Jaimin Mehta

Senior Server and Cloud Engineer at Ertech

Affordable, highly scalable, and outstanding support

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. Currently, Nutanix is providing the remote snapshot, and on the data center side, there is one cluster, and on the DR side, there is another cluster. We have synchronized both clusters with the same environment. For connectivity, we are using a Megaport link, and we have to pay a third party for that. If Nutanix can provide such connectivity, it will be helpful.

Comprehensive data protection and reliable backup capabilities enable smooth disaster recovery operations

The features of Quest NetVault Plus ( /products/quest-netvault-plus-reviews ) that are most valuable include the ability to pick up and restore to tape servers and external hard disks. It allows us to pick up from devices and then restore to the same devices or external server storage. Additionally, the application supports scanning files for malware before backup operations.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

"The most valuable feature is its simplicity."

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

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

"Hyper-convergence gives me the ability to patch my firmware, software, and hypervisors with a single click. That is extremely useful."

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

"The solution is stable."

"Having the web-based interface is important to us because we can access it from any computer in the network, rather than having it installed and available for use only on a specific one."

"If a job is pending, the solution communicates it to us through emails."

"The user interface is good."

"Quest NetVault Plus has a high level of stability."

"It has File and SQL backup, which is the main benefit for us."

"Quest NetVault Plus is quite effective for managing backups across multiple systems because we don't need to log in to the backup server to manage it; it's web-based, so from any system in the network, you can log in and manage everything."

"The initial setup is straightforward. It's not that complicated. Deployment took maybe about 15 minutes."

"The platform helps us with efficient QoreStor deduplication (DD) capabilities and configuration."

Cons

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

"The pricing could be better."

"The solution needs improvement in cost."

"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."

"They need better reporting on the environment."

"The product’s SQL backup plugin needs improvement."

"There are command-line limitations. There is not a very strong possibility to work with the command line. The commands that are there are not that powerful, and you need to be very good at scripting, for example, in PowerShell or in Bash in case it is running on Linux systems. You need to combine a lot of commands together, and still, you will not get a great output that is presentable to others. You cannot work with it as easily."

"The interface can be improved. It should be more clear what features are available and make them easy to find."

"The initial setup is a little complex."

"I would like to see the option of cloud-based management."

"There are certain issues with the product that we report to Quest, and we get offered a workaround instead of a fix. There could be better interaction with the development teams, perhaps in terms of transparency."

"In the next version, I would like to see support for the MongoDB database. As it is now, there is no component that works with it and we cannot back the data up using NetVault."

"The storage capacity is very low."

More Quest NetVault Plus cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"I always want it to be cheaper."

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

"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."

"The price of our 12-month contract is approximately $1,500 AUD ($1,100 USD)."

"When we purchased four licenses, we were given a very good price. However, it is still on the high side when compared to some other vendors."

"The tool is expensive."
