Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It is a very secure and scalable solution, and their support is also outstanding.""It offers synchronous data replication, allowing us to sync our recovery data every hour and efficiently send applications to remote sites.""The solution is stable.""The tool's most valuable feature is ease of use.""We haven't needed anyone to maintain or deploy the solution. The traditional Nutanix administrator can administer the solution.""Hyper-convergence gives me the ability to patch my firmware, software, and hypervisors with a single click. That is extremely useful."

"Its portability and being able to back up between different platforms are the most valuable features.""They introduced a new feature called the Immutable Repository feature, which helps protect environments from malware attacks that target backup file extensions.""I like how Veeam intuitively integrates with Zerto.""Vendor integration for many of the enterprise features have allowed for us to have greater performance from our storage vendors further improving on our commitments to protect our clients' data.""With regard to our operational requirements, Veeam is very good because it's so user-friendly.""The ability to offload backup snapshots to the SAN helps with reducing the backup durations.""A simple and stable solution for small businesses that use virtualization.""The data backup replication has been the most useful feature. Previously, we copied the data hub to an external hard drive but now we are able to store the backup on one of the depository service."

Cons
"They need better reporting on the environment.""The product is more costly than other platforms. The price could be better.""The pricing could be better.""I think that Nutanix should support public clouds instead of the Nutanix data centers.""The solution needs improvement in cost.""For moving the data for DR, we are using Megaport. We are using a Megaport link between the data centers, so we have a third party for the site-to-site connectivity between the data centers. If such connectivity is available from the Nutanix side, it would be helpful for us."

"It would be nice to see more affordable training options for individuals who want to enhance their skills. Some people I know have been interested in training courses, but they found them too expensive.""The recovery and integration features of Veeam Backup Replication could improve. For example, all VM integration could improve, such as with Hyper-V and VMware.""The endpoint protection console is not centralized.""The initial setup is not always easy, and customers often need a lot of help to get Veeam up and running successfully.""The licensing models, from a reseller's perspective, could be better.""The whole graphical user interface is very easy, but the details are hidden deeply and aren't easily visible. You cannot easily see the details and explore or choose the settings. We should be able to easily explore various settings and options. If you can see more details while choosing the settings or setting it up, it helps in getting the software running easily. For example, in Microsoft Office, you can see much more in the interface than in Veeam Backup & Replication. It is a complex software. It is not easy to use, and you must know what to do and where to do. The user manual has more than a thousand pages. They should give some direct information through the software and improve the software. On their website, they can have some videos and step-by-step information to make us come straight to our goals.""Pricing can be improved.""The ease of use could be improved, but I don't have a very deep amount of experience in Veeam, so it's difficult to say what could be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Besides the license, there are additional costs with the network connection. The customer may want a direct connection between the two data centers and that has an extra cost."
  • "I always want it to be cheaper."
  • "One-time costs may initially seem high, but they reflect the quality of the service received."
  • "It is a little bit cheaper than the other products in the market. It is affordable."
  • More Nutanix Disaster Recovery as a Service Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "If you have Exchange, Oracle, SQL, or a supported SAN, then I suggest getting at least an Enterprise edition. It’ll pay for itself in no time."
  • "The pricing and licensing is better than the competitors, but it could be better."
  • "Room for improvement is actually more in the way of licensing. The really good and useful features are in the Enterprise plus edition, and that one is really expensive."
  • "Since pricing is per socket, it is not expensive to add capacity as you go along."
  • "The licensing is based on the number of cores you have in your ESX or Hyper-V environment."
  • "The price is a bit high. Licensing type is VMware friendly, so it is easy."
  • "I think the price is good when you choose the Essentials Suite, but when you buy a full featured version (for instance the Enterprise Plus) the price is a little bit expensive."
  • "Setup cost and licensing of Veeam are nothing to complain about when compared to similar products for enterprise backup recovery solutions."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Veeam Backup & Replication is a solution that stands out when compared to many of its competitors. Some of its major advantages are its ease of set up, the fact that it is agentless, and that it has an intuitive dashboard. 

    A Network Operations Manager at an educational organization says, "Integration with VMware is excellent with very granular recovery."

    An Inside Solutions Architect at a tech services company mentions, “I like that it's agent-less, easy to set up, and hardware-agnostic.”

    An Account Manager at a tech services company states, “The dashboard is very, very easy to understand. We do demonstrations all the time with customers just to show them. If they've lost particular files because of a server going down, we can retrieve those files for them and quickly bring those files back up.”

    Kerem C., Director of Professional Services/Senior Solution Architect/Trainer at a tech services company, explains, “It's good for backup performance management and backup window management.”
