PROS & CONS

What are the best aspects of this product?

What aspects are problematic or could work better?

Deleted VMs need to be taken out of the backup job manually.

What features/services would you like to see in future versions of this product?

None atm.

Easy, simple backup and restore solution for a small Nutanix AHV Cluster/Block of 3 Hosts. I will think about extending the use of Nakivo for all our VMs when the other contracts of a Nakivo competitor run out.
