Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Hyper-convergence gives me the ability to patch my firmware, software, and hypervisors with a single click. That is extremely useful.""We haven't needed anyone to maintain or deploy the solution. The traditional Nutanix administrator can administer the solution."

"Veeam Backup & Replication is a scalable solution.""One of the most valuable features of Veeam is that the restoration is easy and reliable.""Very reliable and easy to use.""The solution is easy to use and have good performance.""A simple and stable solution for small businesses that use virtualization.""It serves its intended purpose and it works well.""Initially setting up the product is easy.""I know it's not exactly a feature, but I accept it works and it's easy to use. With the Veeam Backup & Replication, we have no problems in managing restore. Obviously, the most important thing about backup software. I used to say that every backup software can make backups, but only good ones can make a restore."

Cons
"I think that Nutanix should support public clouds instead of the Nutanix data centers.""They need better reporting on the environment."

More Nutanix Disaster Recovery as a Service Cons →

"The parallel backup process from the Veeam server to Veeam has some limitations. The number of parallel backups should be increased and the compressional is very low. Sometimes it is half or one-third, but other backup solutions' compression levels are very high.""I would like them to move back to host licensing.""Veeam Backup Replication could improve by having more comparably with other hardware with the immutable copy feature.""It would be nice if it could be integrated with third-party solutions like ours. It has been supporting just Windows and virtual machines.""We struggled to stabilize the application. We had an incident which resulted in a loss of data and have terminated this solution due to lack of support from the Veeam team.""Occasionally, in the course of upgrading one's virtualization platform, the backup can be ruined.""I would want them to improve some technical features that are still missing because we are working with NetApp NVMe and they're not fully supporting it yet. But both NetApp and Veeam know about it and they're working on it.""I would like to see the licensing model improved. They have recently changed the model and have made it more complicated."

    Overview
    Nutanix Disaster Recovery-as-a-Service (DRaaS) is a fully managed DR service that eliminates the need for a dedicated DR site, minimizes data loss and downtime, and helps organizations meet RTO/RPO SLAs confidently.

    Veeam Backup & Replication is a reliable backup and recovery software tool that is designed to help you back up, restore, and replicate data on virtual machines (VMs). The solution is compatible with a variety of backup targets and can be used with VMware vSphere and Microsoft Hyper-V. It is agentless and also has a recovery time objective of less than 15 minutes for all applications and uses built-in WAN acceleration to replicate data off-site up to 50 times faster than a raw data transfer. In addition to backing up and recovering VMs, Veeam Backup & Replication can protect and restore individual files and applications for environments such as Exchange and SharePoint. It can also provide transaction-level restores of Oracle and Microsoft SQL databases.

    • Replication: You can create an exact copy of a VM and maintain the copy in sync with the original VM.
    • Continuous data protection (CDP): The solution’s replication technology helps you protect mission-critical VMs and reach recovery point objectives (RPO).
    • Backup copy: With Veeam, you can copy backup files to a secondary repository.
    • Storage systems support: The solution enables you to back up and restore VMs using capabilities of native snapshots created on storage systems.

    Reviews from Real Users

    Veeam Backup & Replication is a solution that stands out when compared to many of its competitors. Some of its major advantages are its ease of set up, the fact that it is agentless, and that it has an intuitive dashboard. 

    A Network Operations Manager at an educational organization says, "Integration with VMware is excellent with very granular recovery."

    An Inside Solutions Architect at a tech services company mentions, “I like that it's agent-less, easy to set up, and hardware-agnostic.”

    An Account Manager at a tech services company states, “The dashboard is very, very easy to understand. We do demonstrations all the time with customers just to show them. If they've lost particular files because of a server going down, we can retrieve those files for them and quickly bring those files back up.”

    Kerem C., Director of Professional Services/Senior Solution Architect/Trainer at a tech services company, explains, “It's good for backup performance management and backup window management.”
