NAKIVO Backup & Replication Reviews & Product Details

I found NAKIVO Backup & Replication very user friendly and fast to deploy. The commercial and technical teams were very good and knowledgeable, and the quote and technical deployment were fast. I like that I can schedule automatic backups without relying on end users, which gives us more time for other work instead of repetitive tasks. We also use incremental backups to optimize space.

I wish NAKIVO Backup & Replication had a software-as-a-service solution for customers who want a full solution, not just the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Over the past few years, we, as a hosting company, have used many backup solutions. However, we were always looking for a better match, because they never fit 100% in our environment. We started by using the free version and were very pleased with the results. After a good discussion with the sales and technical guys from Nakivo, we decided to move forward and purchase paid licenses. What I like most is the speed at which the backup software can complete a backup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If there is a downside, it would be the long wait when restoring a particular file from weeks ago. It can take quite some time to restore, for example, a backed-up file of 30 GB. However, since I was using the free version and I’ve experienced the support team’s technical expertise and knowledge, I’m confident I could achieve much better results.

24/7 support and communication with a dedicated salesperson Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is not an intuitive, user-friendly application even for experienced engineers. You need to spend some time upskilling if you want to design the best-practice scenario for your environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love many things about NAKIVO. Firstly, it is a very effective solution for backups and the recovery time is minimal. Secondly, its ease of use with a user-friendly and smooth interface is a big plus. Finally, NAKIVO's support is very responsive to every minor issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The real-time replication feature still needs some improvements. For example, when the target system fails, the replication fails and does not restart automatically even if the target system becomes functional again. It always needs to be restarted manually, whereas a script could be implemented to monitor the status of the target system and restart the job automatically. Moreover, when the RTR job is in progress, backups cannot be performed on the affected virtual machines, which requires manually stopping the RTR job to start the backup, an action that could be automated.

The NAKIVO software is designed to make backing up virtual machines and physical servers effortless and seamless. Its straightforward, hassle‑free architecture is easy to implement, even in a homelab environment.

What truly sets NAKIVO apart is its customer service: the support team was quick to understand my requirements and helped me purchase the right license.

Moreover, NAKIVO’s flexible business model offers tailored plans for a variety of scenarios, making it an excellent choice for organizations of any size. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about NAKIVO Backup & Replication is its ease of use and versatility. The interface is intuitive, allowing for quick configuration and management of backups and recoveries, and it supports multiple environments such as virtual, physical, cloud, and Microsoft 365 from a single platform. It stands out for its efficient incremental copies, fast and granular recovery, good automation and security options, and an excellent cost-benefit ratio, making it a reliable and practical solution for data protection.

What I don't like about NAKIVO Backup & Replication is that some advanced features require a steeper learning curve, the documentation could be clearer in certain cases, and several important capabilities are only available in higher editions, which can limit its use if a more economical solution is sought.

I find NAKIVO Backup & Replication very effective for backup and restoration speeds. Having on-site backups is a real gem. I also value being able to encrypt data at rest and in transit and throttle our bandwidth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think reporting and notifications could improve. I’d like to send status reports to our tenant holders about backup and restoration processes, including autogenerated reports of backup success rates over a specified period or daily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I’ve been using NAKIVO Backup & Replication for some time now, and honestly it has been a very reliable solution for us.

I had to use it multiple times in real situations, not just for testing. I restored systems to previous versions, moved virtual machines from one server to another, and used it when an upgrade or system change was not reliable and I needed to go back to a previous restore point. Every time, the restore was successful and smooth.

The interface is simple, the backup jobs are easy to manage, and the recovery process gives you confidence when something goes wrong. For me, the biggest value is knowing that when I need to restore, NAKIVO actually works.

Overall, I’m very satisfied with NAKIVO and would definitely recommend it to any business looking for a reliable and cost-effective backup and disaster recovery solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
