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

"Provides easy, one-click functionality and flexible backup policies and schedules for AWS workloads."

"N2WS Backup & Recovery is very easy to use and configure backup for AWS instances."

"The product is successful with the SMB market."

"The backup and restore functionality is very easy to use and manage."

"The backup and recovery are the most valuable features. So, our developers can work with confidence."

"The most valuable feature is the ease of use."

"The initial setup is easy."

"The recovery time is fantastic and proven. Also, by providing a simple interface, the solution lowers the cost."

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

"The solution is stable."

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

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

"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 most valuable feature is its simplicity."

Cons

"The solution has the option to take backup on-prem servers, but it's not very efficient."

"It's a global feature that the customer thinks they don't have enough tools to manage, to copy, to delay, and to classify the object file in the backup directory. So they need more tools to manage files in object directory."

"There is room for improvement in stability."

"The GUI has room for improvement."

"Additional features I would like to see are the ability to restore to different vendors, AWS and Azure, and/or the ability or take the information out of the AWS cloud."

"The UI is a little dated and hard to use. Some of the buttons are a bit small. You have to go into the menu to get the settings you want."

"More documentation would be helpful, especially some step-by-step documents for recovery scenarios."

"The GUI could be slightly improved."

"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."

"They need better reporting on the environment."

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

"The pricing could be better."

"The solution needs improvement in cost."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing and licensing on AWS is fine, because you can do it for smaller tiers depending on your number of instances, so it's not that scary."

"The price is not cheap, nor is it costly."

"It's very economical and worth the cost."

"The purchasing process through the AWS Marketplace is easy. Just click the button."

"AWS adds more features and offer things for free, or cheaply. Therefore, we will be evaluating AWS Data Lifecycle Manager, because it will probably do backups. Thus, make sure the product that you are using is competitive or adds more value than AWS."

"It has very good pricing per instance and comes with three options, for both small and large environments, to fit your needs."

"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."

"I always want it to be cheaper."

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