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

"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."

"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."

"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."

"The backups we have been receiving from Veeam Backup Replication on-premise have been good."

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

"The most valuable feature is the ability to restore the VMs into a test environment."

"The solution is quite stable."

"The documentation is very good. It's also easy to install Veeam Backup and Replication."

"The solution is simple to use."

"Veeam ONE is a straightforward solution and compatible with almost all hardware."

"Get only one interface to manage all backup sites, secure them with replication, and manage outside LTO media."

Cons

"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."

"The solution needs improvement in cost."

"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 orchestration feature can be improved. They can improve the virtual machine orchestration to make it similar to VMware. They can also provide an option to automate the backup and recovery and schedule a backup."

"Veeam ONE could improve by having capacity planning, intelligent automatization, and ransomware."

"The scalability of the product in large organizations is an area of concern where improvements are required."

"I think that Veeam could improve some performance issues when the backup itself is restored. I'm also using HPE StoreOnce, which has deduplication, and when I'm trying to test or run backups, it takes a lot of time. I think they could improve the testing for backup copies."

"This is an expensive solution."

"The product's pricing is an area of concern where improvements are required."

"The backup and integration could be improved."

"We try to compare Veeam with other solutions because we are the operations. Then we can give the answers for improvement which is the specific additional system features that other solutions provide."

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."

"Veeam products are less expensive than other products. The licensing costs are low and they're pretty affordable."

"The product is competitively priced."

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the price a five."

"Veeam ONE is offered at a good price."

"The licensing is the worst part of Veeam Backup Replication because for the more complex situations and it's quite difficult and complex. In particular, when mixing different requirements the licensing model is complex. For example, mixing a virtual machine backup and a file server backup in the same installation can be somewhat difficult and is expensive."

"We purchase a license annually."

"The solution is expensive, but it's value for money."

"It is more cost-effective than some of the other solutions, but a lot of that comes down to the fact that we're a reseller. So, depending upon the deal, we do negotiate different price points for different customers. The price varies depending upon the size of the customer, the size of the deal, and the discounts we can negotiate."
