Lacks multi-platform support and physical infrastructure but excels in storage optimization
We use it for VM backup and Office 365 backup I find the solution to be user-friendly and easy to manage and deploy. It provides storage for Office 365, which is beneficial, and the deduplication technology is excellent, especially in optimizing storage capacity compared to others. In terms of…
Ingvar  Ingason - PeerSpot reviewer
An affordable product that offers a reasonably good technical support
I rate the product's initial setup phase an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is a difficult setup phase, and ten is an easy setup phase. The product's installation phase took me around two weeks. On average, it usually takes about a week or two to deploy when everything is in place. The solution is deployed on a hybrid cloud from Azure.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The ability to test the backups without having to manually mount the VHDs after restore allows us to check the integrity of the backups."
"VM backup and the item level recovery are the most valuable features."
"I find the solution to be user-friendly and easy to manage and deploy."
"Excellent compression and deduplication with off-site WAN backup included."
"All of the features are fantastic and also the management from Microsoft dealing with multiple machines is great. The whole package is excellent for me."
"It is an excellent product. It is easy to deploy, stable, and fast. Their support is excellent."
"The product has many valuable features for handling backup needs, including replication, live migration, and incremental disaster recovery."
"We use the latest feature in Altaro called CDP (Continuous Data Protection) to back up our VMs as often as every five minutes. It allows us to make sure no data is accidentally deleted or overwritten."
"We use this solution as an integrated backup solution and it is integrated from the backup provider to the Nutanix solution."
"I like the autofill-over feature and the simplicity of the solution."
"We find the ease of use valuable."
"Nutanix can converge legacy-style rack mount servers, so it is highly scalable."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...I rate the technical support a nine out of ten."
"Nutanix has its own backup system known as HYCU, as well as its own virtual server."
 

Cons

"Stability."
"If you look into the performance of a virtual machine and you look to the performance of the physical machine, the correlation between these is totally unclear."
"The solution needs multi-platform support as it is currently only available for VMware and Hyper-V."
"It would be nice to be able to recover the items to their original location."
"The scalability of the solution is limited."
"Availability of physical server backup would be an added advantage."
"It would be nice to see a feature that backs up the host so that, in case of a server failure, an entire server could be restored all at once."
"Basically, how it works is that you have a single local drive, and then you have a cloud backup. It'd be nice if you could rotate the single local backup drive. As of now, you can't."
"Nutanix is not secure enough, and it needs to be more resilient."
"The price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"This solution could be improved with regards to the hosts that integrate with the platform itself. Each of the hosts integrated with the storage and networking only provide one instance of a backup."
"It could be cheaper."
"The solution's setup process should be simplified."
"I would like to see the multi-cloud improve."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is okay,"
"Altaro had the best prices and ROI in the whole bunch that we evaluated."
"The price is great for the utility you get and the licensing has never caused any issues with my company."
"Its yearly maintenance fee is fairly high for me to renew for upgrades and support."
"​By implementing the solution at multiple locations, significant cost savings were achieved."
"Altaro VM Backup is affordably priced. It is a best value for its price and has almost every feature that an expensive, popular product offers."
"VMware is a little pricey, but it is a good solution and priced similar to other products."
"There is a free version for Hosts with 2 VMs."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is affordable or low, and ten is expensive or high, I rate the price as two."
"I rate the pricing a five out of ten because the price is average."
"Nutanix Mine Integrated Backup is fairly priced."
"While Nutanix Mine is extremely expensive for small businesses, it is a very cost-effective product for enterprise businesses."
