I like NAKIVO Backup & Replication because of its great user experience and seamless deployment. It's super easy to set up, and it doesn't consume much storage space, which is perfect for replicating data between production and DR sites without the unnecessary use of local storage. The solution aligns directly with what the customer needs in terms of replication, unlike my experiences with previous products. I switched from Acronis and Altaro by Hornet Security because NAKIVO doesn't require backing up locally before replicating, saving storage and data space, and it offers better customer service and pricing.

I love the process automation for backups offered by NAKIVO Backup & Replication, as it allows me to schedule server backup tasks without the need for manual intervention. This ensures that backups are performed on time and minimizes the possibility of operational errors. I also highly value the immutable copies, which ensure that backups cannot be altered or encrypted by ransomware. This capability provides exceptional security by ensuring we always have an intact and recoverable copy of the company's information. Additionally, the initial setup of NAKIVO Backup & Replication was quite simple, even without prior experience with the tool, which was a relief. This positive experience makes me highly recommend NAKIVO Backup & Replication as a reliable tool for protecting information and automating tasks that significantly reduce the workload.

I believe they could offer a greater number of training webinars to better utilize the tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've been using Nakivo for about a month now.

With over 20 years of experience in backup solutions like TSM, Commvault, and Veeam, I decided to give Nakivo a try after using Veeam for a small number of on-premise workloads.

Its interface is highly intuitive, allowing anyone with experience in backup solutions to set it up quickly.

Since it supports deployment via a Virtual Appliance, the installation process is very fast and convenient.

I was able to configure the tool on my own in under 2 hours for and integration to a workload that included ESXi, Proxmox, and repositories on AWS S3.

We also tested the disaster recovery process. Using the configuration backup, we successfully restored the service in less than 15 minutes, easily accessing the external repositories.

Since the solution is so intuitive, I didn't need to use technical support, but the sales team was quick to respond to my needs and questions.

For environments of low to medium complexity, it will meet virtually 100% of your requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It lacks some of the features found in more expensive solutions.

The main feature I missed was an integrated backup of just the SQL Server transaction log. However, this can be worked around using other methods, like scripts or more frequent backup cycles. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the simplicity in operating NAKIVO Backup & Replication. It offers very good reporting, and it's easy to use. The initial setup was very easy and straightforward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only thing is the pricing. For a really small and simple environment, it comes quite pricey. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nakivo Backup is very easy to set up. I particularly appreciate the ability to use the software on different platforms while having centralized, unified management across multiple machines. The range of features is impressive: With Nakivo Backup, you have a central solution to back up both virtual machines (on different host environments), physical servers and workstations, as well as M365 accounts.

Unfortunately, you cannot directly edit LXC containers without equipping them with an agent. With deduplicating backups, quite large container files are created and modified. This makes an offsite copy via rsync quite slow with larger amounts of data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Simple and functional, easy to use, unbeatable value Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Restores on other servers are performed via iSCSI, which involves creating volumes on the server. This process is somewhat opaque. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use NAKIVO Backup & Replication for a reliable infrastructure of backups and recoveries. The tool is super easy to use and offers good security for data protection. The ease of use is relatively well-suited for everyone. I primarily use it for Microsoft 365 because it is just super easy to use, and I also back up two servers with it. The setup of NAKIVO Backup & Replication was very easy. The price-performance ratio is also acceptable for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One does have a trial version, but it can only be used in a limited way in a corporate environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. I have rarely needed to refer to the documentation when performing basic backup or restore operations. The online help for advanced features is well-organized and descriptive. Support for Microsoft 365 and Proxmox are among the most important features added over the years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- 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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I’ve been using Nakivo Backup & Replication installed on a Linux server, with backup storage pointed to a TrueNAS Scale system, and it’s been solid.

One of the things I really like is how lightweight and efficient it is, it doesn’t chew up resources, and it’s quick to set up.

I use it to back up two Windows servers, and it’s been rock solid. Backups run consistently without any issues or slowdown.

The web interface is straightforward and easy to work with, and I’ve got plenty of control over how and when backups run.

Pointing the storage to my TrueNAS Scale setup has been a good move too, it connects without any hassle and gives me peace of mind knowing everything’s stored safely and easy to get to if needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only issue I had so far was when installing the agent on one of the servers. The initial install failed, however I managed to get around this by investigating the install script as it was running and fixing the dependency it installs before hand (was a Microsoft redistributable package ).
