Performs well, easy to manage, resilient, and the technical support is helpful

A stable and scalable backup solution that has a good recovery data backup feature
Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It offers synchronous data replication, allowing us to sync our recovery data every hour and efficiently send applications to remote sites.""It is a very secure and scalable solution, and their support is also outstanding.""The solution is stable.""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."

More Nutanix Disaster Recovery as a Service Pros →

"I like that the solution is very simple to install.""It's very easy to work with and it's very reliable.""I have found the backup call feature very good.""The most valuable feature of Veeam Backup & Replication is the ease of use.""The most important part is that you actually know you have a backup of the whole virtual server.""Its backup capabilities in general are great.""Recovery of backup data is the most valuable feature.""If you have a lot of central sites and remote sites, you can easily set up the replication and make it easier."

More Veeam Backup & Replication Pros →

Cons
"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.""The product is more costly than other platforms. The price could be better.""They need better reporting on the environment.""I think that Nutanix should support public clouds instead of the Nutanix data centers.""The pricing could be better."

More Nutanix Disaster Recovery as a Service Cons →

"The backup and integration could be improved.""While the Veeam Backup Replication tool can mostly back up all the data in the environment, the AIX from IBM backup capabilities nowadays could stand improvement as they are not featured on a single pane of glass.""We would like to have the ability to perform more things on the web interface. The heavy client is still needed to perform advanced tasks.""The initial setup is complex.""Occasionally, in the course of upgrading one's virtualization platform, the backup can be ruined.""Unfortunately, the software only runs on Windows.""They fixed everything that I was hoping for. It is pretty good. There were a few things in 9.x that I was wishing for, and they came true in version 10. We were looking for retention without having to make a copy job. We're getting ready to migrate m365 to the cloud. I haven't dived into it to make sure, but I wish the m365 backup would integrate into the current console so that we don't have to use two different consoles.""The scalability of the product in large organizations is an area of concern where improvements are required."

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."

    VMware SRM vs. Veeam vs. Zerto
    Disaster recovery planning is something that seems challenging for all businesses. Virtualization in addition to its operational flexibility, and cost reduction benefits, has helped companies improve their DR posture. Virtualization has made it easier to move machines from production to recovery sites, but many of the disaster recovery tools today still function at the storage layer. Legacy technologies like storage array snapshots, and LUN based replication restrict the configuration options of upstream technologies like VMware Storage DRS. If you wanted to replicate a virtual machine you had to replicate the entire LUN is resided on. You weren’t free to leverage Storage DRS for its automated performance balancing features because a VM could be migrated from one LUN mucking up your storage based replication. Fortunately over the past few years there’s been great advancement in hypervisor based replication technologies. There’s a wealth of competing products vying for customer attention. As always competition drives innovation and value for the consumer. This will be the first of a 4 part blog series that looks at various hypervisor based disaster recovery products. Note this isn’t a review of backup products which is a separate category, we are looking at products specifically designed to assist companies in a disaster scenario. Before talking about products; however, we should understand their underlying architectures, and how it relates to their… Read more →

    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.”
