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

"The tool's most valuable feature is ease of use."
"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."
"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."
"Hyper-convergence gives me the ability to patch my firmware, software, and hypervisors with a single click. That is extremely useful."
"The solution is stable."
"Nutanix did a good job making that very simple."
"While I do not recall whether the latest version is 10.0 or 11.0 I do know that it allows one to make a back up repository that is very scalable and simple."
"The solution is stable and absolutely reliable, and it's the most easy-to-use backup replication that I have used so far."
"Instant Veeam Recovery is invaluable as it has eliminated the need for High Availability as you can bring back up applications within five minutes if needed."
"The backup and replication capabilities are quite good."
"The platform has a useful disaster recovery feature."
"The backup and replication features of this solution are most valuable."
"It is a rock-solid backup solution. That's all, and that's what we were asking for."
"The most valuable addition recently introduced is the Continuous Data Protection feature."
 

Cons

"The solution needs improvement in cost."
"I think that Nutanix should support public clouds instead of the Nutanix data centers."
"It needs to work more to comply with all available certificates for compliance, including healthcare, financial sector, and Aramco-specific requirements."
"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 pricing could be better."
"The product is more costly than other platforms. The price could be better."
"Reporting would be a lot better. They need better reporting on the environment."
"Licensing cost model/ Faster data transfer rates from SSD Drive Datastores and Faster cancellation of a Job if done, sometimes you need to reboot your Veeam server because the job is stuck upon cancelling, this is all I can think of."
"Having to use a separate application (Cloudberry) to upload to AWS S3 is very cumbersome and seems like something that should be integrated into the core product."
"Customer service needs improvement."
"Physical servers backup should be improved in the product."
"They have an integration with MS SQL, and you have to license MS SQL. This is something they need to change. They should go for an open-source database or a free SQL because you're already buying this product, and you shouldn't have to buy another product."
"Overall, I'm not happy with the pricing. The price could be improved. Every year, most vendors try to increase the price. It says it's being upgraded, but there's no improvement. The product stays the same, but the licensing costs are increasing."
"It would be ideal if they could capture everything and then timestamp and back up everything up to that timestamp."
"The remote SQL server has had multiple sizing issues within the logs and SQL backup space and sharing with other database apps."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"One-time costs may initially seem high, but they reflect the quality of the service received."
"I always want it to be cheaper."
"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."
"I acknowledge there are concerns about pricing, specifically in gaining more customers for VM. We've encountered difficulties in convincing them due to pricing issues. So, I rate it a six."
"Veeam Data Platform's pricing is affordable."
"I don't pay for the solution, so I can't comment on the cost."
"I don't have an issue with the price of Veeam Backup Replication."
"It's expensive and costs about 4000 a year."
"It is not expensive and I would rate it five out of ten."
"The tool’s licensing is yearly and flexible. I would rate the solution’s pricing a seven out of ten."
"The pricing is reasonable and falls within the average range."
