Featured Reviews

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.

A tool that offers scalability and stability along with simplicity
Veeam Data Platform uses only a limited set of features. The product's pricing is an area of concern where improvements are required. Our company will eventually renew the licenses, and then we will discuss internally the cost in the upcoming year because we don't have the time to switch to another solution. If my company gets a solution that does the same job as Veeam Data Platform for a lower price, then we may switch over to that product only because of pricing. Our company uses the tool for its features that allow for the backing up of virtual machines and SQL databases, so it is not a big deal to switch over to another solution since we don't have a very large system in that sense. My company only has around 15 to 20 virtual machines, so any tool that provides backup for the virtual machines and helps us with the replication to another location is okay for us.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The tool's most valuable feature is ease of use."
"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 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."
"It offers synchronous data replication, allowing us to sync our recovery data every hour and efficiently send applications to remote sites."
"The solution is stable."
"The backup and replication capabilities are quite good."
"The solution offers a very straightforward setup."
"I know it's not exactly a feature, but I accept it works and it's easy to use. With the Veeam Backup & Replication, we have no problems in managing restore. Obviously, the most important thing about backup software. I used to say that every backup software can make backups, but only good ones can make a restore."
"It's scalable."
"It lets you verify a backup with the least amount of effort."
"One person can manage parameters."
"Veeam communicates with the vCenter in VMware, which means it's very smooth and doesn't interrupt production on VMware and you can backup or restore anytime, anywhere."
"When it comes to service cases, I would choose Veeam Data Platform over Commvault because restoring from Commvault can be time-consuming due to filtering tasks. Veeam Data Platform, on the other hand, offers a much simpler and faster restore process."
 

Cons

"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."
"I think that Nutanix should support public clouds instead of the Nutanix data centers."
"They need better reporting on the environment."
"The pricing could be better."
"The solution needs improvement in cost."
"The product is more costly than other platforms. The price could be better."
"The automation could be better."
"The documentation and communication could be better in Veeam Backup Replication."
"I cannot recall coming across any features that were lacking."
"The database backup process could be improved. It would be beneficial to enhance this feature and also consider the addition of a web interface to increase accessibility."
"The price could be optimized, and I am still waiting for support for physical hardware. However, it is currently easy to back up and restore environments with this software."
"We would like to have the ability to perform more things on the web interface. The heavy client is still needed to perform advanced tasks."
"If you upgrade too quickly, you may have issues."
"In future releases, I would like to see the solution provide auto resolution and auto relocation of resources."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I always want it to be cheaper."
"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."
"The product is inexpensive."
"The price is great. It's software related, and I know that might be a good thing because it's a cheap solution to buy and we have been looking for a program for backup and they fit the bill."
"We pay every month for Enterprise Plus. There are no additional costs."
"I find the pricing to be okay."
"The price of Veeam Backup Replication is reasonable."
"The product is expensive."
"The pricing depends on the number of clients. We pay 10,00 USD per year. On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing an eight out of ten."
"The price is a bit high. Licensing type is VMware friendly, so it is easy."

VMware SRM vs. Veeam vs. Zerto
Disaster recovery planning is something that seems challenging for all businesses. Virtualization in addition to its operational flexibility, and cost reduction benefits, has helped companies improve their DR posture. Virtualization has made it easier to move machines from production to…
