"The chat functionality with Nakivo Support in the web interface is very unique and we love it."
"The backup for physical machines and replication for the virtual environment are the most valuable aspects."

"I have not seen another backup solution as scalable as this one."
"The solution is very fast. It does not take a long time to backup everything."

"I would like to have a built-in SNMP client, which is important if we want to monitor it using Zabbix, Nagios, or another monitoring solution."
"I would love to see BackBlaze B2 implementation in the future, as that would be our preferred cloud destination, but Amazon and Wasabi are both very great choices in the meantime."

"I think it is important to work not only in replicating the virtual machines in Amazon AWS, but in other cloud systems."

"I would like to improve their ability to back up the cloud environment. Additionally, it would be nice to have simpler UI."

"I would like to be able to create a restore task that can be scheduled so that the same restore action will be performed automatically."
"The console of Veritas Backup Exec is complex when compared to other software."
