Featured Reviews

Ingvar  Ingason - PeerSpot reviewer
An affordable product that offers a reasonably good technical support
I rate the product's initial setup phase an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is a difficult setup phase, and ten is an easy setup phase. The product's installation phase took me around two weeks. On average, it usually takes about a week or two to deploy when everything is in place. The solution is deployed on a hybrid cloud from Azure.
Pawel Augustyn - PeerSpot reviewer
Simplified interface with good performance but needs monitoring
I need to use PowerStore and Veritas Backup Exec. It is a direct backup to types, and it is supported by my backup. It offers good performance and stability, and it works properly. I am happy with this program. It is still working on aligning with security requirements and data encryption for Amazon or ATAC. It has a lot of functions and security measures, which ensure our backups are secure.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like the autofill-over feature and the simplicity of the solution."
"Nutanix can converge legacy-style rack mount servers, so it is highly scalable."
"We find the ease of use valuable."
"Nutanix has its own backup system known as HYCU, as well as its own virtual server."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...I rate the technical support a nine out of ten."
"We use this solution as an integrated backup solution and it is integrated from the backup provider to the Nutanix solution."
"I like that Backup Exec integrates with Microsoft Exchange. We can retrieve backups from the email boxes."
"The interface easy to use and it is compatible with most backup devices."
"It is easy to set up and use for daily processes and a good solution for preserving crucial data."
"One of the valuable features is the instant recovery for VMs. It reduces the RTO (Recovery Time Objective) drastically."
"One nice feature with Backup Exec is mainly that disaster can happen to any server and the disk image can be destroyed very easily. It's also easy to fully email the backup image and restore the server."
"We have never had any problem with storage and backups. It works very well and is a user-friendly solution."
"The product makes it easy to restore data."
"It gives us the ability to locate and restore critical files which users may have intentionally or unknowing deleted a while ago."
 

Cons

"I would like to see the multi-cloud improve."
"The price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The solution's setup process should be simplified."
"Nutanix is not secure enough, and it needs to be more resilient."
"It could be cheaper."
"This solution could be improved with regards to the hosts that integrate with the platform itself. Each of the hosts integrated with the storage and networking only provide one instance of a backup."
"The user interface needs to be improved."
"This solution does not support image-level backup of a physical server."
"They could include backup functionality for enterprise environments."
"The EDR should be looked at, as the operating system is too weak."
"The solution is too heavy and complex with 1,000 menus and options that make it messy rather than lightweight."
"There's one common issue with tape backups: the tape might have some space left, but Backup Exec says it's not writable and needs replacement. We've encountered this with multiple clients, so it doesn't seem environment-specific. It's likely related to the software. We usually just format the tape and use it again without much investigation."
"Maybe they could improve reporting capabilities and predictions."
"The licensing packet is confusing. If Veritas could do a better job of clarifying it, that would be helpful."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the pricing a five out of ten because the price is average."
"Nutanix Mine Integrated Backup is fairly priced."

"While Nutanix Mine is extremely expensive for small businesses, it is a very cost-effective product for enterprise businesses."
"I rate the price of Veritas Backup Exec a four out of five."
"The price is reasonable for the features it offers."
"It is not an expensive product."
"The solution costs $700 per agent and is expensive compared to other products that offer better stability."
"Depending on the scenario, it can cost less than half of the price of other methods."
"It is cheap compared to the other backup technologies. It all depends on the requirements."
