Backup & Replication?**

It is as simple as it is powerful. Time from download to full implementation is exceedingly short. The system requires minimum knowledge and the web interface is intuitive and complete.  Reporting and automated email notifications of system and backup status saves time, and ensures proper operation in an emergency.

**What do you dislike about NAKIVO Backup & Replication?**

The only negative is not really a negative but Nakivo does not backup physical servers.

**What problems is NAKIVO Backup & Replication solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The entire infraestructure of servers. Better prices than the other backup software tools, free training and better perfomance.

  ### 32. Easy to use, good support

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Andreas B. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 29, 2018

**What do you like best about NAKIVO Backup & Replication?**

straightforward gui (by far not as confusin as veeam) 
creation of new objects as easy as pie
real bargain compared to veeam

**What do you dislike about NAKIVO Backup & Replication?**

it appears to be not as robust as veeam - after one year of usage I already had 3 instances of corrupt repository (owing to less than optimal hardware but still...)

**What problems is NAKIVO Backup & Replication solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It's a backup system, it does vm backup and restore and its cheap

  ### 33. Easy to use backup solution for virtual infrastructure

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Systemhaus Sauerland . | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 17, 2018

**What do you like best about NAKIVO Backup & Replication?**

The software is really easy to install and configure. If there is a question or a problem NAKIVO has a quick and well organized support team.

**What do you dislike about NAKIVO Backup & Replication?**

So far just the way how backup jobs on removable disks in rotation are implemented. Ideally the software would recognize what repository is attached. But as a workaround you can create multiple jobs (for each repository one job).

**What problems is NAKIVO Backup & Replication solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Cost efficient backup solution for small and mid sized companies using VMware or HyperV servers.

  ### 34. Works great for Hyper-V - Fast & Efficient

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Ryan M. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 21, 2018

**What do you like best about NAKIVO Backup & Replication?**

Nakivo works cleanly and efficiently when backing up Hyper-V VMs. The software does well with a mixed environment of Linux and Windows VMs, and deduplication and compression make off-site backups viable. Restoring VMs from off-site or on-site storage was painless and easy.

Initially I was concerned that the several TB of VM data we had would be too much for off-site backups, but deduplication coupled with heavy compression brought this down to only a few hundred GB when uploading to Azure File Storage.

The software is quite flexible in that you can either use an SMB file store, or configure a light-weight VM in Azure with Nakivo's transporter installed for better security / more efficient transport when doing off-site backups. Using Backup Copy jobs allows you to keep nice and consistent backups.

**What do you dislike about NAKIVO Backup & Replication?**

There's not much to dislike. I have found the Linux transporter implementation to be a bit more robust than the Windows transporter in some scenarios, so I would recommend just setting up a Linux VM or using Nakivo's virtual appliance if you're running VMWare. It's very light on resources.

One thing I found is that if you trigger another job after successfully completing a job, the second job inherits the schedule of the first one (thus, if the first job executes every day of the week, so will the triggered job that follows it). You can't select that they only occur on certain days, so if you need to distribute off-site backups throughout a week, for example, this is a bit difficult. It may be possible to achieve this with Pre and Post job scripts, however I haven't looked into this. (You can execute scripts that run before and after a job).

Lastly, if I'm going to struggle to find other issues, I'd only suggest that they replace the background image in their web UI. Usually you'd just access it on a local browser, but if you view the window in Remote Desktop (for whatever reason - you really should just connect with your browser) the image doesn't compress well and it's not a great experience. Switching the image out to a solid color solves this.

**What problems is NAKIVO Backup & Replication solving and how is that benefiting you?**

On-site and off-site backups. The data compression, deduplication and low resource usage is very nice.

  ### 35. Reliable and easy to use product

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Leon L. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 23, 2018

**What do you like best about NAKIVO Backup & Replication?**

I deployed the virtual machine version and found it easy to deploy and use out of the box.  When I wanted to add additional storage is was seamless and "Just worked".

Recovering VM's was just as easy since its an online system, Nakivo takes care of all the details during the restore process.

**What do you dislike about NAKIVO Backup & Replication?**

I didn't really have any issues.  The only frustrating thing was if you had to restore your v-center VM, the recovery process was a bit convoluted.   However Support had a white paper covering it.

**What problems is NAKIVO Backup & Replication solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I wanted a reliable backup system that I could set and forget.  Nakivo solves this for me and the notifications assure me everything is working.

  ### 36. Great backup solution

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** LHISP S. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 31, 2018

**What do you like best about NAKIVO Backup & Replication?**

This is a Great backup solution, it has great features, the setup is fast.
Communication with the sales and support teams are very fast
The solution if very powerful at an affordable price. NAKIVO offers cost-effective per-socket pricing.
It has minimal system requirements.
It can run on a Synology or on a Virtual Machin with minimal performance requirements. Easy to use Backup Solution. The versioning of backups is very well implemented. The ability to restore single files or folders from Windows and Linux is very powerful.

**What do you dislike about NAKIVO Backup & Replication?**

The Web interface for managing the Software itself is not responsive and could have a redesign.

**Recommendations to others considering NAKIVO Backup & Replication:**

Multi Platform

**What problems is NAKIVO Backup & Replication solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Multi platform backup solution. 

  ### 37. Excellent Tool for ESXi Backup and Restore

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Cory E. | President and Founder, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 01, 2018

**What do you like best about NAKIVO Backup & Replication?**

It just works and works well.  We've used the restore on a few occasions now and it has been simple and fast to get back running.

**What do you dislike about NAKIVO Backup & Replication?**

Not a lot to dislike.  It performs as expected.

**Recommendations to others considering NAKIVO Backup & Replication:**

We use Nakivo on a Synology Rackstation.  We love how easy it is to use and integrate with our VM hosts.

**What problems is NAKIVO Backup & Replication solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We want reliable backups of our VMs.  We are a software development company and frequently "mess up" VMs during development and testing.  Nakivo allows us the freedom to not worry about that knowing we can instantly recover or revert to base copies.

  ### 38. easy to use backup software for vmware and hyper-v

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Martin S. | Informatiker IT-Security, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 25, 2018

**What do you like best about NAKIVO Backup & Replication?**

The web interface is really nice. It makes it easy to access the software from every device.
Also the installation on various operating systems is very usefull. You can use a QNAP or Synology NAS 

**What do you dislike about NAKIVO Backup & Replication?**

It would be nice, if you can exclude folders from backup.

**What problems is NAKIVO Backup & Replication solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Fast and easy backup solution for small businesses.
Deploy on existing systems without extra license costs (install on a Linux vm)

  ### 39. Nakivo Backup and Replication - Works Great!

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Tony M. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 23, 2018

**What do you like best about NAKIVO Backup & Replication?**

Simplicity, Speed, Dedupe and compression without addon cost. Untethered capacity

**What do you dislike about NAKIVO Backup & Replication?**

The only negative is not really a negative but Nakivo does not backup physical servers. 

**Recommendations to others considering NAKIVO Backup & Replication:**

Do your homework and compare feature and function - cost per socket and the simplicity it offers over top choices like VEEAM - it literally cant be beat for how simple it is. It has worked without issue since inception and when we have run into an issue - support fixed it or provided a solution within 24 hours

**What problems is NAKIVO Backup & Replication solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Nakivo B&R has simplified our backup process, to include the actual backups and retention period of that data by way of dedupe and compression. Previous backup vendors charged a premium addon for those functions. The Nakivo product also untethers capacity that we were once capped at on a competing product - no more purchasing 100% of an application but are limited to only consuming 80% of the licensed capacity.

  ### 40. Amazing backup solution

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Sylvain  F. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 19, 2018

**What do you like best about NAKIVO Backup & Replication?**

I like the simplicity of managing all the aspects of backup, restore and replications.  Many amazing features such as Flash boot (booting a backup in 12 seconds) and individual file access.  Backup to the cloud works like a charm and was setup without effort, as everything is handled within Nakivo. Incremental backup and use of VmWare CBT reduces backup time a LOT!  Deduplication reduces storage space a LOT!  Support is fantastic, prompt replies and relevant answers.

**What do you dislike about NAKIVO Backup & Replication?**

So far, not much.  Maybe the fact that Transporters running on Synology cannot be used directly to Recover files individually.  But work around exists.

**Recommendations to others considering NAKIVO Backup & Replication:**

I found no pitfalls, so not recommandations at the moment....

**What problems is NAKIVO Backup & Replication solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Getting rid of tape backups infrastructure that is getting old.  Having a backup solution that supports 3-2-1 backup startegy, where I have my backups locally, and a copy out in the cloud.

  ### 41. Great backup solution

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Peter K. | Owner, Information Technology and Services, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 07, 2018

**What do you like best about NAKIVO Backup & Replication?**

Great solution for backups for both SMBs and larger companies. Awesome performance and great feature set as well as very competitive pricing. Very easy to get up and running.

**What do you dislike about NAKIVO Backup & Replication?**

Lack of physical machine backups. I am being told it's in the works though so looking forward to it.

**Recommendations to others considering NAKIVO Backup & Replication:**

You should strongly consider it.

**What problems is NAKIVO Backup & Replication solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Great backup and disaster recovery.

  ### 42. Fast backups & reliable restores

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Tamara J. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 31, 2018

**What do you like best about NAKIVO Backup & Replication?**

1) Runs as a Linux VM, so does not consume a Windows license.  Nakivo can run on Windows if you are in a Windows-only shop, but if you have a mixed Windows / Linux environment, Linux can understand both NTFS and EXT4, so you can do individual file restores for both platforms.

2) Relatively low resource requirements.  My Nakivo VM is backing up around 40 VMware guests, but only needs 2 vCPU and 4GB RAM.

3) Simple and intuitive web interface.  I've even run it on my phone.

4) The dedupe functionality does not consume much CPU / RAM.  
I can't say that Nakivo has the best dedupe I've ever seen (EMC Avamar holds that crown), but the low CPU/RAM resource consumption makes up for that.

5) The Backup Copy Job makes it easy to have an offsite backup for DR purposes.
I use this feature to provide cross-site offsite backups between two data centers.

6) The VMware replication feature is great for test labs.  I've used it to rapidly deploy multiple VM's for testing, so it saves me a bunch of time.

7) Flash VM Boot makes it really quick to recover from hardware failures.  I had an old VMware server die on me last year, and the dozen or so VM's on that machine were up and running on an alternate host 5 minutes later.


**What do you dislike about NAKIVO Backup & Replication?**

The individual file restore process is a bit clunky.

I'm not a big fan of the whole strategy of downloading individual files from the web interface, and then using a separate procedure to copy the files to the machine that needs the files.

In a perfect world, I would like to be able to kick off individual file restores directly on the client machine, but I realize that is not really feasible in an agentless environment.  

I've been working around this by exporting the mounted backup image from the Transporter directly to the client machine, and then using the client machine to copy from the NFS or SMB export, as described at https://helpcenter.nakivo.com/display/KB/Direct+Recovery+of+Files+to+a+VM

NOTE: Apparently, in-guest file restore is on the roadmap for Q2 2018, so this might not be an issue for much longer.

**Recommendations to others considering NAKIVO Backup & Replication:**

If you are still using legacy in-guest backup solutions (Netbackup, Commvault, TSM, etc), look at Nakivo for backing up your VMware/Hyper-V environments.   

**What problems is NAKIVO Backup & Replication solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Easy to make both onsite and offsite backups, with simple and reliable restores.

  ### 43. Very intuitive, fast implementation, reliable functionality

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Luis F. | CTO, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 23, 2018

**What do you like best about NAKIVO Backup & Replication?**

The easy of implementation and the intuitive interface brings us a total VM backup solution embedded in QNAP. After review another products of the crowd of backup solutions, we decided for Nakivo.

**What do you dislike about NAKIVO Backup & Replication?**

Only one admin can be logged, but we have various users.

**What problems is NAKIVO Backup & Replication solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Securing our VM platform and a reliable source of backup for remediation of disasters.

  ### 44. NAKIVO Small Business Implementation

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** James R. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 26, 2018

**What do you like best about NAKIVO Backup & Replication?**

Intuitive interface that runs within the web browser of your QNAP or on-premise storage solution.  A calendar displays the backup schedule so that you can prioritize backups effectively.  NAKIVO was fast and easy to install and deploy on both our QNAP and Synology storage devices.

**What do you dislike about NAKIVO Backup & Replication?**

It takes a bit of research to understand the transporters required for different applications.  However, the default installation comes with a generic transporter for basic functionality.

**Recommendations to others considering NAKIVO Backup & Replication:**

Excellent product if you're looking for fast implementation.  

**What problems is NAKIVO Backup & Replication solving and how is that benefiting you?**

On premises backup and restoration of internal VM's.  Restoration of VM's is very fast and can be managed within the GUI.  There are multiple restoration points (depending on the quantity of backups you store) that can be used to restore a VM to a safe timestamp.  Implementation was much faster for us than other product offerings like Veeam.

  ### 45. No needs for something else

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Uros Z. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 05, 2018

**What do you like best about NAKIVO Backup & Replication?**

Nakivo is a briliant all in one backup product. We have been using Veeam before but because that software needs a Windows Server to work, we have been looking for an appliance. 
Setup and configuration super fast.
Support is great and very fast, no needs for tickets etc.

**What do you dislike about NAKIVO Backup & Replication?**

I dont have nothing to say about that. Maybe design.

**Recommendations to others considering NAKIVO Backup & Replication:**
