My main use case for NAKIVO Backup & Replication is backup of our VMware vSphere backups.
I have jobs for VMware vSphere backups every day, which is a quick specific example of how I use it.
I only do backups for recovery purposes, specifically for disaster recovery.
The best feature that NAKIVO Backup & Replication offers is the Kingburn interface.
The ease of use is what makes the Kingburn interface so valuable to me.
It has saved time and reduced risk while automating backups and ensuring ready to go recoveries.
NAKIVO Backup & Replication has positively impacted my organization with efficiency and very low backup speed, replication, and instant recovery that have really improved our workflow.
I wish NAKIVO Backup & Replication did better with more detailed reports.
The interface is good, but I need reports as an area of needed improvement.
I have been using NAKIVO Backup & Replication for one year.
In my experience, NAKIVO Backup & Replication is more stable.
I previously used Veeam Backup for AWS before switching to NAKIVO Backup & Replication.
Before choosing NAKIVO Backup & Replication, I evaluated Veeam Backup for AWS and Azure.
I advise others looking into using NAKIVO Backup & Replication that it is an easy to use, managed solution with low cost. I would rate this product an 8.
We use NAKIVO Backup & Replication to replicate our workloads, as we run the VMware vSphere environment, allowing us to replicate those servers or VMs from production to DR.
Recently, just a few weeks ago, we had an issue with our storage on which the VMs were hosted, and thankfully, because we were running NAKIVO Backup & Replication, we had already replicated the servers from production to DR, so when the storage in production went off, we were able to bring up the servers at the DR site without any interruption, with just minimal data loss.
NAKIVO Backup & Replication has been useful; in terms of licensing, it is way cheaper than other solutions, and setting it up in terms of implementation was easier and not difficult to do. The user interface is friendly and straightforward to use.
The best features NAKIVO Backup & Replication offers in my experience include the VMware replication jobs, which allow us to schedule the replication of servers at specific times and move them as quickly as possible. The Change Block Technology (CBT) aspect helps us check if data has really moved without even turning on the server, by just looking at the reports that have been sent, making it a beneficial feature.
NAKIVO Backup & Replication has positively impacted our organization by providing much cheaper pricing compared to other solutions, which means we have saved more money, and integrating it with our solution, the VMware vSphere, is not challenging.
It would be helpful if NAKIVO Backup & Replication could explore other areas such as UNIX environments, like IBM AIX server versions, since most of the core banking applications sit on those, which we need to back up and integrate.
I have been working in my current field for over a year, and I have been using NAKIVO Backup & Replication for over two years, with a year in my previous employment and more than a year in the current role.
NAKIVO Backup & Replication is generally stable in my environment as it relies on the network to do its migration, so while it is stable overall, a stable network is necessary for it to run effectively.
NAKIVO Backup & Replication is easy to scale up; we recently deployed a number of transporters in our two environments, making scaling straightforward.
My experience with customer support for NAKIVO Backup & Replication has been largely positive; they are mostly available on weekdays, but if you need assistance on a weekend, you have to notify them in advance, making weekend support a bit challenging.
Positive
I have had experience using Veeam, but my institution was using a different solution that lacked efficient replication features, leading us to switch to NAKIVO Backup & Replication, which offers easy use, flexibility, and a user-friendly interface. Previously, we were using Iperius, which was not too efficient.
I do not have much information on the return on investment, but I can say that if we were to go for other solutions such as Veeam, we would have paid much more, considering the number of servers we use in our environment. In terms of money, we have saved more, and because we are able to replicate everything from production to DR, we can now seamlessly work in any environment we want without needing many employees, as just one person in a single pane of glass can handle the switching.
Before choosing NAKIVO Backup & Replication, we evaluated other options, including Veeam and Iperius. Since Veeam charges per instance and had high costs based on the instances, we opted for NAKIVO Backup & Replication, which charges per number of sockets and does almost everything Veeam does, making it a better choice for us.
I think NAKIVO Backup & Replication is a good tool and I would recommend it to anybody.

My main use case for NAKIVO Backup & Replication is that I use it for replicas.
I can give a quick, specific example of how I use NAKIVO Backup & Replication for replicas in my work, as I use it for replicating all machines and data centers for all my customers, specifically MSP.
I handle replication for my customers with a file server, monitoring for the data center, specifically Hyper-V, and for cloning information for file servers and physical servers too.
