Communication improvements enhance platform reliability while seamless recovery process supports application safety
I don't currently have knowledge of the best features of Nutanix Disaster Recovery. I don't have specific features in mind that are missing in Nutanix Disaster Recovery that I would like to see included in the future. I don't find Nutanix's pricing reasonable; my higher authority manages pricing discussions. I'm not aware of the pricing as it's usually handled by delivery managers and the architect team. I don't know of any disadvantages of Nutanix outside of the technical support issues previously mentioned, as I'm still comparing it with ongoing learning. I didn't face any challenges while starting to learn Nutanix Disaster Recovery; it has been straightforward. I would recommend Nutanix Disaster Recovery as there are no issues, and I ensure to explain everything regarding application safety and functionality to the application owners. On a scale of one to ten, I rate Nutanix Disaster Recovery an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product is very simple and very easy to use."
"The most valuable feature of Nutanix Disaster Recovery is the reliability and scalability of being able to swing our workloads across the country."
"Nutanix Disaster Recovery can be used for snapshots, backup, and disaster recovery."
"The initial setup of Nutanix Disaster Recovery is straightforward and easy."
"The most valuable feature of Nutanix Disaster Recovery is the local storage solution, which significantly boosts performance, especially when transitioning from traditional architecture."
"Nutanix Disaster Recovery needs to have a feature that can automate manual tasks."
"One of the most valuable features of Veeam is that the restoration is easy and reliable."
"I like the backup and backup copy features."
"Veeam Backup Replication's snapshotting and cloning are the most valuable features."
"The feature that we have found most valuable is its traffic plan. The traffic plan is very good."
"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 data backup replication has been the most useful feature. Previously, we copied the data hub to an external hard drive but now we are able to store the backup on one of the depository service."
"The tool's stability is good."
"It provides a much better user experience compared to other vendors. It works faster as well."
 

Cons

"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 major issue with Nutanix is its appliance-based model, which can lead to vendor lock-in."
"Nutanix Disaster Recovery needs to have a feature that can automate manual tasks."
"The product must allow users to create a production domain on the main site in one hypervisor and a backup site on another."
"The solution should include a standard license for the object level and file level."
"Veeam Data Platform lacks cyber security tools."
"The database backup process could be improved. It would be beneficial to enhance this feature and also consider the addition of a web interface to increase accessibility."
"There's a lot of room for improvement surrounding the backup process."
"The product’s stability has certain issues and needs to be improved. The solution’s pricing could be also cheaper."
"The one downside to Veeam is that they don't have a cloud product of their own."
"It is not easy to navigate, especially with the numerous reports available."
"Could offer a better conclusion of the backups."
"When in a domain, the virus can easily attack the Veeam server, something which happened to us."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution’s pricing is good."
"Nutanix Disaster Recovery is a cheap solution."
"We dont have the exact licensing costs, but we pay for a comprehensive service package that includes technical support, cloud services, and data center services. There may be additional costs beyond the standard license, but I'm not sure about the specifics. However, I believe the yearly cost is around five thousand dollars."
"It's an extremely cost-effective solution."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is expensive and ten is cheap, I rate the solution's pricing a nine out of ten."
"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."
"I would rate the product's pricing an eight out of ten. The licensing costs are yearly."
"The product is expensive."
"Although our license includes support, we have only really used the support when we were using Veeam for Active Directory. The rest of the time, we find Veeam easy enough to use without paying extra support fees."
"We try to use perpetual licensing, and there are no additional costs. They have recently moved to universal licensing, which is more expensive, and I would like them to go back to host licensing."
