"Intuitive and Cost-effective for VM Backup"
4.5/5
What do you like best about NAKIVO Backup & Replication?

I use NAKIVO Backup & Replication to back up my virtual machines in my Proxmox environment, and it allows me to manage multiple backup jobs with ease. I love how intuitive and easy to use and deploy it is, and I especially value the backup and recovery jobs. Also, the initial setup was very easy because they provide all the documentation and a script. Additionally, the cost of the licenses is an advantage since they are perpetual and you only pay for support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NAKIVO Backup & Replication?

The truth is that everything works well, the only thing I could ask for is in the response time of technical support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NAKIVO Backup & Replication?

Sometimes the interface feels a bit clunky, which can make finding settings less intuitive. I’d also love more detailed reporting to get clearer insights into backup performance. Setting it up in more complex environments can be a little tricky, so having clearer guidance or tutorials would make things much smoother. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy Setup, Affordable and Efficient Backup Solution"
4.5/5
What do you like best about NAKIVO Backup & Replication?

I use NAKIVO Backup & Replication as my core solution for backing up all PCs and servers, and it's very easy to use. The user experience with the GUI complements my own skills well. I really appreciate the feature to add third-party applications for protection, like m365, Teams, and SharePoint. Also, the process of backing up my SQL server and VMs is simplified with NAKIVO. I find their documentation extensive, which made the initial setup very easy. I previously used other backup clients but choose NAKIVO for its competitive pricing while offering a solution similar to others. I have recommended it to my customers.

What do you dislike about NAKIVO Backup & Replication?

In the past, my customer wanted Polish language support, which wasn't available at the time, though I heard it might be added in 2025. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simplicity and Power with Room for Integration Growth"
4.5/5
What do you like best about NAKIVO Backup & Replication?

I really like NAKIVO Backup & Replication for its striking simplicity without sacrificing power. The initial setup was relatively simple and convenient, with no difficulties or challenges. I also appreciate the Screenshot Verification feature, which, although a small feature, has a massive psychological impact. After a backup job runs, NAKIVO can automatically boot the VM from the backup file in an isolated environment, take a screenshot of the OS loading, and log the result. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NAKIVO Backup & Replication?

The advanced integration gap is something I don't like. It lacks tight integration with ITSM platforms like ServiceNow or Jira Service Desk for automated ticket creation on backup failures, unlike larger competitors. Also, while it has its own failover orchestration, deep hooks into broader IT automation platforms for complex recovery runbooks are not a strength. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Unmatched Support and Cost-Effective Backup Solution"
5/5
What do you like best about NAKIVO Backup & Replication?

I really like NAKIVO Backup & Replication's Flash Restore feature, which helped us quickly determine if the restore point was clean from ransomware. The Immutability feature offers assurance that we are protected from good backups being wiped out. The cost is also a huge plus—it is 10 times less than our previous option. I appreciate its configurability as we are not limited by software restrictions or poor features, making it very robust. Most importantly, the live phone or Google Meet support with a software engineer is invaluable. Setting it up was very easy as NAKIVO assisted via Google Meets. Additionally, the excellent support made learning the interface much easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NAKIVO Backup & Replication?

It took me a while to figure out the interface, but that's on me. However, with NAKIVO's excellent support, they were able to walk me through until I got it figured out. Hand holding is important when critical restores are at hand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
