Featured Reviews

CONRAD FORREST - PeerSpot reviewer
President at MTS Consulting Group, Inc.
The solution provides the ability to backup all types of cloud drives, is inexpensive, and has decent support
MSP360 Backup provides the backup functionality, but we need to provide the storage component. We can use Azure, AWS, or another provider, but we need to choose the storage provider and create a bucket to store our data. The vendor is making changes to improve the functionality of the service and the separation of storage, but I would like to see more integration and a knowledge base of the tool. Currently trying to understand why the storage is separated and how to implement the storage properly is a challenge. Using the solution incurs additional charges for the device storage and backup which are not included in the service. Unlike other solutions such as Kohl which includes everything at one price. MSP360 Backup can be improved by adding inclusive pricing.

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

"MSP360 Backup's most valuable feature is its backup interface."
"Supports peer-to-peer backup using Minio, which has allowed us to easily pre-seed and maintain an off-site backup within driving distance, making tactical recovery of accidental file deletions easy."
"Block level transfers have significantly reduced the amount of time for transfers over some other solutions"
"I would recommend the solution; it's a very trustworthy solution."
"The initial setup is very easy. It's not overly complex."
"The UI is pretty good. It's very simple. That is one thing that we like about this. It's very user-friendly."
"I liked the way the product worked, its flexibility on the storage and cost, and the way it was supported."
"Client-side encryption minimizes worries about data being captured on the back-end."
"The initial setup of Nutanix Disaster Recovery is straightforward and easy."
"For the last five years, we have had zero downtime."
"The most valuable feature of Nutanix Disaster Recovery is the reliability and scalability of being able to swing our workloads across the country."
"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 product is very simple and very easy to use."
"Nutanix Disaster Recovery can be used for snapshots, backup, and disaster recovery."
"Nutanix Disaster Recovery needs to have a feature that can automate manual tasks."
"The most valuable feature of Nutanix Disaster Recovery is the local storage solution, which significantly boosts performance, especially when transitioning from traditional architecture."
 

Cons

"We could basically use just a more concise visual dashboard reporting on the status of the various machines."
"The main improvement is that it should have GDPR compliance. That's the problematic point. They say they are GDPR compliant, but they are not."
"The interface feels like it is targeted for end users who typically are looking for an all-in-one integrated push button solution. It would be better if the interface had a beginner mode and an expert mode."
"The other issue is that I don't like the implementation of the SQL backup."
"Maybe implement an easier interface for basic users. For example, a set-up wizard with all the commonly used features as default."
"The initial setup is a little complex as it has to be done in the office and requires someone to come in and install the solution on your server, then configure the scheduling, backup pushing, and so on."
"The graphics are looking a bit old and should be updated."
"Using the solution incurs additional charges for the device storage and backup which are not included in the service."
"Nowadays we find that Nutanix support is degraded. They started reducing their support."
"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."
"On a scale of one to ten, I would rate the Nutanix support team a five due to some responsiveness issues."
"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 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

"It includes a standard licensing fee. Once a year, there is a rebranding fee. The licensing costs are available on the internet for MSP360 Backup. There is a discount structure where if you have over 50 devices, you get a 50% discount. So, my cost is $2 a license per month."
"We have a very good return on investment."
"The solution is expensive."
"The cost is pretty inexpensive. Around four to five dollars per device, per workstation on each server."
"MSP360 is vastly cheaper than its competitors and has almost all the same features."
"It provides a good cost savings compared to our previous cloud backup."
"Pricing is reasonable although can be quite a large upfront cost."
"I rate the price of MSP360 Backup a seven out of ten."
"The solution’s pricing is good."
"Nutanix Disaster Recovery is a cheap solution."
