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.

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

"The product is very simple and very easy to use."
"For the last five years, we have had zero downtime."
"The most valuable feature of Nutanix Disaster Recovery is the reliability and scalability of being able to swing our workloads across the country."
"The most valuable feature of Nutanix Disaster Recovery is the local storage solution, which significantly boosts performance, especially when transitioning from traditional architecture."
"Nutanix Disaster Recovery can be used for snapshots, backup, and disaster recovery."
"Nutanix Disaster Recovery needs to have a feature that can automate manual tasks."
"The initial setup of Nutanix Disaster Recovery is straightforward and easy."
"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."
"The whole replication aspect of the solution is excellent because it compresses the data so well."
"I truly like the solution; it is easy, fast, and reliable when it comes to growth."
"Replication feature is very useful to instantly recover a VM."
"Veeam Data Platform offers features specifically designed for ransomware defense."
"The solution works well in two different environments, whether it is on-premises, cloud, or a combination."
"When compared to Tape or other virtual solutions Veeam is by far the most cost effective."
"With a proper configuration of this product we were able to restore the Hyper-V Infrastructure to our 2nd Data Center and restore functionality to about 20 Hospitals and Imaging centers around the state of Ohio."
"The feature that we have found most valuable is its traffic plan. The traffic plan is very good."
 

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."
"On a scale of one to ten, I would rate the Nutanix support team a five due to some responsiveness issues."
"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 should include a standard license for the object level and file level."
"The solution's bandwidth utilization can be improved further."
"Active Directory, because if we could restore GPO as a single level object as well as restoring AD schema partition through backup then I think it will be great product."
"The product must be able to perform different types of backups."
"Physical backup is always where room for improvement could be but Veeam has always stated they are not going in that direction."
"If they could add more support for all of the modern hypervisors, that would make Veeam much better and more flexible to work with. For example, there is no solution for VM to VM replication when it comes to Oracle OEM servers."
"On a scale from one to ten, I would give their support a rating of zero."
"We have had problems with some jobs. For example, when we have a VM with a large SQL Database, sometimes we cannot adjust the time for transaction logs to back up and overlap time."
"There is a limitation on the bare metal backup."
"I would like to see improvements in the GUI and in navigation."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution’s pricing is good."
"The solution is fairly priced. I rate the pricing a five out of ten."
"I would say that the product is fairly priced."
"The licenses are code-based or server-based for Veeam ONE. The last version is 12, and it is host-based, I don't like to move to a code-based solution."
"The price is slightly higher than its competitors."
"The price is quite fair."
"I have not used the resale license in our testing environments. Sometimes, our customers used the trial license for 30 days and so on."
"We are fine with its pricing policy."
