We performed a comparison between Nutanix Disaster Recovery as a Service and VMware SRM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Disaster Recovery (DR) Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We haven't needed anyone to maintain or deploy the solution. The traditional Nutanix administrator can administer the solution."
"The solution is stable."
"It offers synchronous data replication, allowing us to sync our recovery data every hour and efficiently send applications to remote sites."
"Hyper-convergence gives me the ability to patch my firmware, software, and hypervisors with a single click. That is extremely useful."
"The tool's most valuable feature is ease of use."
"It is a very secure and scalable solution, and their support is also outstanding."
"The most valuable feature is the automation, where you press a button and everything fails over seamlessly."
"VMware SRM is a very nice tool for disaster recovery for virtual environments."
"It has a good and effective user interface."
"I would rate the ease of setting up and configuring my recovery plan in VMware SRM, a ten out of ten, with ten being the easiest."
"The solution runs well in the background, just in case we need it."
"The replication is the solution's most valuable feature. If we have some issues on the VM in the main site we can migrate it to another site automatically."
"In terms of resiliency, the most valuable aspect of SRM has been its effectiveness."
"It is a very stable solution...I was involved in VMware SRM's deployment phase two years ago, and it was an easy process."
"The pricing could be better."
"The solution needs improvement in cost."
"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."
"They need better reporting on the environment."
"The product is more costly than other platforms. The price could be better."
"I think that Nutanix should support public clouds instead of the Nutanix data centers."
"Technical support can take some time to respond."
"In general, the drawbacks of VMware SRM, where improvements can be made, stem from the fact that it is an expensive and complex product."
"We've had configuration issues on occasion. We start to fail over, and then we have to call it off because the configuration is not right, or the data stores aren't configured correctly in the secondary data center. Oftentimes, it is just the experience level of the team, and we have to bring in the vendor to help and validate our configuration."
"The administration guides can be complicated and difficult to use, so it would be helpful if it was made easier."
"It has a lot of dependencies on VMware infrastructure, and testing can be complex. Testing often requires extensive approval at the organizational level."
"Cost is definitely an area where the product could be improved."
"They could enhance the automation features for the product."
"You cannot use VMware SRM in conjunction with storage replication software."
