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.

Pros

"The tool's most valuable feature is ease of use."
"The solution is stable."
"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."
"Hyper-convergence gives me the ability to patch my firmware, software, and hypervisors with a single click. That is extremely useful."
"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 initial setup is very easy."
"Very flexible, all-in-one solution."
"Replication Job base on a source HPE Catalyst store to perform a full reconstruction of our production systems on our third datacenter, which is our DRP Site."
"The solution's best features are its ease of use and replication."
"All features of Veeam Data Platform, such as backup, immutability, and replication, are highly valuable."
"The standout feature for us is instant recovery."
"Veeam ONE is a straightforward solution and compatible with almost all hardware."
"Veeam Data Platform is valuable for its stability and the ability to easily contact support for assistance."
 

Cons

"The product is more costly than other platforms. The price could be better."
"The solution needs improvement in cost."
"The pricing could be better."
"I think that Nutanix should support public clouds instead of the Nutanix data centers."
"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."
"They need better reporting on the environment."
"The user experience can be better, as it is one of the areas with shortcomings in the product."
"We're using both Backup and Replication, Veeam Cloud Connect, and Veeam Office 365. What I am missing is a good graphical user interface between these three products."
"The solution is rather weak when it comes to database integration."
"In the next release, I would like replication directly to the cloud to be included."
"The product must be able to perform different types of backups."
"Unfortunately, the software only runs on Windows."
"Veeam currently lacks features for backing up to network-attached storage. Veeam Backup & Replication agents do not support S3 storage. Only Veeam Backup & Replication server supports S3 storage."
"When you want to restore files, you first need to restore the machine, and then you have to mount it, and then restore the files."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is a little bit cheaper than the other products in the market. It is affordable."
"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."
"One-time costs may initially seem high, but they reflect the quality of the service received."
"I always want it to be cheaper."
"The price of the solution could improve when comparing it to competitors. The market is very competitive and they should have some discounts or special offers."
"The pricing of the solution could be reduced."
"The price is slightly higher than its competitors."
"We are happy with the pricing and we pay for licensing on a subscription basis."
"The product is expensive."
"We are on an annual license for Veeam Backup Replication. We could expand or upgrade the license for the Office365 features. Next year we might go to a three-year plan for support on license."
"We pay every month for Enterprise Plus. There are no additional costs."
"The price of Veeam Backup Replication is reasonable. It is not inexpensive nor is it expensive, it is in the middle range compared to other solutions. There can be additional costs for addons."

VMware SRM vs. Veeam vs. Zerto
