## Reviews

### "Great backup solution for VMware" — 5.0/5

> **Jacob** | *December 27, 2024* | Machinery | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Self-hosted, Linux compatible and cheaper than Veeam.
> 
> **Cons**: The UI could be a bit more user friendly. Not compatible with Xen Orchestra at time of writing.
> 
> Nakivo has been great for our company. We already used it to recover one of our virtual machines that someone broke by accident :)

-----

### "Low cost simple solution" — 4.0/5

> **Clinton** | *April 9, 2024* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It's easy to setup and costs about a 1/4 of the price for the product I was previously using.
> 
> **Cons**: The language around how the licensing is laid out is a bit confusing.
> 
> So far the experience with the product has been great. Minor hiccup with my licensing but quickly sorted out.

-----

### "The best out there" — 5.0/5

> **Abdulla** | *August 6, 2025* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It offers excellent user-friendliness, a clean and intuitive user interface, is easy to manage and maintain, packed with useful features, and remains cost-effective, making it a great overall choice.
> 
> **Cons**: At the moment, I don’t have any additional points as everything I can think of is already included as a feature.
> 
> My overall experience with NAKIVO Backup \&amp; Replication has been outstanding. It's by far the best backup solution I've ever used—reliable, efficient, and packed with powerful features. I now confidently recommend it to my friends and colleagues.

### "The tool for the moment" — 5.0/5

> **Wisdom** | *October 16, 2025* | Banking | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Nakivo Backup and Replication is easy to implement, has a friendly user interface and it is easy to use.
> 
> **Cons**: I would like the Nakivo team to explore backing up or replicating supporting platforms such as the IBM AIX servers
> 
> From customer support, technical support to licensing makes Nakivo the best solution on the market. It also allows easy integration with other third party solutions such as Active Directory.

-----

### "Reliable, Cost-Effective Backup That Just Works" — 4.0/5

> **Mark** | *February 27, 2026* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Reliable, straightforward, and "cost-effective." Deployment was simple, the interface is clean, and backup jobs are easy to manage.  It gives us solid protection without unnecessary complexity.  Customer support has been great\!
> 
> **Cons**: I would like to see a better scheduling interface or options.  Also, monitoring for Hyper V environment which is the only reason I don't give 5 stars ;-)
> 
> Overall, it’s been a dependable backup solution that does exactly what we need it to do. It provides strong VM protection, reliable restores, and good performance without the overhead or pricing of some larger enterprise platforms. For our environment, it strikes the right balance between capability and simplicity.
