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

“We saved 60% of our time spent on monitoring and maintaining the heterogeneous set of different backup applications. We are using the saved time to create more sophisticated backup and recovery strategies and have time to actually test VM recovery on a regular basis. NAKIVO brought confidence in our backups to a new level”.

Fabian Schmitz, IT Manager at Genius

“We did our due diligence online and found NAKIVO Backup & Replication to be reliable, easy-to-use, scalable, and efficient… IT monitoring provides a one-stop monitoring page that is extremely useful for visualizing the overall performance status of your system”.

Michel Gyebi, IT Network and Systems Engineer at E.W. Wylie

“I enjoy VMware monitoring functionality the most as the feature provides all the necessary information I need to proactively monitor the health of our environment. We configure alerts to quickly detect suspicious activities in the environment, and we can also view different kinds of reports”.

Archil Ivanishvili, Junior Infrastructure Solution Architect at LAB Technologies

FAQ

Are there any limitations when I use the Free Trial for IT monitoring for VMware?

No. You get full access to all IT monitoring features in NAKIVO — including real-time dashboards, performance alerts and vSphere reporting — for 15 days without any restrictions. The trial also includes the complete NAKIVO Backup & Replication feature set. After the trial expires, all features become inactive until you activate a license.

Can I extend the trial period?

Yes, it’s possible to do on request. To extend the Free Trial period, contact our Sales team.

What can I monitor with NAKIVO in my VMware environment?

You get full visibility into your vSphere infrastructure from a single dashboard. NAKIVO Backup & Replication monitors CPU, RAM and disk usage across up to 1,000 VMware vSphere VMs and 100 hosts. The solution also tracks datastore disk usage so you always know how much capacity is available. All metrics update in real time so you can spot and act on performance issues before they impact your workloads.

Can MSPs use NAKIVO to monitor multiple clients’ VMware environments?

Yes. The NAKIVO solution supports multi-tenancy mode, allowing you to create up to 100 isolated tenants and monitor the health and performance of their VMware vSphere VMs, hosts and datastores from a single console. Whether you’re managing client environments or remote and branch offices, you get full visibility across all of them without switching between tools or deployments.

Can I use NAKIVO for VMware monitoring and backup in the same trial?

Yes — and this is one of the key advantages of NAKIVO. The same 15-day Free Trial gives you full access to both IT monitoring and backup & replication features. You can protect your VMware VMs with scheduled backups while simultaneously monitoring their real-time performance, all from a single interface without deploying separate tools.

Do I need to submit credit card information to start the Free Trial?

No. To start your Free Trial, simply fill in the form with your name and email address. Once done, you receive the download link by email.

Can I set up performance alerts and notifications for VMware issues?

Yes. You can configure threshold-based alerts for any monitored metric. For example, trigger an email notification when a VM’s CPU usage exceeds 90% for more than 5 minutes. Alerts can be sent via email or integrated into your existing notification workflows so your team is informed of issues before they become outages.
