"Exceeded all our expectations in Enterprise Data Protection"
What do you like best about NAKIVO Backup & Replication?

My experience with NAKIVO Backup & Replication over the past year has been nothing short of transformative. Having managed backup systems for 18 years, I can confidently say that NAKIVO provides the best management experience of any enterprise tool I have used. The product delivers on its core promise: reliable, fast, and simple data protection. The ability to easily configure complex backup schedules for daily backup to local NAS storage and seamless weekly backup copies to S3 cloud storage from one centralized, intuitive interface is invaluable. Overall - Unmatched Simplicity, Speed and Reliability, Exceptional Customer Support, Ease of Deployment & Management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NAKIVO Backup & Replication?

UI Modernization, admin console experience is great, easy to navigate but the design itself is outdated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The Saviour"
What do you like best about NAKIVO Backup & Replication?

Nakivo is quick to setup and user friendly. There are a number of features such as replication, backup, failover and failback which makes allows workloads to migrated successfully. It provides detailed reports into why a job was successful or why it failed. The customer and technical support team are always available and willing to explain into details for resolution and better understanding. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NAKIVO Backup & Replication?

The only thing i dislike about Nakivo is that, it is unable to support Unix like platforms like IBM AIX servers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great backup solution for SMBs"
What do you like best about NAKIVO Backup & Replication?

The range of features for the price, it’s an excellent replacement for more well known brand that seems to take its customer’s for granted with regards pricing, especially in the SMB space.

The fact it can install as an app on a range of NAS hardware means we can save on Windows server licensing, and have a dedicated back up device.

Offer of free consultation to setup the product in production environment and adhere to best practices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NAKIVO Backup & Replication?

So far as I know, removable media has to be set up as multiple repositories instead of the software dealing with a bundle of devices that may be rotated as a single entity. It requires a bit more configuration than anticipated but with job cloning options was fairly easy in the end. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Intuitive, Fast, and Reliable Backup"
What do you like best about NAKIVO Backup & Replication?

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.

What do you dislike about NAKIVO Backup & Replication?

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.

"Easy to use, robust, cost- effective"
What do you like best about NAKIVO Backup & Replication?

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.

What do you dislike about NAKIVO Backup & Replication?

- 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.

"Simple and UI Friendly Server Backup"
What do you like best about NAKIVO Backup & Replication?

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.

What do you dislike about NAKIVO Backup & Replication?

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 ).

"Simple, Smart, and Fast, The best Backup Solution we worked with"
What do you like best about NAKIVO Backup & Replication?

Nakivo Backup & Replication is extremely intuitive with a great workflow that makes backups simple to manage. It’s also very smart—if a Transporter isn’t available during a job, the system recovers automatically without manual input. I really like the distributed architecture, where multiple transporters act as a pool to handle backup, compression, encryption, and recovery tasks efficiently.

Scheduling is flexible and easy to set up, with support for multiple schedules on the same job. Licensing is straightforward, affordable, and “set and forget” with no hidden complexities. The Flash Boot for VMware feature is a true lifesaver—being able to spin up a temporary VM directly from the backup files within seconds has saved us in critical moments. Backup lifecycle and retention are also very intuitive and reliable.

Lastly, Nakivo’s support team has been excellent—knowledgeable, responsive, and proactive in helping us design strategies that fit our environment perfectly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NAKIVO Backup & Replication?

I’d like to see a dynamic search function on the Jobs page to make it easier to quickly filter through multiple backup jobs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simple, Reliable and Cost-Effective Data Protection"
What do you like best about NAKIVO Backup & Replication?

I really like how easy it is to deploy and use. Nakivo supports a wide range of environments (VMware, Hyper-V, Nutanix, Proxmox, physical servers, Microsoft 365, NAS, and multiple clouds), and the 24/7 support is excellent without the high costs you usually see with other vendors. It delivers great value for money. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NAKIVO Backup & Replication?

The platform is very solid, but some advanced features like disaster recovery and monitoring could benefit from more detailed reporting and customizable dashboards. That said, Nakivo updates frequently and keeps improving with each release. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Nakivo Backup and Replication for multiple VM Platforms"
What do you like best about NAKIVO Backup & Replication?

I installed the Synology DSM application for Nakivo. Using their agents we are backing up Nutanix VMs, vSphere VMs and a standalone Windows server. In addition our backups are being replicated to Wasabi for additional immutable offsite storage.

The configuration was pretty straightforward and so far the system just works. We previously used a Unitrends Recovery appliance but switched to Nakivo when our renewal pricing skyrocketed. I haven't a lot of support, but when I have reached out the responses have been fairly quick and effective. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NAKIVO Backup & Replication?

The only issue I've had was using the Synology native app requires waiting for the latest version to hit that platform's release. I had downloaded the latest Nutanix Transporter only to find it didn't work with the prior version manager on Synology. There is no option to download the latest Synology app direct from Nakivo. A minor inconvenience to a solid product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Straightforward reliable backup"
What do you like best about NAKIVO Backup & Replication?

Nakivo pretty much just works - the initial installation is very straightforward compared to the competition, with configuration after installation being via web interface and no need to dig for settings. I had everything up and running performing backup of all my hosts plus two NAS units within an hour or two. Optimising everything took another day or two once I clearly understood the exact way that Nakivo operates, and since then, everything has been performing well. Backups run every day on schedule and I don't worry about anything being missed. The restore process is also straightforward (including generating boot media for physical hosts), which I appreciate. I found it easy to integrate with everything needed. I did validate a few configuration options with customer support during the first few days of operation just to make sure I had understood the documentation correctly and I received prompt, helpful and courteous replies that provide a lot of confidence in Nakivo. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NAKIVO Backup & Replication?

My only dislike is that it's not possible (as far as I can tell) to skip backup up the swap/hibernation file on Windows physical hosts, which results in some needlessly large backups. But storage is cheap, so this isn't a huge problem. Otherwise, everything works well! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
