Jaimin Mehta - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

The solution can be used for DR testing and allows running an infinite number of full backups
When we consider the backup model of other products like Veeam, their incremental backup just adds to their first full backup. With Veritas System Recovery, we have the option to run an infinite number of full backups according to our requirements. With my cloud version of Veritas System Recovery, I can have a full backup every month, which is not possible with any other vendors. Other vendors will claim that the original copy is strong enough, but the customers have to ensure that bugs won't cause any problems in the future. However, with Veritas System Recovery, you can run a full backup this month and again run a full backup on the first or thirtieth day of the next month.

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 most valuable feature is its simplicity."
"It is a very secure and scalable solution, and their support is also outstanding."
"The solution is stable."
"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."
"The solution captures the system state, so when we restore the system, it will be restored to the state it was in at the time of the backup."
"The installation was straightforward."
"The tool helps automate system recovery. The solution is most useful in scenarios involving restoration to a different environment. For instance, when migrating from a physical server to a virtual one, the tool facilitates conversion."
"It has a user-friendly interface."
"With Veritas System Recovery, we have the option to run an infinite number of full backups according to our requirements."
"The solution has helped reduce my company's cost by around 50 to 60 percent."
"You can back up the whole image."
"Offers good recovery quickly."
 

Cons

"The solution needs improvement in cost."
"I think that Nutanix should support public clouds instead of the Nutanix data centers."
"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."
"They need better reporting on the environment."
"The product is more costly than other platforms. The price could be better."
"The pricing could be better."
"Veritas System Recovery’s pricing and local support need some improvement."
"The tool's deployment could be easier. The deployment itself isn't the issue; rather, the problem lies in configuring policies and testing everything before it's ready. We invest a significant amount of time in preparing for various scenarios. However, we often encounter situations where changes have occurred since our initial preparations. This can render the automation less valuable."
"The pricing could be cheaper."
"The reliability is sometimes lacking."
"It needs an easier interface."
"We faced issues with recovery and restoration."
"The product's integration capabilities are an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"Veritas System Recovery Manager offers some manager solutions, but there is room for improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"My company has to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the solution. There is no need to pay any additional fees apart from the licensing costs attached to the solution."
