Its user-friendliness and consolidated dashboard make backups and recovery very easy
Having a single dashboard makes management and monitoring easier because you do not have to log into multiple services and multiple dashboards in order to gather the same information. It is always nice to have a consolidated view of your data and how you are performing your day-to-day operations with backup and recovery if you need to recover any file. It is very easy to restore data. The user interface or the dashboard is very intuitive. It is very easy to use, making it easy to recover or replicate any files. It is extremely important for us that Infrascale has the ability to recover data from any point in time. Data is the jewel crown of any business. If you do not have the right data, you are going to face many challenges in running your business. It is important to recover and restore the right data at the right time so that it does not impact your business and your bottom line.

Integrated backups and orchestration have protected critical workloads with zero downtime
Pricing is always a consideration because nowadays the price has increased a lot. We bought our system five years ago and we paid in advance, so we are not yet affected by the price increase. However, we are planning to buy another solution in the very near future because the old one is now phasing out. We are planning to buy a replacement of the existing infrastructure and we are facing a lot of cost issues because they increased the price. Previously it was per socket. Now they moved to per core with many other restrictions. Our experience over the last five years has been very positive, but nowadays we find that Nutanix support is degraded. They started reducing their support. Their new functionality is not as stable. Nutanix has added Kubernetes cluster creation, segmentation, and micro-segmentation. Even their support people are not fully knowledgeable. Their support people are trained for VM-based systems, but now their own internal services are running using Kubernetes and containerization. Their support staff does not have enough knowledge to provide proper support. This may be a transition period where a lot of new functionality has been added and the support staff is not yet well acquainted with it.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"For this particular client, the solution’s Critical Server Insurance feature that protects physical and virtual servers including Windows, Linux, VMware, and Hyper-V, was a very big factor as well. They have a bunch of physical servers, as well as virtual. The mix is predominantly virtual. They also have some NAS boxes that we back up using Infrascale."
"The overall ease of use and ease of management of the solution using the Infrascale dashboard is excellent. I'd rate it 10 out of 10 because the dashboard is very simple to use. For someone with a technical background, it's a wonderful piece of software to be using in a cloud environment. But if you're not technical, then it might be a problem. It could be confusing for non-technical people. If you don't know what you're doing, you could kind of screw it up. Any human with two brain cells can do it. It's like anything else. So, once you train a human, they're good. Anybody can do it. Anybody with a competent brain can use it and go with a little bit of technical skill. It might be confusing in the beginning, but once you're trained up and you've used it a little bit, like anything else in your life, it'll be easy. They'll come as normal."
"The ease of use is valuable. It is user-friendly. Performing backup and recovery can be done very intuitively with the solution and the interface that is part of the solution."
"The most valuable feature is disaster recovery, where we have the ability to boot up VMs quickly in a disaster."
"The interface of Infrascale Backup & Disaster Recovery is very easy to use, and there are no problems. It's set it and forget it. You can make adjustments very easily as well."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it is simple to use."
"The initial setup was straightforward and we received support from the manufacturer."
"Get Infrascale and talk to their team. They will support you, and they will make you the happiest customer out there."
"Nutanix Disaster Recovery needs to have a feature that can automate manual tasks."
"The product is very simple and very easy to use."
"The initial setup of Nutanix Disaster Recovery is straightforward and easy."
"For the last five years, we have had zero downtime."
"The main benefits I've seen from using Nutanix Disaster Recovery include its single platform, which is significantly better than VMware, offering improved security, scalability, and multiple communication options."
"The most valuable feature of Nutanix Disaster Recovery is the local storage solution, which significantly boosts performance, especially when transitioning from traditional architecture."
"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."
 

Cons

"I'm a little bit disappointed that over the last year and a half, there hasn't been too much contact from them regarding what's going to be new or coming out."
"There could be some room for improvement in the on-premises hardware selection. It is hard for them to deploy a lot of different hardware options. Depending on footprint size and overall capabilities, that is where there could be some flexibility in some cases. However, it is not a deal-breaker."
"I would like to be able to limit the bandwidth in cases, for example, where we are uploading the backup."
"In terms of what I would like to see, it would be to make the solution available across multiple clouds."
"There is room for improvement by making the interface a little more intuitive when navigating to recover flat files or an old server."
"When you are ordering hardware appliances, they have to be delivered from America. In the past, hard drives on the appliance have been simple SSD drives that are installed. However, they don't have a local supply for the SSD drives in the UK. They have to be exported from the US, arrive, and then I have to go and install them. Then, they will rebuild it from their side of things. However, I could order that same SSD drive online and get it the next day. So, I have to wait days for things to come when I could get the exact same drive the next day in the UK, if I wanted to. That causes a bit of a problem. I don't know how many businesses they have in the UK, but I do think that having to import stuff from the US is a time-consuming problem. If there was a holding in the UK, then we wouldn't have that delay in time."
"When the product works, there is really nothing to fix, but they can allow different types of backups, such as differential or incremental backups."
"The pricing model that they recently changed to is a little bit complicated, and the biggest area for improvement is a better way of figuring out how to price it."
"Nowadays we find that Nutanix support is degraded. They started reducing their support."
"The major issue with Nutanix is its appliance-based model, which can lead to vendor lock-in."
"Nutanix Disaster Recovery needs to have a feature that can automate manual tasks."
"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 product must allow users to create a production domain on the main site in one hypervisor and a backup site on another."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is pretty good and competitive with the market. The per-terabyte pricing is very competitive compared to the others."
"Our licensing fees are billed every four months."
"The appliances have different prices because of storage, size, and memory. For example, the older machines support more virtual machines, whereas the new one only supports one virtual machine. As we have purchased the later appliances, they have probably been a little bit more expensive because they have to be good enough to keep the business running if the physical server goes down. We learned our lesson from the one that went down when we tried to run products and it wasn't quick enough."
"Infrascale's pricing, to me, was outstanding and was one of the major factors in my decision to go with Infrascale... My customer had a different solution before and his monthly payment was three times as much as the payment he now has with Infrascale."
"Pricing of the product could be improved. It definitely makes it a harder sell. They will usually end up getting close to the price we need, but I have to go through everybody to get the price reduced. Their list pricing is significantly higher than that of other solutions."
"You get unlimited clients and buy a bucket of space. In addition to the standard fees there were setup fees."
"They are incredibly fair and willing to work with their partners to make their pricing work for both partners and the end users."
"The pricing is fair, and they are interested in working with MSPs as part of their market."
"Nutanix Disaster Recovery is a cheap solution."
"The solution’s pricing is good."
