Managed services with seamless integration and good reliability

Since I have to view everything on the console, the previous application solutions like IBM and Sanavi showed the RPO and RTO status directly. In AWS Disaster Recovery Service, these details are not available, making it difficult to check my replication status. I have to calculate whether my data is replicated to the Adarabad region or not. These features, if available in AWS, would be beneficial.

Communication improvements enhance platform reliability while seamless recovery process supports application safety

I don't currently have knowledge of the best features of Nutanix Disaster Recovery. I don't have specific features in mind that are missing in Nutanix Disaster Recovery that I would like to see included in the future. I don't find Nutanix's pricing reasonable; my higher authority manages pricing discussions. I'm not aware of the pricing as it's usually handled by delivery managers and the architect team. I don't know of any disadvantages of Nutanix outside of the technical support issues previously mentioned, as I'm still comparing it with ongoing learning. I didn't face any challenges while starting to learn Nutanix Disaster Recovery; it has been straightforward. I would recommend Nutanix Disaster Recovery as there are no issues, and I ensure to explain everything regarding application safety and functionality to the application owners. On a scale of one to ten, I rate Nutanix Disaster Recovery an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It offers seamless integration with services like ACL, EKS, and Fargate for deploying containerized applications."

"The solution is dependent on the network bandwidth. For example, if they have a bandwidth of 10Mbps the solution will run a little heavier. If the bandwidth is good the solution runs well."

"What I like about ECR AWS is that it is a fully managed service, so I don't need to manage the underlying infrastructure or worry about scalability in AWS concerning building, maintenance, security, and high availability."

"The setup is pretty straightforward."

"We have never had any issues with scalability."

"We went from an organization with minimal to no disaster recovery. I was able to spin up the disaster recovery environment with AWS rather quickly and meet business requirements."

"AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery is a robust and reliable solution for disaster recovery needs."

"The strong points are the stability and scalability of the solution, as well as the convenience of it being cloud-based."

More AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery pros

"Nutanix Disaster Recovery needs to have a feature that can automate manual tasks."

"The most valuable feature of Nutanix Disaster Recovery is the reliability and scalability of being able to swing our workloads across the country."

"Nutanix Disaster Recovery can be used for snapshots, backup, and disaster recovery."

"The initial setup of Nutanix Disaster Recovery is straightforward and easy."

"The product is very simple and very easy to use."

"The most valuable feature of Nutanix Disaster Recovery is the local storage solution, which significantly boosts performance, especially when transitioning from traditional architecture."

Cons

"Definitely there should be better logging. From a customer perspective I would like to see more logs on what is happening. If there is an issue, I would like to know what the problem is. Right now, we have to depend on the support of the vendor to check and let us know, because we don't have access to a lot of logging information."

"The solution's network setup and a lot of the control tower setup could be improved."

"The cost of AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery is seen as expensive."

"The product could be improved by incorporating more AI-driven automation for deployment and additional security features. These enhancements would make the solution even more user-friendly and secure."

"The UI could be a little sleeker."

"An improved AWS pricing model is needed."

"I set up a test, deleted the source, and went to fail it back, and it didn't work."

"I would like to see better support for creating and working with archives."

More AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery cons

"The dashboard could be a bit refreshed, and some configuration parts could be less confusing."

"The solution should include a standard license for the object level and file level."

"The solution's bandwidth utilization can be improved further."

"The major issue with Nutanix is its appliance-based model, which can lead to vendor lock-in."

"The product must allow users to create a production domain on the main site in one hypervisor and a backup site on another."

"Nutanix Disaster Recovery needs to have a feature that can automate manual tasks."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"They license us on a per machine basis. We have a set number of machines, which we have licensed."

"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten."

"I feel the product's pricing is a good value. Licensing is pretty straightforward."

"We were happy with the pricing that they gave us."

"The pricing is better now that they had come out with the Tier 2 which replicates a little less often. In comparison to what I would have been spending with any other type of solution, the pricing is fair."

"Where the price adds up, there are CloudEndure licenses, then there is the AWS environment, and finally, there is the AWS storage, so cumulatively, it adds up."

"It has saved us money from having to buy hardware for disaster recovery."

"I rate the price of CloudEndure Disaster Recovery a six out of ten."
