Managed services with seamless integration and good reliability

Since I have to view everything on the console, the previous application solutions like IBM and Sanavi showed the RPO and RTO status directly. In AWS Disaster Recovery Service, these details are not available, making it difficult to check my replication status. I have to calculate whether my data is replicated to the Adarabad region or not. These features, if available in AWS, would be beneficial.

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 went from an organization with minimal to no disaster recovery. I was able to spin up the disaster recovery environment with AWS rather quickly and meet business requirements."

"Customer service is quite helpful."

"The initial setup is pretty straightforward, it's not complex."

"For regular backup and restore solutions, this product is fine."

"The most valuable aspect of CloudEndure Disaster Recovery is its instant block replication feature. This allows us to perform live block verification and eliminates the need to concern ourselves with recovery point objectives. This capability is particularly advantageous for critical workloads."

"AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery is a robust and reliable solution for disaster recovery needs."

"The solution is dependent on the network bandwidth. For example, if they have a bandwidth of 10Mbps the solution will run a little heavier. If the bandwidth is good the solution runs well."

"The setup is pretty straightforward."

More AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery pros

"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 most valuable feature is its simplicity."

"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 solution is stable."

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

Cons

"I set up a test, deleted the source, and went to fail it back, and it didn't work."

"I would like to see better support for creating and working with archives."

"The cost of AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery is seen as expensive."

"The product could be improved by incorporating more AI-driven automation for deployment and additional security features. These enhancements would make the solution even more user-friendly and secure."

"Since I have to view everything on the console, the previous application solutions like IBM and Sanavi showed the RPO and RTO status directly. In AWS Disaster Recovery Service, these details are not available, making it difficult to check my replication status."

"The only thing I would like to see is, they don't have a formal ticketing system. There is no way I can go back and see what questions we had six months back, what issues we had, and how they were resolved."

"The user interface, customer support, and the recovery time for the current customer query could use improvement."

"The failback could be improved. It should be more intuitive."

More AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery cons

"The solution needs improvement in cost."

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

"The pricing could be better."

"They need better reporting on the environment."

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It has saved us money from having to buy hardware for disaster recovery."

"We were happy with the pricing that they gave us."

"I feel the product's pricing is a good value. Licensing is pretty straightforward."

"I rate the price of CloudEndure Disaster Recovery a six out of ten."

"CloudEndure Disaster Recovery is charging clients $20 to do the DR backups. It is an expensive solution."

"The pricing is better now that they had come out with the Tier 2 which replicates a little less often. In comparison to what I would have been spending with any other type of solution, the pricing is fair."

"They license us on a per machine basis. We have a set number of machines, which we have licensed."

"Where the price adds up, there are CloudEndure licenses, then there is the AWS environment, and finally, there is the AWS storage, so cumulatively, it adds up."

More AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery pricing and cost advice

"It is a little bit cheaper than the other products in the market. It is affordable."

"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."

"One-time costs may initially seem high, but they reflect the quality of the service received."

"I always want it to be cheaper."
