Celso Toledo - PeerSpot reviewer
A reliable and scalable solution that can be used to ensure workloads are replicated when needed
A couple of years back, our data center was located in Fort Lauderdale, known as Hurricane Alley. We would swing our workloads or production data center into our Dallas data center from July the first until the whole hurricane season. Once hurricane season was done, we would swing everything back to South Florida on November the first. Currently, we have a state-of-the-art data center in Ashburn, Virginia. Since it is a location with no hurricanes, we've got less movement from a failing-over perspective. From a compliance perspective, we need to show our compliance partners that we can cut over a data center should we need to and run out of a different data center somewhere else. This is necessary for compliance, insurance, and HIPAA compliance.

Cost-efficient, highly scalable, and installable on different types of hardware
They could improve on support a little bit. We have not had to engage their support much, but when we do have issues, it can take longer to get things resolved. We are pretty lenient as we do a lot of IT support ourselves. We are not very hard on support organizations, but when a customer has a support issue, it would be easier if the support processes were a little bit more automated. It would be beneficial to have an easier way to upload diagnostic dump files. They can make it easy for the customer to collect the diagnostic data. There can be some kind of monitoring solutions to alert users to issues with the appliance or software, making it easy for customers to monitor their systems in the field. This is especially critical because it stores customers' backups, and a failure can have significant business impacts. If a customer does not have the backups and has a disaster, they can be out of business, so monitoring is key.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Nutanix Disaster Recovery can be used for snapshots, backup, and disaster recovery."
"Nutanix Disaster Recovery needs to have a feature that can automate manual tasks."
"The product is very simple and very easy to use."
"The most valuable feature of Nutanix Disaster Recovery is the local storage solution, which significantly boosts performance, especially when transitioning from traditional architecture."
"The most valuable feature of Nutanix Disaster Recovery is the reliability and scalability of being able to swing our workloads across the country."
"It integrates with various backup software solutions, which makes it compatible with existing backup workflows and processes."
"The dedupe and compression are pretty extreme. On disk, we're getting dedupe rates of up to 65 percent of data and compression of 34 percent. When you go to the cloud, it's more like 76 percent for dedupe and almost 50 percent for compression."
"This software solution can be installed on many different types of hardware, which makes it very flexible. We can run it on virtual machines or virtual servers, providing convenience for solutions of varying sizes, from small to large."
"Quest QoreStor is very stable compared to our previous solution."
"I would rate QoreStor a ten out of ten for what it offers for the price."
"QoreStor has helped us to reduce our backup storage requirements on-premises. We've been using the same devices for quite a while, and so it lets us keep using them as opposed to having to rip out all that hardware and create a new on-prem solution. The advantage here is even if we had to retire the hardware tomorrow, the QoreStor part doesn't change. We just have to have additional hardware and put the solution back on whatever hardware we pick and it'll do the same thing."
"Deduplication is the most valuable feature. It saves us a lot of space. When we back up 100 terabytes of data, after dedupe, it only uses maybe five to six terabytes for the disk space in QoreStor."
"The features we use for the data deduplication are nice because we're able to back up a much larger amount of data, yet it doesn't necessarily take up that much data on the devices."
 

Cons

"The dashboard could be a bit refreshed, and some configuration parts could be less confusing."
"The solution should include a standard license for the object level and file level."
"The solution's bandwidth utilization can be improved further."
"The product must allow users to create a production domain on the main site in one hypervisor and a backup site on another."
"Nutanix Disaster Recovery needs to have a feature that can automate manual tasks."
"The setup of the software is definitely not the easiest thing. I worked a lot with Quest engineers, especially in the early days when we were first testing it and trying it out. I actually had some of the developers working with us at one point because they were going through these point releases, and I was having trouble getting it to work in this S3-compatible situation. We got it all working eventually, but setup is definitely not the easiest thing in the world."
"In terms of improvement, we would like to have an Air Gap feature to prevent a virus from attaching to something. So that when we don't do a backup, we want the QoreStor to stay offline. It would be a nice feature to have."
"The installation could use improvement. The initial installation was a little touchy and it's not really user-installable. You have to have a connection to support to install."
"They need to increase their maximum capacity. Other than that, they're doing a pretty good job."
"Overall, I am happy with this solution, but a way to export configuration settings would be beneficial."
"They could improve on support a little bit. We have not had to engage their support much, but when we do have issues, it can take longer to get things resolved."
"The management interface is in need of improvement. The graphical user interface (GUI) for the web management tools appears clunky, and not super intuitive."
"There can be some kind of monitoring solutions to alert users to issues with the appliance or software, making it easy for customers to monitor their systems in the field."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution’s pricing is good."
"Nutanix Disaster Recovery is a cheap solution."
"Its pricing model is very attractive. You have one price, and you get everything from QoreStor."
"The pricing is good. It is competitive for a managed services provider. I like the ability to pay by the terabyte, allowing for an incremental cost that we and our customers can afford, so the solution grows with the customer."
"The cost is per terabyte, and overall, the cost was reasonable when compared to some competitors."
"Quest QoreStor's pricing is affordable. We evaluated Veeam, a well-known company for backup solutions, but found their pricing to be quite high. Veeam's price was almost double. For us, Quest QoreStor is very affordable."
