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.

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

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

"Point-in-time recovery and ease of deployment are valuable."

"The installation is straightforward if the version you have is compatible with your infrastructure."

"The technical support from Dell is excellent."

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

"One of the standout features of Dell RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines is its real-time data protection capability."

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

"Continuous replication with lower RTO and RPO is the most innovative feature. Its tight integration with VMware for VMware VMs is also valuable."

More Dell RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines pros

"It is a very secure and scalable solution, and their support is also outstanding."

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

"The most valuable feature is its simplicity."

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

"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."

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

Cons

"The configuration process seems a bit challenging, and the installation takes a bit longer than expected."

"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 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."

"The solution currently supports only VMware."

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

"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."

"The solution's technical team has enough skills, but the process can get complicated with the time you get connected with the L3 support."

More Dell RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines cons

"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 solution needs improvement in cost."

"The pricing could be better."

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

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"This is an expensive product."

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

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

"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."

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

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

"I always want it to be cheaper."

"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."
