Offers replication flexibility across multiple environments, including local centers and secondary sites

It offers key features like any point-in-time recovery without needing scheduled snapshots. It allows for automated VM protection during processes like failover and testing, and it offers replication flexibility across multiple environments, including local centers and secondary sites. It also provides IP address management when network configurations differ across sites.

Real-time synchronization optimizes disaster recovery processes with minimal manual intervention

As for the drawbacks or downsides, there is currently no room for improvement in this solution. They have clearly mentioned that on the licensing part. If you select a normal starter license, then you have to give the RTO, RPO two hours. Apart from this, we can deliver real-time 15 minutes. In future updates, there is currently no feature I would like to see in the product. We already discussed with the technical team and product engineering team because I'm a part of the partner technical advisory board of Nutanix. Monthly and weekly, we connect with them for the product features map.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is the ability to change IP addresses when failing a server over."

"The generalization of the journals allows us to go back in time and choose the snapshot suitable for us. We can grab it as needed."

"RecoverPoint replicates workloads fast."

"The speed and the footprint the solution uses regarding storage are great."

"The technical support from Dell is excellent."

"The speed and the footprint the solution uses regarding storage are great."

"The most valuable feature is that it is journal-based and you don't have to replicate a lot of data."

"The most valuable features are the data center recovery administration and the time of recovery."

More Dell RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines pros

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

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

"The best features of Nutanix Disaster Recovery as a Service include real-time synchronization with the best RTO and RPO, inbuilt data protection with snapshot feature functionality, automatic DR site upgrades, ISO certified compliance reporting, and seamless integration with over 1800 certified software applications."

"One-Click Disaster Recovery improves the overall business processes within an organization, I am very satisfied with its performance, and our customers are equally satisfied."

"It offers synchronous data replication, allowing us to sync our recovery data every hour and efficiently send applications to remote sites."

"The solution is stable."

"The most valuable feature is its simplicity."

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

More Nutanix Disaster Recovery as a Service pros

Cons

"It can have better integration. It would be good if, in addition to VMware VM, it can also support other hypervisors. I also want to see support for Oracle databases. As of now, it supports only SQL and Exchange. It would be good to also support other databases."

"In the next release of this software, I would like to see options that help to decrease the bandwidth required, such as compressing the data."

"It would be good to have a critical application on the customer side."

"I would like to see integration with EMC NetWorker in the next release."

"Although we can change the IP address, it would be good to have some other sort of orchestration to make life easier to manage when we failover."

"The solution currently supports only VMware. There is increasing demand for compatibility with other hypervisors, such as Hyper V and KVM Proxmox. Additionally, licensing has become less flexible and more expensive."

"The biggest challenge we faced was attempting replication between two different kinds of storage systems, like IBM on one side and Dell EMC storage systems on the other, before opting for VPLEX."

"Maybe integration with Kubernetes for OpenShift would be helpful."

More Dell RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines cons

"The solution needs improvement in cost."

"It needs to work more to comply with all available certificates for compliance, including healthcare, financial sector, and Aramco-specific requirements."

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

"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."

"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."

"It needs to work more to comply with all available certificates for compliance, including healthcare, financial sector, and Aramco-specific requirements."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing-wise, it is pretty much fair for any customer who only has a VMware environment. Licensing is based on the number of VMs that you want to protect at any given point in time. Licensing is not based on size."

"The tool is expensive. If one means cheaply priced and ten means expensive, I rate the tool's price as a seven."

"This is an expensive product."

"This is not a very cheap solution and compared to others, it is expensive."

"It was a part of a backup solution. So, it was free for us."

"There is a license required for this solution and the pricing depends on how many virtual machines you have."

"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."

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