NAKIVO: Cost-Effective and Reliable Backup Solution

I have been using Nakivo for approximately 6 years. The Nakivo system interface is user-friendly and quick to learn, it has good features for example efficient backups, good encryption and fast recoveries. Nakivo has increased our data protection and reduced downtime. The only area that might need some improvement is reporting, but overall, the system performance, cost-effectiveness and included features makes it the best solution for our backup requirements.
Pros
Nakivo's user-friendly interface and simplicity are the biggest highlights. It streamlines our backup management with quick setup, efficient incremental backups, and instant recovery, while keeping the impact on our system low. It is very cost effective, and the robust data protection makes it a great choice for small to medium businesses.
Cons
I think the main downside is the limited customization in reporting, which could be more detailed and flexible. Expanding support for a wider range of platforms would also benefit the product.

The setup process was straightforward, same with updates, and the platform has proven to be reliable in both backup and recovery operations. It offers a comprehensive suite of features, including automation, instant VM recovery, and advanced backup scheduling, which has greatly improved the efficiency of our data protection strategy. The performance has been consistently solid, with minimal resource drain during backup windows.

Support team have also impressed everytime.

NAKIVO helped me in the event of a host failure as well as damage to the virtual machines. In these cases, a previously prepared backup helped.
Pros
The most important thing is the reliability of this tool. It has saved me several times in my work.
Cons
I don't see any disadvantages of NAKIVO. For me it would be easier to have backups in the form of easily transferable files than a complicated repository, but of course I appreciate functionality and reliability above all.

Reviewed on 01/03/2024
Pros
Self-hosted, all necessary parts included, no subscriptions, flexible data retention and storage system, what's not to like?
Cons
Hyper-V automatic restoration will need some polishing. With Vmware throwing the clients under the bus, that is a necessary and hopefully to be addressed soon part.

Nakivo is one of the rare software providers that is dedicated to improving their products by actively reaching out to customers to listen to their suggestions and implement them in future versions.
Pros
The availability of friendly and helpful support staff. Along with the versatility of the software in virtual and "bare-metal" environments, what gives me the most peace of mind is that I know I can always rely on a support team to help me when there are problems I cannot solve just by consulting the help pages.
Cons
Sometimes the documentation is not very clear to me - but again, support was always ready to step in and help when I couldn't make sense of the knowledge base. One addition I would like to see is to be able to encrypt data before it reaches a public cloud repository. This is unfortunately only possible in a few situations, and generic object storage is not among them.

The backup job feature is my favorite. Creating, editing and restoring jobs is no problem at all.
Pros
Nakivo is a very user-friendly backup solution. Installation is no problem for a reasonably trained system administrator. The use is more or less self-explanatory, but of course there is also a very good manual and an equally good knowledge base that leaves nothing to be desired. The support, which I have only had to use once in five years, is also very competent.
Cons
There is really nothing which i do not like.

Reviewed on 06/05/2024
Pros
It is running under linux, therefore you can deploy it really fast. The Director and Transporter paradigm makes it convinient to set up in different environments, from air gapped clusters, to edge servers and more.
Cons
It does not support RBD as a storage repository out of the box, I am still waiting on that option to be available.

Excellent overall experience. The Pro's far outweight the Cons. Especially as all of the Cons were related to my understanding and techincal proficiency with Linux. We migrated to NAKIVO from VEEAM and are glad we did. Overall it's easier to use than VEEAM
Pros
It's a low cost highly efficient backup of our VM server environment with file and disaster recovery. NAKIVO tech support is also excellent should you run into issues. As in they're fast to respond and their techs are highly efficient. In addition the later versions have a much more logical and intuitive GUI
Cons
Did have some issues getting my head around how to deploy it with their "Transporters". And I needed tech support to add a Linux based NAS as the repository. However in fairness, I'm not very good with Linux administration.
