The NAKIVO director software is too resource hungry to run on our old Synology NAS. So we had to set up an extra VM to run the director. But this is only a minor issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Limited Support for Certain Platforms and Applications for example Broader Hypervisor Support: While it supports VMware, Hyper-V, and AWS EC2, it lacks native support for some hypervisors like Citrix Hypervisor (formerly XenServer) and Oracle VM. Expanding compatibility would appeal to a wider audience.

Application-Specific Enhancements: Although it supports Exchange, Active Directory, and SQL Server, integration with other popular applications like SAP HANA, Dynamics 365, or Oracle databases is limited. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The possibility of selecting multiple VMs when creating separate profiles, and also being able to customize schedules, days of the week, and full backups in various ways.

Full restores directly to the selected virtualizer, replication to multiple alternative clouds, without tying the client to a specific cloud. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Menus are a bit complex, the app has a lot of options, but it's a matter of use and getting used to where each one is. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We switched to NAKVIO from another unnamed Backup solution (that starts with V) and the key arguments were the outstanding price/performance ratio for our business case, the ability to run the software infrastructure on heterogenous platforms (our case QNAP NASes) and still be compatible with the latest virtualization solutions (our case a S2D HyperV Windows 2022 Cluster).

So far everything is going as well as we can expect - we also got competent support in the implementation phase. The software itself is very easy to use, however it must be said that a few details are not quite that obvious. Its running now in daily usage, and so far no problems.

I also like the frequency of updates and new features, the upcoming next version already has something that we might use in the near future (Proxmox integration). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So far not really something worth mentioning - the setup process for NAS devices could be slightly more clear / easy when creating / using custom paths for the repositories. That was the only small point where we stumbled on initial deployment, and where we needed customer support. Also, there are a few details about the license model that NAKIVO could think about optimizing (mainly the relatively high costs pro TB for usage based licensing when it comes to file shares).

What I didn't like was that it was not in Spanish, but in version 11 several languages ​​were added. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like all of the options available for backup targets, as well as backup destinations. I can backup local, to the cloud, to tape.

On top of that the features like retention period and immutability is just awesome. You can also backup Office 365! That is a game changer Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not all of the agents get updated at the same time. For instance Synology updates are very slow to come out which can prevent you from updating your server. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
