Featured Reviews

Hitesh Jethwa - PeerSpot reviewer
User-friendly, easy to deploy, and stable
I give the solution a nine out of ten. We require one engineer for maintenance. I would highly recommend N2WS Backup & Recovery, as I have had no issues and the sales and technical support teams have been excellent. They keep in touch with us every three to six months via email and phone calls.
Narasimha Reddy Illuri - PeerSpot reviewer
Communication improvements enhance platform reliability while seamless recovery process supports application safety
I don't currently have knowledge of the best features of Nutanix Disaster Recovery. I don't have specific features in mind that are missing in Nutanix Disaster Recovery that I would like to see included in the future. I don't find Nutanix's pricing reasonable; my higher authority manages pricing discussions. I'm not aware of the pricing as it's usually handled by delivery managers and the architect team. I don't know of any disadvantages of Nutanix outside of the technical support issues previously mentioned, as I'm still comparing it with ongoing learning. I didn't face any challenges while starting to learn Nutanix Disaster Recovery; it has been straightforward. I would recommend Nutanix Disaster Recovery as there are no issues, and I ensure to explain everything regarding application safety and functionality to the application owners. On a scale of one to ten, I rate Nutanix Disaster Recovery an eight out of ten.

Cons

"Additional features I would like to see are the ability to restore to different vendors, AWS and Azure, and/or the ability or take the information out of the AWS cloud."
"It's a global feature that the customer thinks they don't have enough tools to manage, to copy, to delay, and to classify the object file in the backup directory. So they need more tools to manage files in object directory."
"The GUI has room for improvement."
"The solution has the option to take backup on-prem servers, but it's not very efficient."
"The GUI could be slightly improved."
"There is room for improvement in stability."
"More documentation would be helpful, especially some step-by-step documents for recovery scenarios."
"The UI is a little dated and hard to use. Some of the buttons are a bit small. You have to go into the menu to get the settings you want."
"The major issue with Nutanix is its appliance-based model, which can lead to vendor lock-in."
"The product must allow users to create a production domain on the main site in one hypervisor and a backup site on another."
"The solution's bandwidth utilization can be improved further."
"The solution should include a standard license for the object level and file level."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It has very good pricing per instance and comes with three options, for both small and large environments, to fit your needs."
"The pricing and licensing on AWS is fine, because you can do it for smaller tiers depending on your number of instances, so it's not that scary."
"The price is not cheap, nor is it costly."
"The purchasing process through the AWS Marketplace is easy. Just click the button."
"It's very economical and worth the cost."
"AWS adds more features and offer things for free, or cheaply. Therefore, we will be evaluating AWS Data Lifecycle Manager, because it will probably do backups. Thus, make sure the product that you are using is competitive or adds more value than AWS."
"The solution’s pricing is good."
"Nutanix Disaster Recovery is a cheap solution."
