Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Given that we are in the hurricane belt, the spin-up of replicated servers in the cloud is among the most valuable features. If our site goes down we can just connect to the cloud appliance, spin up the servers, and we are good to go.""The initial setup was straightforward and we received support from the manufacturer.""The Infrascale Dashboard is very easy to understand, has a good overview, and gives me access to all my appliances without having to have a local VPN connection to the individual clients. It makes it very easy to find my way around.""The most valuable feature is disaster recovery, where we have the ability to boot up VMs quickly in a disaster.""The most valuable feature of this solution is that it is simple to use.""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.""Its Critical Server Insurance feature for protecting physical and virtual servers, including Windows, Linux, VMware, and Hyper-V is mandatory for me and it makes me happy. If I had a backup solution that didn't do that, it would not be a backup solution and would not be any good.""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."

"It offers synchronous data replication, allowing us to sync our recovery data every hour and efficiently send applications to remote sites.""It is a very secure and scalable solution, and their support is also outstanding.""The solution is stable.""Hyper-convergence gives me the ability to patch my firmware, software, and hypervisors with a single click. That is extremely useful.""The tool's most valuable feature is ease of use.""We haven't needed anyone to maintain or deploy the solution. The traditional Nutanix administrator can administer the solution."

Cons
"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.""I would like to see more features for the section on the viruses and maybe another in reference to two-factor authentication.""I would like to be able to limit the bandwidth in cases, for example, where we are uploading the backup.""They can always make the GUI a little bit nicer, the interface level a bit better. There's always room for improvement.""Having options to replicate between their data centers, once the data is offsite, would be an improvement that they could make.""The only thing I would suggest, and I have talked to my manager about it already, is that they should have a direct backup-to-cloud solution. It should be something that does not require me to do an image backup, and then individual file and folder backups, to be able to restore individual files.""There is room for improvement by making the interface a little more intuitive when navigating to recover flat files or an old server.""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 →

"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 solution needs improvement in cost.""They need better reporting on the environment.""The pricing could be better.""The product is more costly than other platforms. The price could be better.""I think that Nutanix should support public clouds instead of the Nutanix data centers."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Our licensing fees are billed every four months."
  • "You get unlimited clients and buy a bucket of space. In addition to the standard fees there were setup fees."
  • "The licensing is based on how much data you have plus what appliances you need."
  • "The pricing is fair, and they are interested in working with MSPs as part of their market."
  • "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."
  • "It is super competitive. It is worth taking a look at it from a licensing and pricing perspective."
  • "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."
  • "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."

  • "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."
  • "One-time costs may initially seem high, but they reflect the quality of the service received."
  • "It is a little bit cheaper than the other products in the market. It is affordable."
