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.

Pros

"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."
"We haven't needed anyone to maintain or deploy the solution. The traditional Nutanix administrator can administer the solution."
"The tool's most valuable feature is ease of use."
"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."
"Hyper-convergence gives me the ability to patch my firmware, software, and hypervisors with a single click. That is extremely useful."
"The most valuable feature is its simplicity."
"The solution is stable."
"The most valuable features of Veeam Cloud Connect are its ease of use and the portal is very useful."
"It's a stable solution."
"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."
"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."
"The administration and management integrate with multiple solutions, not just with one or two environments, even if they're not VMware products."
"The most valuable feature is the snapshot capability."
"This solution works really well and it is simple to deploy."
"In my opinion, the console or dashboard is the most valuable feature of this solution."
 

Cons

"The pricing could be better."
"The product is more costly than other platforms. The price 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."
"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."
"It needs to work more to comply with all available certificates for compliance, including healthcare, financial sector, and Aramco-specific requirements."
"The solution needs improvement in cost."
"The solution should allow for interfacing with other public cloud vendors. They could work to build something around that concept."
"We need the solution to offer IT storage."
"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."
"There are some issues with the cloud providers for Veeam Cloud Connect that do not support all the features."
"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."
"I think Veeam Cloud Connect could be more stable, scalable, and secure. I think better pricing is needed."
"Pricing could be improved and I also think archiving could be improved."
"It would be helpful if the enterprise edition was more complete. It's not as complete as the enterprise plus edition is. For instance, in the enterprise version, we can only use one accelerator with the cloud provider. It means if I have my Cloud Connect, I cannot connect another site of mine with another cloud connect and use an accelerator of Veeam. They should change this."
 

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."
"I think that this is one of the most cost-effective solutions."
"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."
"We are looking into how we can extend the license of this product."
"The pricing of Veeam Cloud Connect is good."
"The licensing fee is on a monthly basis."
"The licensing is MSP-based. It is connected to the portal, and you can deploy it to your end users as well."
