Considered Both Products	HYCU Verified User Anonymous Chose HYCU This fits Nutanix better than anything I have found. HYCU clearly focuses on personalized service. You can email, call or open a web ticketed, depending on your urgency. Incentivized Helpful? JC John Carver Computer and Information Systems Manager Chose HYCU I have used several backup programs, I selected 2 just to be brief. The best thing I see with HYCU over Veeam is that it is much more difficult for an attacker if inside the network to gain access to the backups and objects saved in the backup storage. The best part about HYCU … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose HYCU We moved from VMware w/ Veeam to Hyper-V w/ Microsoft Data Protection Manager. Each backup solution worked well for its respective workload. We made the jump to AHV on Nutanix. MSFT DPM wasn’t compatible and HYCU was a better value than Veeam. Incentivized Helpful?

AS Alan Sidles President Chose Microsoft System Center Data Protection Manager (DPM) We selected it simply because it is less expensive than the competition, but yet just as good. We saw no reason to go outside the walls of Microsoft for this task. We are satisfied with the product. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Microsoft System Center Data Protection Manager (DPM) I think they're very good tools, but Data Protector has lots of client options, while with Microsoft Data Protection Manager the focus is windows. But, Microsoft Data Protection Manager is much better in a virtual machine (Hyper-V world) and windows servers. If this is your … Incentivized Helpful?

User Testimonials
	HYCU	Microsoft System Center Data Protection Manager (DPM)
Likelihood to Recommend	It’s well suited for Nutanix AHV data protection and includes the ability for immutable backups via WORM policy. I’m unsure of its performance in environments that use Hyper-V OR VMware for virtualization. The use of tiered backups without additional policies are great when creating new VMs, even automatically assigning a default backup policy to ensure that all workloads have at least a minimal level of data protection Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Well suited for domain disaster recovery. I would avoid considering it for remote or non-domain disaster recovery. While it claims to have the ability, and we have used it this way for years, it often loses it's connection to the DPM server for no apparent reason, and has to be reconfigured. It doesn't always seem to work Incentivized AS Alan Sidles President Read full review
Pros	Backup of virtual machines. Upload to Cloud backups. Recovery of databases backed up through HYCU. Incentivized JC John Carver Computer and Information Systems Manager Read full review	Clustered Hyper-V VM backup and restore. Easy to have multiple restore points. Can back up different workloads with the same solution. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	Better DR support guidance/best practices Reporting isn’t straightforward and as customizable as I’d like Including M365 backups without additional cost would be a big value add for us Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Remote and non-domain backups could be simplified. Incentivized AS Alan Sidles President Read full review
Usability	Very simple interface. Can learn it in a day. The instances where I needed a little hand holding, I just called support and they assisted immediately. That's the best of both worlds. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Support Rating	I have had several requests, and issues with the rollout and deployment of HYCU in our production environment. The HYCU team of support and developers have met each issue with importance and some kind of resolution or explanation of help. They have been so supportive even in the not so easy ones. That says something for their product and team behind it. Incentivized JC John Carver Computer and Information Systems Manager Read full review	No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	I have used several backup programs, I selected 2 just to be brief. The best thing I see with HYCU over Veeam is that it is much more difficult for an attacker if inside the network to gain access to the backups and objects saved in the backup storage. The best part about HYCU over Bacula is that it is much easier to use and more stable. The interface alone will save you from time and energy using other products Incentivized JC John Carver Computer and Information Systems Manager Read full review	Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Return on Investment	I trust this product to protect our organization if things go badly. I am able to not lose sleep thinking about backups.
