Integrated backups and orchestration have protected critical workloads with zero downtime
Pricing is always a consideration because nowadays the price has increased a lot. We bought our system five years ago and we paid in advance, so we are not yet affected by the price increase. However, we are planning to buy another solution in the very near future because the old one is now phasing out. We are planning to buy a replacement of the existing infrastructure and we are facing a lot of cost issues because they increased the price. Previously it was per socket. Now they moved to per core with many other restrictions. Our experience over the last five years has been very positive, but nowadays we find that Nutanix support is degraded. They started reducing their support. Their new functionality is not as stable. Nutanix has added Kubernetes cluster creation, segmentation, and micro-segmentation. Even their support people are not fully knowledgeable. Their support people are trained for VM-based systems, but now their own internal services are running using Kubernetes and containerization. Their support staff does not have enough knowledge to provide proper support. This may be a transition period where a lot of new functionality has been added and the support staff is not yet well acquainted with it.

Enhanced filtering for advocate emails
Quorum provides an elevated ability to filter on everything from people's location to age to their voting history. This is an extreme feature that will help our advocacy department a lot. It encompasses the ability to formulate emails and calls to action across regions. Their platform is more advanced than our previous one. It provides a smooth training experience and easy terminology for those in the advocacy world.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The initial setup of Nutanix Disaster Recovery is straightforward and easy."
"For the last five years, we have had zero downtime."
"Nutanix Disaster Recovery can be used for snapshots, backup, and disaster recovery."
"Nutanix Disaster Recovery needs to have a feature that can automate manual tasks."
"The product is very simple and very easy to use."
"The main benefits I've seen from using Nutanix Disaster Recovery include its single platform, which is significantly better than VMware, offering improved security, scalability, and multiple communication options."
"The most valuable feature of Nutanix Disaster Recovery is the reliability and scalability of being able to swing our workloads across the country."
"The most valuable feature of Nutanix Disaster Recovery is the local storage solution, which significantly boosts performance, especially when transitioning from traditional architecture."
"Mostly, onQ gives us confidence, knowing that we're really covered if we really have to bring the systems up."
"One of the biggest features is that, even on the absolutely run-of-the-mill box, if I lose any one of my servers I can automatically bring it up virtually on the physical onQ Quorum device."
"In extreme cases, we have used the ability to spin up a VM on the Quorum device for use in our production environment, which is a great feature and also very easy to do."
"The solution offers good documentation."
"The biggest feature is being able to do a file recovery to the original server. That is extremely useful and has saved us a few times when we've had ransomware. In some of those cases, people's computers were locked down by viruses which spread to things they had access to, including server shares. But we were easily able to just restore to four hours prior, instead of a day or two or more ago."
"This is true peace of mind for all IT admins."
"The most useful feature is the integration and ease of backup and testing."
"Having the ability to reduce recovery time, for critical resources, from multiple hours to a matter of minutes, is huge."
 

Cons

"The solution should include a standard license for the object level and file level."
"The solution's bandwidth utilization can be improved further."
"The dashboard could be a bit refreshed, and some configuration parts could be less confusing."
"The product must allow users to create a production domain on the main site in one hypervisor and a backup site on another."
"Nowadays we find that Nutanix support is degraded. They started reducing their support."
"The major issue with Nutanix is its appliance-based model, which can lead to vendor lock-in."
"They need integration with other platforms."
"I paid for subscription of Firewall. I paid for subscription of endpoint protection. Thet should introduce single subscription for all services."
"There was a situation I faced in the past when I contacted the tool's support team, and it took them a while to respond."
"It is not as feature-rich as a product like Veeam."
"Quorum OnQ's user interface is not very attractive and should be made more attractive."
"The price is high and could be more competitive."
"They have radio buttons that allow multiselection, which is not intuitive."
"The cost could be reduced."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Nutanix Disaster Recovery is a cheap solution."
"The solution’s pricing is good."
"When we quote the price of Quorum to customers, they find it expensive."
"The total for our current solution's licensing is about $14,000 for 12 servers for three years."
"I am not sure how much it costs, but I know it's expensive."
"The upfront cost of purchasing a license for the hardware is quite steep."
"When we first got the Quorum the licensing was different."
"The solution’s pricing is economical."
"Quorum OnQ can be described as a medium-priced product...There are no ingress and egress charges in the product."
"The initial expenditure for us was a little under $40,000 for the recent renewal. For the first three years after that, other than electricity, there's no cost. After that, their support contract has to be renewed annually. We spent close to $6,000, between the two offices, for support."
