Has improved cost efficiency and streamlined disaster recovery operations through flexible deployment options

The best features of Nutanix Disaster Recovery as a Service are the high availability and failover capabilities. The majority of customers use the One-Click Disaster Recovery orchestration feature, and they are very satisfied with it. One-Click Disaster Recovery improves the overall business processes within an organization. I am very satisfied with its performance, and our customers are equally satisfied. Nutanix Disaster Recovery as a Service's effectiveness in seamless failover to secondary sites is exceptional. The Recovery Point Objective is very small and fast. The metro availability and synchronous replication between different sites work very well. Disaster Recovery Orchestration is also good. The cloud disaster recovery as a service functionality is more than sufficient. Nutanix Disaster Recovery as a Service's audit-proof reporting assists with compliance needs in Saudi Arabia, where we have different compliance certificates. It needs to work more to comply with all available certificates for compliance, including healthcare, financial sector, and Aramco-specific requirements. The positive impact includes cost efficiency, which is the most important point. The pay-as-you-grow model works effectively. The operation is good, and the flexibility for options such as on-premise synchronization, near synchronization, or cloud-based solutions is beneficial. Everything is available within the Nutanix platform, built-in, without extra complexity or fees.

Backup operations have become reliable and reporting now simplifies hybrid cloud protection

Veeam Data Platform has Veeam Enterprise Manager as well as Veeam ONE as valuable features, which allow us to generate various kinds of reports that are required for the customer. Instant VM Recovery is a good feature of the high-speed recovery features in Veeam Data Platform, and Continuous Data Protection (CDP) is also a good feature. Ransomware protection is a good feature added in Veeam Data Platform from version 12 onwards, and the ability to create immutable repositories is also a good feature in Veeam. The analytics part of Veeam Data Platform is a good solution because I have worked on various backup technologies such as EMC NetWorker and NetBackup. However, I have not used the analytical parts currently but will check it out. Streamlining processes as well as saving money are benefits that Veeam Data Platform provides for the end user, as it allows for application-aware backups and database backups without the need for various kinds of licenses that other backup software requires. Veeam offers socket-based licenses, instance-based licenses, and capacity-based licenses, which is a great feature.

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."

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

"One-Click Disaster Recovery improves the overall business processes within an organization, I am very satisfied with its performance, and our customers are equally satisfied."

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

"The solution is stable."

"The most valuable feature is its simplicity."

"One-Click Disaster Recovery improves the overall business processes within an organization, I am very satisfied with its performance, and our customers are equally satisfied."

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

More Nutanix Disaster Recovery as a Service pros

"For me, the most important feature is alerting."

"The most valuable feature of Veeam Backup Replication is application awareness. Additionally, the solution is user-friendly and it has been working very well."

"I'm satisfied with tech support, because the solution is so stable that I haven't had the need to engage any of the engineers yet."

"It's fairly easy to manage and set up."

"It's relatively easy to use and the ability to recover in a short period of time has been great."

"Setting up Veeam is easy, and it's portable, too."

"The most valuable aspects are the latest features in version 12.1, which introduced enhanced security features."

"The feature that we have found most valuable is its traffic plan. The traffic plan is very good."

More Veeam Data Platform pros

Cons

"It needs to work more to comply with all available certificates for compliance, including healthcare, financial sector, and Aramco-specific requirements."

"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."

"The solution needs improvement in cost."

"The pricing could be better."

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

"It needs to work more to comply with all available certificates for compliance, including healthcare, financial sector, and Aramco-specific requirements."

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

"They need better reporting on the environment."

"The solution could improve by having more user-friendly dashboards."

"We're using both Backup and Replication, Veeam Cloud Connect, and Veeam Office 365. What I am missing is a good graphical user interface between these three products."

"One challenge that we have encountered was on the long-term retention of data. Be sure to look into a dedicated deduplication appliance."

"It would be great if Veeam ONE had a business hour reporting feature because sometimes a client would want to know what workers do during business hours and outside of business hours. This type of report will give you the added benefit when you're scaling up and scaling down in the cloud, for example, if I wanted to swap hot and cold storage during specific hours to save on cost. Business hour reporting in Veeam ONE will give you a lot of benefits and added value. Scalability needs to be improved in the solution."

"Veeam Backup & Replication could improve by making it more user-friendly."

"The cost of the product is an area that would prevent me from using it in the future."

"Expanding its compatibility to include Linux would represent a significant advancement."

"It is not easy to navigate, especially with the numerous reports available."

More Veeam Data Platform cons

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."

"We pay yearly licensing fees for Veeam in our data centers where we're using disaster recovery and replication between our many solutions, especially cloud solutions. From the beginning, we've done our licensing from a separate channel through our data center team in Seattle."

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

"The solution is expensive, but it's value for money."

"I would suggest to others that they buy the full license when purchasing this solution."

"It's expensive and costs about 4000 a year."

"We have increased our scalability while being able to free up senior resources from recovery activities. I estimate our overall savings to about $20,000 per year."

"The pricing of the solution could be reduced."

"It is reasonably very cheap. I would rate the licensing model a one out of ten, where one is very affordable and ten is extremely expensive."
