Jaimin Mehta

Senior Server and Cloud Engineer at Ertech

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

"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 most valuable feature is its simplicity."

"Hyper-convergence gives me the ability to patch my firmware, software, and hypervisors with a single click. That is extremely useful."

"The tool's most valuable feature is ease of use."

"The solution is stable."

"The user interface is good and it is very easy to use."

"First, I like that this solution is fast. Second, I like the stability and flexibility."

"In terms of most valuable features, we are mostly using the Cloud Connect feature. It is flexible because you can use it on-prem and on cloud."

"It's fairly easy to manage and set up."

"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."

"Its stability and scalability were the main reasons for going for this solution. It is highly scalable, and its stability is also powerful. It has a friendly interface, and its monitoring and performance are the best in the market."

"Veeam Data Platform is valuable for its stability and the ability to easily contact support for assistance."

"The good thing about Veeam is that its initial setup and usage are straightforward."

Cons

"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 solution needs improvement in cost."

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

"They need better reporting on the environment."

"The pricing could be better."

"The product is more costly than other platforms. The price could be better."

"Near-synchronous, better RPO and RTO snapshot-based takes a lot of space and resources."

"A backup and replication solution should be able to back up a system and do recovery very fast. Even though Veeam Backup & Replication is able to meet most of our needs, it would be better if they can make it faster for backup and restore."

"They need a better solution for backend storage."

"The solution’s scalability could be improved."

"It needs to offer an automatic check for backups."

"Unfortunately, the software only runs on Windows."

"Veeam doesn't have the reporting part quite right. Its data visualization isn't as slick as other solutions like Veritas. For example, in Veritas, you can see a calendar that shows you which days are backed up. Veeam lacks features like that."

"Immutability could be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 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."

"Veeam Data Platform's pricing is affordable."

"It's a proper price, as it isn't an issue for what Veeam Backup & Replication is giving us. Obviously, we are paying licensing for our physical VMware environment. It also depends on how the VMware environment is on the side. We have a few very big nodes. So, we need a few licenses and maybe if people had more nodes and sockets and each node was managing less information, machine supplies could be different."

"Its licensing is very simple. We can make changes very easily."

"When it comes to pricing for a backup solution for data centers, you do not care about the price. We just care about the service and want it to be reliable. In terms of subscription, it really makes sense. When you want to use all the functionalities it is good that Veeam did the subscription-based model, this is what gives it the most strength on the price."

"It is approximately $4,000 to $5,000 for the purchase of the product and I paid an additional $2,000 for the renewal."

"Room for improvement is actually more in the way of licensing. The really good and useful features are in the Enterprise plus edition, and that one is really expensive."

"A nice aspect of Veeam's pricing is that the cost benefit is good. It's very economical."

"The product is expensive."
