Automated backups have increased user trust and ensured reliable multi-region disaster recovery

While I think the integration of Infrascale Backup & Disaster Recovery is pretty seamless, the backup takes slightly more time to complete, which could also be because of the huge data in our databases. The networking flow can definitely improve, which could speed up the scale at which backups are performed. Increased availability into more regions would be beneficial. Currently, Infrascale Backup & Disaster Recovery is limited to certain regions in the world, but there could be customers who would want to use it in Mumbai or other parts of the globe. That would increase their use case and help cater to more customers across the world.

Has improved cost efficiency and streamlined disaster recovery operations through flexible deployment options

The best features of Nutanix Disaster Recovery as a Service are the high availability and failover capabilities. The majority of customers use the One-Click Disaster Recovery orchestration feature, and they are very satisfied with it. One-Click Disaster Recovery improves the overall business processes within an organization. I am very satisfied with its performance, and our customers are equally satisfied. Nutanix Disaster Recovery as a Service's effectiveness in seamless failover to secondary sites is exceptional. The Recovery Point Objective is very small and fast. The metro availability and synchronous replication between different sites work very well. Disaster Recovery Orchestration is also good. The cloud disaster recovery as a service functionality is more than sufficient. Nutanix Disaster Recovery as a Service's audit-proof reporting assists with compliance needs in Saudi Arabia, where we have different compliance certificates. It needs to work more to comply with all available certificates for compliance, including healthcare, financial sector, and Aramco-specific requirements. The positive impact includes cost efficiency, which is the most important point. The pay-as-you-grow model works effectively. The operation is good, and the flexibility for options such as on-premise synchronization, near synchronization, or cloud-based solutions is beneficial. Everything is available within the Nutanix platform, built-in, without extra complexity or fees.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 experience that we have had with this product is generally good."

"The initial setup was straightforward and we received support from the manufacturer."

"The overall ease of use and management of the solution using the Infrascale Dashboard is very good. We haven't had any issues. It is easy to learn. Most of our techs who deal with backups are usually up and running with the dashboard within a day or so. They don't have a lot of buried features where you have to dig through things to get to the resolution. It is pretty self-explanatory."

"The best part is the possibility to spill over the lock-ups to the cloud and the spin-up part."

"From a backup and disaster recovery perspective, it has been a night and day difference."

"The program excels at recovering files and folders, both locally and in the cloud, and their team is extremely responsive, which is crucial for service delivery."

"For me, Infrascale had the best package to offer to my customers, including features, pricing, implementation, and support; everything that comprises the total solution."

More Infrascale Backup & Disaster Recovery pros

"It is a very secure and scalable solution, and their support is also outstanding."

"It offers synchronous data replication, allowing us to sync our recovery data every hour and efficiently send applications to remote sites."

"The best features of Nutanix Disaster Recovery as a Service include real-time synchronization with the best RTO and RPO, inbuilt data protection with snapshot feature functionality, automatic DR site upgrades, ISO certified compliance reporting, and seamless integration with over 1800 certified software applications."

"One-Click Disaster Recovery improves the overall business processes within an organization, I am very satisfied with its performance, and our customers are equally satisfied."

"We haven't needed anyone to maintain or deploy the solution. The traditional Nutanix administrator can administer the solution."

"The tool's most valuable feature is ease of use."

"The most valuable feature is its simplicity."

"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

Cons

"User interface and navigation are also not that good."

"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."

"Their margin from what they're wholesale and their MSRP is kind of tight for people who have to manage it."

"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."

"There could be some room for improvement in the on-premises hardware selection."

"I think they could increase security. I would like to see more features for the section on the viruses and maybe another in reference to two-factor authentication."

"One of the significant drawbacks of it is due to the fact that we're using two devices to manage the same vCenter, or virtualization environment, and they don't talk to each other. That means I can't easily see what VMs are already being protected. If I'm on Infrascale device "A" and I have protected these VMs, when I go over to device "B," I can't see that those VMs are already covered."

"They set me up as a vendor, not as a client. So sometimes I end up in the wrong portal and I'm doing vendor things instead of client things, and I didn't realize that right away. Once I figured it out I just changed my favorites on my desktop to go to the client-side."

More Infrascale Backup & Disaster Recovery cons

"The solution needs improvement in cost."

"I think that Nutanix should support public clouds instead of the Nutanix data centers."

"Reporting would be a lot better. They need better reporting on the environment."

"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."

"It needs to work more to comply with all available certificates for compliance, including healthcare, financial sector, and Aramco-specific requirements."

"The pricing could be better."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is fair, and they are interested in working with MSPs as part of their market."

"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."

"They are incredibly fair and willing to work with their partners to make their pricing work for both partners and the end users."

"You get unlimited clients and buy a bucket of space. In addition to the standard fees there were setup fees."

"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."

"I appreciate their pricing. We went for this solution for its pricing."

"The licensing is based on how much data you have plus what appliances you need."

More Infrascale Backup & Disaster Recovery pricing and cost advice

"I always want it to be cheaper."

"It is a little bit cheaper than the other products in the market. It is affordable."

"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."

"One-time costs may initially seem high, but they reflect the quality of the service received."
