Ingvar  Ingason - PeerSpot reviewer
An affordable product that offers a reasonably good technical support
I rate the product's initial setup phase an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is a difficult setup phase, and ten is an easy setup phase. The product's installation phase took me around two weeks. On average, it usually takes about a week or two to deploy when everything is in place. The solution is deployed on a hybrid cloud from Azure.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Nutanix can converge legacy-style rack mount servers, so it is highly scalable."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...I rate the technical support a nine out of ten."
"We find the ease of use valuable."
"I like the autofill-over feature and the simplicity of the solution."
"We use this solution as an integrated backup solution and it is integrated from the backup provider to the Nutanix solution."
"Nutanix has its own backup system known as HYCU, as well as its own virtual server."
"Synthetic backup is valuable. It gives you the possibility to do a synthesized backup, which means that it combines a full backup and incremental backup data and gives it to you in one stream. So, you don't have to restore the full backup and then later go and restore the incremental backup. You can do that in one go."
"The most valuable feature is the user-friendly interface."
"The product's most valuable feature is scalability."
"Veritas is simple and easy to deploy. In terms of the presentation and UI, they do their job well."
"The backup solution comes in different versions to support different platforms."
"It's quite stable, and so far, we have had no technical issues with Veritas Backup Exec."
"This solution is not complex and you do not have to be too technical to use it."
"The product allows for versatile storage options, enabling users to store data on disk storage, NAS storage, or tape libraries."
 

Cons

"I would like to see the multi-cloud improve."
"Nutanix is not secure enough, and it needs to be more resilient."
"The price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The solution's setup process should be simplified."
"It could be cheaper."
"This solution could be improved with regards to the hosts that integrate with the platform itself. Each of the hosts integrated with the storage and networking only provide one instance of a backup."
"It doesn't support the AIX platform."
"The pricing of the solution is a bit high."
"One area that needs improvement is SQL backup. Backup Exec doesn't support higher availability."
"The solution could improve by having better documentation."
"Veritas Backup Exec could improve the analytics. If there were some more detail in our scan reports it would be beneficial."
"The pricing is an area of improvement and the mode of marketing it."
"Firstly, the GUI for 2014 is mostly confusing, i.e., if you need to add any additional technical features, then it doesn't require a change to the GUI."
"I wish that they have an outlet for the other products from Veritas built into the Backup Exec product. For example, Backup Exec does only server backup. Currently, it is possible to read the backup of one other product, but if they can add more products so that you can just go into the dashboard of these other products by clicking on a button within the Backup Exec product, it would be great."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is affordable or low, and ten is expensive or high, I rate the price as two."

"Nutanix Mine Integrated Backup is fairly priced."
"I think it's sold at the right price. It's not expensive. The license is usually for a year."
"Its price is a bit high. There is only the standard fee. There is no additional fee."
"If your company can afford it, go for it."
"The pricing of Veritas Backup's license is comparable to Veeam."
"The price is reasonable for the features it offers."
