Senior Server and Cloud Engineer at Ertech

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

"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."

"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 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."

"One of the most valuable features is the integration. Another good feature is the instant recovery."

"The solution works well in two different environments, whether it is on-premises, cloud, or a combination."

"The most critical features of Veeam Data Platform for ensuring availability and integrity are its fast virtual machine restoration using duplication for quick backups and the COBRA point functionality that allows us to run regu"

"Veeam Backup & Replication is a great alternative to what is out there. Some of the backups just allow an agent backup to the cloud. You can back up a thousand different ways, but this is a great way to keep a customer and a company in compliance in that they've got their data secure onsite and offsite. The data being transferred to the NAS at the customer's location and also the data being sent to the cloud is encrypted in transit and it's also encrypted at rest so that nobody is going to be able to hack into that. No one will have the keys to do that."

"The solution's interface, GUI (graphical user interface), and backup are good."

"For virtualization it's perfect."

"Veeam Backup & Replication is definitely very useful and simple to learn, and the restoring processes are very straightforward, making it a very solid product."

"The solution is very easy to deploy."

Cons

"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."

"The solution needs improvement in cost."

"The pricing could be better."

"They need better reporting on the environment."

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

"The integration with other solutions should be improved."

"If they could add more support for all of the modern hypervisors, that would make Veeam much better and more flexible to work with. For example, there is no solution for VM to VM replication when it comes to Oracle OEM servers."

"I would like to see better features for exporting to cloud-based repositories."

"Its price is higher than other solutions and can be improved. They can also change the version of the software more often."

"The price can be better."

"Could offer a better conclusion of the backups."

"One common customer complaint is that Veeam, not just Veeam ONE, has become increasingly complex over time. This means that it is now very feature-rich, which can be challenging for some users to navigate and understand. There is a need for more education on how to use the GUI and all of the available features. Even regular users of Veeam may struggle to utilize the new features, which makes it more challenging for backup administrators to manage their backups. The platform is not becoming simpler, but rather, it is becoming more complicated over time."

"The SME that helped us with the implementation would probably have more insight because he used it way more than we have. We just use it for making sure that our backups are done daily, and the replications are being performed between sites. We haven't had any issues at all with it other than the fact that there is a slight process to acquire additional licenses if we want to expand our number of hosts. That's because it is based on the number of cores and threads that are used."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

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

"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."

"Veeam is more reasonably priced than some competing products."

"There is a license required for this solution and the price is a bit expensive but it depends on the environment that you have on how much it will cost."

"The tool is reasonably priced for the quality it provides."

"The product is expensive."

"Our licensing cost is $200 a year."

"We have increased our scalability while being able to free up senior resources from recovery activities. I estimate our overall savings to about $20,000 per year."

"We pay every month for Enterprise Plus. There are no additional costs."

"Veeam Backup Replication has a lot of free features. We have a mixture of the paid versions as well as the community version. They are really helpful to us."
