Jaimin Mehta

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

"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."

"We haven't needed anyone to maintain or deploy the solution. The traditional Nutanix administrator can administer the solution."

"The solution is stable."

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

"The most valuable feature is its simplicity."

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

"I like all of Veeam's features, but the most important ones are the tape backups and replication. Those are the two options available for us, and it's enough for our needs."

"First, I like that this solution is fast. Second, I like the stability and flexibility."

"Its performance is fine. It supports us very well. It is able to support our policy for RTO, RPO, and other things that we need."

"The technical support is good."

"I think Veeam ONE is great as it is, it does everything I need."

"My customers find the backup and recovery ease of use is the most beneficial feature."

"It's streamlined the backup and recovery for my customers in the sense that it has an easy management console that's easy to set up any type of instant recovery."

"Veeam Backup & Replication is a scalable solution."

Cons

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

"The solution needs improvement in cost."

"The product is more costly than other platforms. The price 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 pricing could be better."

"Veeam doesn't have the reporting part quite right. Its data visualization isn't as slick as other solutions like Veritas. For example, in Veritas, you can see a calendar that shows you which days are backed up. Veeam lacks features like that."

"It would be better if the solution presented the number of servers and the success rate on the dashboard."

"The user interface needs to be improved. It could be simpler to use."

"It would be preferable if they could introduce a complete Linux version instead of relying solely on Microsoft for management. There should be a unified integration of all their products. Currently, there are various products like cloud backup and others that exist separately. It would be better if they could create a single comprehensive platform or product, as opposed to having disparate products that lack proper communication between them."

"Could be improved with hybrid cloud integration backup."

"Veeam Data Platform lacks cyber security tools."

"Since the solution has many options, it is not easier to give tasks to schedule it."

"They need to focus more on cloud backup."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"I always want it to be cheaper."

"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."

"The price of Veeam Backup Replication is reasonable. It is not inexpensive nor is it expensive, it is in the middle range compared to other solutions. There can be additional costs for addons."

"The price of Veeam Backup Replication is reasonable."

"I have not used the resale license in our testing environments. Sometimes, our customers used the trial license for 30 days and so on."

"Veeam is more reasonably priced than some competing products."

"The price of Veeam Backup and Replication is expensive."

"The product is expensive."

"If you have Veeam Backup and Replication with the essential license then this solution is free. If you were to purchase Veeam ONE by itself it is priced cheaper than competitors."

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