Real-time synchronization optimizes disaster recovery processes with minimal manual intervention
As for the drawbacks or downsides, there is currently no room for improvement in this solution. They have clearly mentioned that on the licensing part. If you select a normal starter license, then you have to give the RTO, RPO two hours. Apart from this, we can deliver real-time 15 minutes. In future updates, there is currently no feature I would like to see in the product. We already discussed with the technical team and product engineering team because I'm a part of the partner technical advisory board of Nutanix. Monthly and weekly, we connect with them for the product features map.

Backup operations have become reliable and reporting now simplifies hybrid cloud protection
Veeam Data Platform has Veeam Enterprise Manager as well as Veeam ONE as valuable features, which allow us to generate various kinds of reports that are required for the customer. Instant VM Recovery is a good feature of the high-speed recovery features in Veeam Data Platform, and Continuous Data Protection (CDP) is also a good feature. Ransomware protection is a good feature added in Veeam Data Platform from version 12 onwards, and the ability to create immutable repositories is also a good feature in Veeam. The analytics part of Veeam Data Platform is a good solution because I have worked on various backup technologies such as EMC NetWorker and NetBackup. However, I have not used the analytical parts currently but will check it out. Streamlining processes as well as saving money are benefits that Veeam Data Platform provides for the end user, as it allows for application-aware backups and database backups without the need for various kinds of licenses that other backup software requires. Veeam offers socket-based licenses, instance-based licenses, and capacity-based licenses, which is a great feature.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It offers synchronous data replication, allowing us to sync our recovery data every hour and efficiently send applications to remote sites."
"We haven't needed anyone to maintain or deploy the solution. The traditional Nutanix administrator can administer the solution."
"Nutanix did a good job making that very simple."
"It is a very secure and scalable solution, and their support is also outstanding."
"The best features of Nutanix Disaster Recovery as a Service include real-time synchronization with the best RTO and RPO, inbuilt data protection with snapshot feature functionality, automatic DR site upgrades, ISO certified compliance reporting, and seamless integration with over 1800 certified software applications."
"One-Click Disaster Recovery improves the overall business processes within an organization, I am very satisfied with its performance, and our customers are equally satisfied."
"The solution is stable."
"Hyper-convergence gives me the ability to patch my firmware, software, and hypervisors with a single click. That is extremely useful."
"For us, it's a simple solution for our complex environment."
"The restore capabilities are the most valuable features."
"I would recommend the solution to others for its ease-of-use."
"It's simply very good software for backup purposes."
"The most valuable feature is that I can back up the whole machine and then restore it relatively fast."
"Its performance is fine, it supports us very well, and it is able to support our policy for RTO, RPO, and other things that we need."
"One thing we like about the product is that it's good and not as expensive as similar products. Right now, there are different ways to back up your information—you can back up directly to a disk or the cloud. It allows you to have various kinds of repositories."
"SureBackup is the kickass feature, with zero failure on restoration of the backups so you don’t even have to use SureBackup to be assured of the restoration."
 

Cons

"The solution needs improvement in cost."
"The product is more costly than other platforms. The price could be better."
"It needs to work more to comply with all available certificates for compliance, including healthcare, financial sector, and Aramco-specific requirements."
"Reporting would be a lot better. They need better reporting on the environment."
"The pricing could be better."
"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."
"I think that Nutanix should support public clouds instead of the Nutanix data centers."
"They still don’t have a plugin for use with EMC Data Domain."
"It would be nice if it could be integrated with third-party solutions like ours. It has been supporting just Windows and virtual machines."
"Sometimes Veeam is not that effective when it comes to legacy environments."
"This product is for virtual environments only, which means it cannot backup physical servers."
"The patching can be quite difficult at times."
"Scalability, as well as licensing costs, need to be improved."
"The cloud backups from Veeam Backup Replication have not been good. Addiotnaally, the backups of Office 365 and the overall performance can always be improved."
"Tape support is there, but needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I always want it to be cheaper."
"It is a little bit cheaper than the other products in the market. It is affordable."
"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 solution is expensive, but it's value for money."
"Veeam Data Platform, it's pay-as-you-go. So, the more options you choose, the more consumption you have in monthly billing."
"It is highly cost-effective when compared to other solutions."
"It is always nice to get products cheaper. Technically, it saves you a lot of money. If you wanted to buy the same functionality out of vSphere, you would spend thousands to essentially get the same functionality."
"We purchase a license annually."
"Veeam has a ten-license package gives you two physical and two virtual servers you can use on any endpoint."
"The price is reasonable."
"Our licensing runs for five years, and after that time we do the renewal. There haven't been any further costs beyond our initial licensing plan because our customer is satisfied with the setup that has been configured and the overall backup environment."

VMware SRM vs. Veeam vs. Zerto
