Featured Reviews

Ingvar  Ingason - PeerSpot reviewer
Channel Sales Manager at Arrow Electronics
An affordable product that offers a reasonably good technical support
I rate the product's initial setup phase an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is a difficult setup phase, and ten is an easy setup phase. The product's installation phase took me around two weeks. On average, it usually takes about a week or two to deploy when everything is in place. The solution is deployed on a hybrid cloud from Azure.

Ease of deployment and excellent support ensures seamless data security
I am working with Veritas Backup Exec, and that is the one I use. The value of using Veritas Backup Exec across physical and virtual environments is significant. I had a chance to use Veritas Backup Exec on physical and virtual environments, but not on the cloud. The benefits from the platform support of Veritas Backup Exec are that it works very nicely for physical and virtual environments. Veritas Backup Exec is affordable for my customers. My customers use the solution on-premises and in virtualization. Securing the data for customers is obviously a significant benefit of Veritas Backup Exec. I highly recommend using Veritas Backup Exec for backup as it is very easy to use, easy to deploy, and the support is also very nice. On a scale of 1-10, I rate Veritas Backup Exec a 9.5.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We find the ease of use valuable."
"Nutanix can converge legacy-style rack mount servers, so it is highly scalable."
"We use this solution as an integrated backup solution and it is integrated from the backup provider to the Nutanix solution."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...I rate the technical support a nine out of ten."
"I like the autofill-over feature and the simplicity of the solution."
"Nutanix has its own backup system known as HYCU, as well as its own virtual server."
"We are happy with Veritas Backup Exec's stability."
"It is a scalable product."
"The ease-of-use in general is great."
"For us, the main two features that we appreciate in this application are backup and restore. They are the main purposes for which we are using this application."
"I have not seen another backup solution as scalable as this one."
"The implementation is straightforward."
"Veritas Backup Exec is fully compatible with different tape libraries."
"The solution is very scalable. Whenever we grew, it was just a matter of adding new licenses, so it's easy to grow."
 

Cons

"This solution could be improved with regards to the hosts that integrate with the platform itself. Each of the hosts integrated with the storage and networking only provide one instance of a backup."
"The solution's setup process should be simplified."
"Nutanix is not secure enough, and it needs to be more resilient."
"The price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"I would like to see the multi-cloud improve."
"It could be cheaper."
"The solution is too heavy and complex with 1,000 menus and options that make it messy rather than lightweight."
"In the future, their console should not be complicated."
"The solution could improve and adapt to new applications in the market so we can integrate Veritas Backup Exec with them to facilitate backup processes within these applications."
"Veritas Backup Exec should improve by having a user portal that customers can use."
"They can improve the reporting component. The reports aren't user-friendly at all. You have to download them to Excel to get statistics."
"The scalability could be improved even though the solution is targeted to small customers."
"There needs to be an integration process of the endpoint devices so that we don't have to redo everything for different products."
"The one thing which could be improved, which we have informed Veritas about, is the ability to plug in to the cloud. Meaning, instead of using local storage if we're backing up a small user or end user, we want to be able to make it so they can direct the backups directly to the cloud. It can't be done at the moment. We can only back up to the storage then replicate to the cloud, but we cannot use the cloud as a source of storage."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Nutanix Mine Integrated Backup is fairly priced."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is affordable or low, and ten is expensive or high, I rate the price as two."
"I rate the pricing a five out of ten because the price is average."
"While Nutanix Mine is extremely expensive for small businesses, it is a very cost-effective product for enterprise businesses."
"I think, at least for the price I've seen, it could be lower compared to other products."
"It's a good price for the product."
"It is not an expensive product."
"Depending on the scenario, it can cost less than half of the price of other methods."
"I rate the product's pricing a six out of ten."
"Pricing is similar, but they don´t offer the same options/technology."
"The pricing is good."
"We are satisfied with the price of this solution."
