From the beginning, I have appreciated how simple and intuitive the software is to use. I practically never needed to read the documentation to perform basic backup or restore operations. The online help for advanced features is very well organized and descriptive. Microsoft 365 and Proxmox support are among the most important of multiple features added over the years. > > **Cons**: - 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. > > It is still the solution to be chosen, so I recommend that everyone try it before buying another variant. ----- ### "Efficient, Reliable, and User-Friendly Backup Solution with Strong Recovery Features" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *9 September 2025* | Farming | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I liked NAKIVO Backup \& Replication most for its simplicity and efficiency, with a clean, intuitive web interface, flexible deployment options (NAS, Linux, Windows, or virtual appliance), application-aware backups for SQL, Exchange, and Active Directory, instant VM recovery, granular restores, and robust features like immutable repositories, encryption, and global deduplication that ensure fast, reliable, and secure data protection. > > **Cons**: What I liked least about NAKIVO Backup \& Replication is that some advanced features require higher license editions, reporting and monitoring are limited, and complex deployments may need more guidance. ----- ### "not great, not terrible" — 3.0/5 > **Jakub** | *8 June 2022* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: Possibility of backing up all our platfroms is plus for me. > > **Cons**: Any update is pain. There is huge chance that software update wont end well and you have to contact support to help you with remediation. Support is also not best i saw out there. ----- ### "Go get Nakivo. It works\!" — 5.0/5 > **Mike** | *12 June 2026* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to use and very reliable. Works like a well oiled machine with my Synology NAS and the user interface is super easy to use. > > **Cons**: ...nothing to mention here. > > I’ve been using NAKIVO for a while now and I’m really super happy with it. The software just works perfectly in the background, and I haven't had a single issue with my backups. What really stands out is the customer service. Whenever I have a question, my dedicated contact person responds incredibly fast, and the communication is always smooth and friendly. It’s a totally stress-free solution with great personal support behind it. Highly recommended\! ----- ### "Good Product, Quick Support" — 5.0/5 > **David** | *14 October 2025* | Media Production | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Works for years without any problem. Support is always reachable and reacts fast. Transporters for many systems are available, great for our structure, where the backup storage is directly connected to a single server and not in the same network as our virtualisation machines. > > **Cons**: Make it easier to restore single files from Linux machines, it does not support direct downloads on the web GUI when source is ext4. > > Easy to install, easy to use, with reliable and fast-reacting support, always friendly and also providing remote sessions. ----- Page: 1 / 20\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/423720/nakivo-backup-and-replication?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/423720/nakivo-backup-and-replication) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
