"The implementation of Nakivo made it possible to implement the information security policies currently in force in the company and to meet the statutory requirements in the field of IT security.""The product is good for protecting very low-budget offices, whereas other solutions fail in terms of cost and footprint of the VMs involved.""Nakivo Backup and Replication's web-based management interface enables intuitive, rapid, and seamless configuration and management of all backup and recovery functionality across the enterprise.""The simplicity of installation and the intuitive user interface have made it easy for our team to quickly set up and manage the backups without requiring extensive training.""It is flexible.""The user interface is good, and it's user-friendly. I also like its usability with hyper-convergence products like Nutanix and others in the data infrastructure.""It is fast, simple, powerful, and has a price without competition.""The features that we like the most are the Backup Copy and Active Directory Integration. They have helped us to save a lot of time since we do not have to make the backup copies “by hand”."

Cons
"It could include more of a backup and recovery.""It is for site-to-site replication. When something goes wrong on your site, you only get 15 minutes before it also goes wrong on your replicated site. There should be some way to be able to say that we want to restore it, but we want to restore it to the version from yesterday. It should support versioning. I would also like to see real-time scanning for advanced threat protection, more straightforward billing, and quicker turnaround on the tech support.""Site Recovery's scalability could be improved.""The tool should improve synchronization.""Azure Site Recovery's deployment is complex. There are a lot of bugs, and it needs to improve stability.""Could have more integration with other platforms.""The solution needs to improve replication and failover processes. We are still looking for improvements in the cost baseline.""When it runs, it runs well but when it doesn't run, the solution needs to make it clearer as to why and what the troubleshooting process is. All this would be possible if the error logging was streamlined a bit."

More Azure Site Recovery Cons →

"While Nakivo delivers comprehensive solutions, there's room for enhancement, particularly regarding Proxmox support.""We are satisfied with Nakivo, but if anything could be improved, I think it would be more real-time as opposed to email support availability.""I would love to see compatibility with KVM Backup.""It would be great if the product could be expanded to support other virtual technologies.""Integrations maybe helpful for NAKIVO. I think end-to-end backup and user backup will be useful to have. The price could be reduced as well. I also think that AD integration should be more available.""At the moment I am pleased with what Nakivo does but I would like more reporting functions and if possible, integration with my RMM system.""Updating VM Tools on a replicated VM could be better.""Using an independent bootable media to restore full physical machines would enable physical machines that may be serving as Nakivo Director or Transport machines to be reliably restored to service without undue delay, ensuring that an enterprise's local environment remains intact."
