NAKIVO Earns Recognition
Gartner^® Peer Insights^TM Voice of the Customer Report Enterprise Backup and Recovery Solutions

“With our previous product, we could not back up our physical servers and workstations… With NAKIVO Backup & Replication, we not only keep public services running but also save a couple of thousand dollars per year”.

Dan Bender, a CTO at NetManagetIT and Lead Engineer in the Town of DeWitt

“Previously, we spent much time on backup administration, and the backups of physical servers were always a problem. Now, …our IT team can focus on further developing our IT infrastructure, knowing that our data is safe”.

Yurii Sakhnovych, IT Security Manager at Crossinx GmbH

What can I protect with NAKIVO Free Edition?

NAKIVO Free Edition lets you protect up to 10 Windows and Linux servers or 30 Windows workstations for one year at no cost. You can also use those licenses to protect up to 10 virtual or cloud workloads, including VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V, Nutanix AHV, Proxmox VE and Amazon EC2, plus up to 5 Microsoft 365 users.

How is NAKIVO Free Edition different from the Free Trial?

NAKIVO offers two ways to evaluate the solution:

Free Edition includes all features available in Pro Edition and can be used free for one year to protect up to 10 workloads (or up to 30 Windows workstations) plus 5 Microsoft 365 users.
Free Trial provides access to all features and editions for 15 days, with no workload limits.

Choose Free Edition if you want ongoing protection for a small environment at no cost. Choose the Free Trial if you want to test advanced capabilities available in higher editions, such as backup to cloud and tape, disaster recovery and automation features.
