Offers replication flexibility across multiple environments, including local centers and secondary sites

It offers key features like any point-in-time recovery without needing scheduled snapshots. It allows for automated VM protection during processes like failover and testing, and it offers replication flexibility across multiple environments, including local centers and secondary sites. It also provides IP address management when network configurations differ across sites.

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 workload can be moved directly if the disaster site is the main site."

"One of the standout features of Dell RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines is its real-time data protection capability."

"Continuous replication with lower RTO and RPO is the most innovative feature. Its tight integration with VMware for VMware VMs is also valuable."

"The solution is quite stable. We haven't experienced any kind of bug or glitch. We haven't experienced crashes."

"The most valuable feature is that it is journal-based and you don't have to replicate a lot of data."

"The most valuable features are the data center recovery administration and the time of recovery."

"The speed and the footprint the solution uses regarding storage are great."

"The technical support from Dell is excellent."

More Dell RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines pros

"The tool's most valuable feature is ease of use."

"The solution is stable."

"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."

"It offers synchronous data replication, allowing us to sync our recovery data every hour and efficiently send applications to remote sites."

"It is a very secure and scalable solution, and their support is also outstanding."

"Hyper-convergence gives me the ability to patch my firmware, software, and hypervisors with a single click. That is extremely useful."

Cons

"The solution currently supports only VMware."

"Maybe integration with Kubernetes for OpenShift would be helpful."

"The solution currently supports only VMware. There is increasing demand for compatibility with other hypervisors, such as Hyper V and KVM Proxmox. Additionally, licensing has become less flexible and more expensive."

"I would like to have the HTML 5 interface working because it is currently not functioning with the VMware environment."

"In the next release of this software, I would like to see options that help to decrease the bandwidth required, such as compressing the data."

"It should have features for recovering a group of virtual machines and full-scale security. For recovering all the VMs at once, they don't have a GUI option, and we have to use the command line."

"The configuration process seems a bit challenging, and the installation takes a bit longer than expected."

"The solution could improve by being more easier to use. However, once you have used it for a while it becomes easier. Additionally, there could be better support and compatibility with management by having a command-line interface. This would be beneficial for the customers."

More Dell RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines cons

"I think that Nutanix should support public clouds instead of the Nutanix data centers."

"The pricing could be better."

"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 solution needs improvement in cost."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a license required for this solution and the pricing depends on how many virtual machines you have."

"This is not a very cheap solution and compared to others, it is expensive."

"It was a part of a backup solution. So, it was free for us."

"This is an expensive product."

"Pricing-wise, it is pretty much fair for any customer who only has a VMware environment. Licensing is based on the number of VMs that you want to protect at any given point in time. Licensing is not based on size."

"The tool is expensive. If one means cheaply priced and ten means expensive, I rate the tool's price as a seven."

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

"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."

"I always want it to be cheaper."
