Has improved cost efficiency and streamlined disaster recovery operations through flexible deployment options

The best features of Nutanix Disaster Recovery as a Service are the high availability and failover capabilities. The majority of customers use the One-Click Disaster Recovery orchestration feature, and they are very satisfied with it. 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. Nutanix Disaster Recovery as a Service's effectiveness in seamless failover to secondary sites is exceptional. The Recovery Point Objective is very small and fast. The metro availability and synchronous replication between different sites work very well. Disaster Recovery Orchestration is also good. The cloud disaster recovery as a service functionality is more than sufficient. Nutanix Disaster Recovery as a Service's audit-proof reporting assists with compliance needs in Saudi Arabia, where we have different compliance certificates. It needs to work more to comply with all available certificates for compliance, including healthcare, financial sector, and Aramco-specific requirements. The positive impact includes cost efficiency, which is the most important point. The pay-as-you-grow model works effectively. The operation is good, and the flexibility for options such as on-premise synchronization, near synchronization, or cloud-based solutions is beneficial. Everything is available within the Nutanix platform, built-in, without extra complexity or fees.

Great backup that's user-friendly and very reliable

The initial setup is very straightforward. It is easy. There are no great difficulties when setting up the solution. Even the configuration is simple. The deployment itself takes only a couple of days. It only takes one person to install it. You do not need a big team. We had an engineer manage it. The product does not require any maintenance.

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."

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

"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."

"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."

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

More Nutanix Disaster Recovery as a Service pros

"I like the fact that it gives you the possibility to set the data out of the customer on-premises site and to have an off-site copy in your Cloud Data Center."

"I've found flexibility to the most valuable feature. I also like that it's scalable and that the stability is okay."

"In my opinion, the console or dashboard is the most valuable feature of this solution."

"The most valuable feature is the snapshot capability."

"It's a stable solution."

"The most valuable feature of Veeam Cloud Connect is the server backups, such as the Microsoft Windows server. Additionally, the updates provide useful enterprise functionality."

"This solution works really well and it is simple to deploy."

More Veeam Cloud Connect [EOL] pros

Cons

"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 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."

"They need better reporting on the environment."

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

"The solution needs to be more scalable. There should be no reason to set up Veeam Cloud Connect and have 10 servers in order to have a cloud backup. The initial setup could be easier."

"The biggest thing that Cloud Connect needs is native deduplication."

"The flexibility results in more administrative GUI. The GUI needs improvement."

"I think Veeam Cloud Connect could be more stable, scalable, and secure. I think better pricing is needed."

"Some of the features I'd like added to the solution would be coming up in version 12, so the only area for improvement I saw in Veeam Cloud Connect was the need to have more support for object storage."

"There are some issues with the cloud providers for Veeam Cloud Connect that do not support all the features."

"Doesn't back-up from KVM."

"The dashboard could be more intuitive."

More Veeam Cloud Connect [EOL] cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"I always want it to be cheaper."

"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 the solution could be cheaper. There are monthly or yearly subscription options available. The annual subscription tends to be cheaper."

"The licensing fee is on a monthly basis."

"It's not the cheapest solution on the market but it's reliable, so we find it cost-effective."

"The price of the solution is reasonable because of our good standing with the vendor."

"The pricing of Veeam Cloud Connect is good."

"I think that this is one of the most cost-effective solutions."

"We are looking into how we can extend the license of this product."

"The licensing is MSP-based. It is connected to the portal, and you can deploy it to your end users as well."
