Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It's on the cheaper side and not too expensive for users.""It provides our disaster recovery solution. It works fine in our tests.​""The most valuable aspect of CloudEndure Disaster Recovery is its instant block replication feature. This allows us to perform live block verification and eliminates the need to concern ourselves with recovery point objectives. This capability is particularly advantageous for critical workloads.""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.""CloudEndure Disaster Recovery is a fairly stable solution.""The initial setup is pretty straightforward, it's not complex.""We have never had any issues with scalability.""​The initial setup is really straightforward."

"Hyper-convergence gives me the ability to patch my firmware, software, and hypervisors with a single click. That is extremely useful.""We haven't needed anyone to maintain or deploy the solution. The traditional Nutanix administrator can administer the solution.""The solution is stable."

Cons
"The only thing I would like to see is, they don't have a formal ticketing system. There is no way I can go back and see what questions we had six months back, what issues we had, and how they were resolved.""I would like to see better support for creating and working with archives.""The UI could be a little sleeker.""The solution's network setup and a lot of the control tower setup could be improved.""The bandwidth is a constant upload communication to the AWS DR environment, so if you do not have the proper bandwidth, it will definitely eat up your internet line.""The failback could be improved. It should be more intuitive.""I set up a test, deleted the source, and went to fail it back, and it didn't work.""I have not seen any areas that need improvement at this time."

"The pricing could be better.""They need better reporting on the environment.""I think that Nutanix should support public clouds instead of the Nutanix data centers."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "We were happy with the pricing that they gave us."
  • "They license us on a per machine basis. We have a set number of machines, which we have licensed.​"
  • "I feel the product's pricing is a good value. Licensing is pretty straightforward."
  • "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."
  • "CloudEndure Disaster Recovery is charging clients $20 to do the DR backups. It is an expensive solution."
  • "I rate the price of CloudEndure Disaster Recovery a six out of ten."
  • More AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery 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."

    Top Answer:The solution never reduced our system's downtime. It would take us about a day to get the network configured properly for even doing a network failover test. The solution's orchestration capabilities… more »
    Top Answer:The solution is a bit expensive. Not all customers can afford it. I can't speak about the actual cost. That's handled by our sales department.

    Overview

    AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery (AWS DRS) minimizes downtime and data loss with fast, reliable recovery of on-premises and cloud-based applications using affordable storage, minimal compute, and point-in-time recovery.

    Set up AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery on your source servers to initiate secure data replication. Your data is replicated to a staging area subnet in your AWS account, in the AWS Region you select. The staging area design reduces costs by using affordable storage and minimal compute resources to maintain ongoing replication. You can perform non-disruptive tests to confirm that implementation is complete. During normal operation, maintain readiness by monitoring replication and periodically performing non-disruptive recovery and failback drills. If you need to recover applications, you can launch recovery instances on AWS within minutes, using the most up-to-date server state or a previous point in time. After your applications are running on AWS, you can choose to keep them there, or you can initiate data replication back to your primary site when the issue is resolved. You can fail back to your primary site whenever you’re ready.

    Nutanix Disaster Recovery-as-a-Service (DRaaS) is a fully managed DR service that eliminates the need for a dedicated DR site, minimizes data loss and downtime, and helps organizations meet RTO/RPO SLAs confidently.
