Integrated backups and orchestration have protected critical workloads with zero downtime
Pricing is always a consideration because nowadays the price has increased a lot. We bought our system five years ago and we paid in advance, so we are not yet affected by the price increase. However, we are planning to buy another solution in the very near future because the old one is now phasing out. We are planning to buy a replacement of the existing infrastructure and we are facing a lot of cost issues because they increased the price. Previously it was per socket. Now they moved to per core with many other restrictions. Our experience over the last five years has been very positive, but nowadays we find that Nutanix support is degraded. They started reducing their support. Their new functionality is not as stable. Nutanix has added Kubernetes cluster creation, segmentation, and micro-segmentation. Even their support people are not fully knowledgeable. Their support people are trained for VM-based systems, but now their own internal services are running using Kubernetes and containerization. Their support staff does not have enough knowledge to provide proper support. This may be a transition period where a lot of new functionality has been added and the support staff is not yet well acquainted with it.

Enhanced filtering for advocate emails
Quorum provides an elevated ability to filter on everything from people's location to age to their voting history. This is an extreme feature that will help our advocacy department a lot. It encompasses the ability to formulate emails and calls to action across regions. Their platform is more advanced than our previous one. It provides a smooth training experience and easy terminology for those in the advocacy world.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Nutanix Disaster Recovery needs to have a feature that can automate manual tasks."
"For the last five years, we have had zero downtime."
"The most valuable feature of Nutanix Disaster Recovery is the local storage solution, which significantly boosts performance, especially when transitioning from traditional architecture."
"The main benefits I've seen from using Nutanix Disaster Recovery include its single platform, which is significantly better than VMware, offering improved security, scalability, and multiple communication options."
"Nutanix Disaster Recovery can be used for snapshots, backup, and disaster recovery."
"The most valuable feature of Nutanix Disaster Recovery is the reliability and scalability of being able to swing our workloads across the country."
"The product is very simple and very easy to use."
"The initial setup of Nutanix Disaster Recovery is straightforward and easy."
"This is the best money I spend on my budget."
"The biggest feature is being able to do a file recovery to the original server. That is extremely useful and has saved us a few times when we've had ransomware. In some of those cases, people's computers were locked down by viruses which spread to things they had access to, including server shares. But we were easily able to just restore to four hours prior, instead of a day or two or more ago."
"It does automated tests to the systems to make sure that you could spin them up if you needed to. And if something doesn't come back up in those tests, we get a notification saying the system didn't come back up."
"It's easy to implement, easy to spin up, easily configurable, to drop-in appliances and network. There wasn't a lot of time needed to spin it up."
"Having Quorum gives us 100 percent uptime."
"It is a stable solution."
"I have used the BMR (Bare Metal Restore) in several emergencies and it has absolutely saved my bacon."
"Whether it is a single server failure, storage failure, network failure, a digital attack or a ransomware, or whether it's an application crash or a database corruption, or any kind of natural disaster or data center failure, Quorum ensures the recovery of the complete business process."
 

Cons

"The dashboard could be a bit refreshed, and some configuration parts could be less confusing."
"The major issue with Nutanix is its appliance-based model, which can lead to vendor lock-in."
"Nutanix Disaster Recovery needs to have a feature that can automate manual tasks."
"The solution should include a standard license for the object level and file level."
"Nowadays we find that Nutanix support is degraded. They started reducing their support."
"The product must allow users to create a production domain on the main site in one hypervisor and a backup site on another."
"The solution's bandwidth utilization can be improved further."
"Quorum OnQ can be improved by providing support for other operating systems like Ubuntu."
"There seems to be a lack of technicians. Sometimes they are very busy and I don't hear back for a day or two. The technicians they have are great. They are fantastic, but it seems difficult, at times, to get in contact with anyone."
"There seems to be a lack of technicians. Sometimes they are very busy and I don't hear back for a day or two."
"One thing that could be done to improve it would be a single pane of glass for doing disaster recovery testing, where I could have remote consoles in one place... I still have to go to each location in a browser and then bring up the console. I'd like to see them integrate that into a single pane of glass so I don't have to go to each server."
"Lacks compatibility in terms of supporting other OS."
"One of the complaints from our customers is that the Quorum is expensive, and they question why it is on par with these other products."
"The price of Quorum OnQ could be improved."
"The user interface needs to be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution’s pricing is good."
"Nutanix Disaster Recovery is a cheap solution."
"When we first got the Quorum the licensing was different."
"We have never questioned whether it is worth it because it so obviously is a great value."
"The cost is higher than other software and services, but it is an absolute must-have."
"The pricing is about $1,400 a month. It's a little bit on the higher side. But it's one of those situations where time is valuable for me. So if it costs a little bit more money for me to have a solution that just works and requires less of my day-to-day management, I'm willing to pay a little bit more."
"The initial expenditure for us was a little under $40,000 for the recent renewal. For the first three years after that, other than electricity, there's no cost. After that, their support contract has to be renewed annually. We spent close to $6,000, between the two offices, for support."
"The total for our current solution's licensing is about $14,000 for 12 servers for three years."
"I am not sure how much it costs, but I know it's expensive."
"The solution’s pricing is economical."
