Hycu Backup and Recovry

We have had a very good experience with product implementation and design from HYCU, and have extended our clusters with WORM and Azure with significant support from HYCU.

What they liked
  • The feature is simple to use and manage, the updates are straightforward with minimum downtime, and is integrated very well with Nutanix AHV
  • The support is of a very high standard from the documentation with Nutanix, and also the product knowledge of the support staff, of not HYCU but all of the applications backed up
Room for improvement

We have asked for a few more features on the Validity testing, and forever incremental backups

Why they chose it

"HYCU integrates very smartly with Nutanix, and in this case proved a perfect fit to our requirements."

HYCU Works Great and Requires Very Little Maintenance

We back up many virtual machines and are easily able to send backups to our local data infrastructure as well as copies out to the cloud for off-site backups. We have many different policies set with different backup frequencies and retention levels. It has been a great asset to our server infrastructure.

What they liked

The thing I like the most about this product is the ease of use and dependability it provides

Room for improvement
  • The only thing I have felt it is missing is SAML SSO authentication
Switched From

Unitrends was clunky and not easy to use or maintain.

Why they chose it

"Price and look and feel of the console."

HYCU is a trusted partner

It has been a set it and let it run tool for us, of course we verify backups daily but unless we change something, it just works.

What they liked
  • Easy to use and great support and documentation
Room for improvement
  • There is a learning curve with HYCU
  • Moving from traditional backup software to HYCU backup anytime and figuring out policy setup took a little bit but I had a backup running within 3 hours of starting the setup process
Switched From

Moved to Nutanix and vRanger did not support Nutanix at the time.

Vendor Agnostic, Space Efficient, and Secure Backups! All under a single pane of glass!

HYCU Protégé DPaaS has been extremely easy to implement and then even EASIER to maintain. We can rely on reporting to tell us if something has gone wrong or action is required. Otherwise, HYCU does it job...so we can do ours. HYCU is reliable, robust, efficient, and secure!

What they liked
  • HYCU, with the vendor agnostic storage capabilities, allows for backup across On-Prem and Cloud environments
  • Whether systems and applications are in-house (Nutanix, VMware Dell PowerScaler (Isilon), SaaS solutions such as Microsoft 365 or others, or machines living in the hyperscalers (Azure, AWS, or Google Cloud), HYCU can do it all
  • HYCU is also - SIMPLE
  • A few clicks and storage is configured, backup policies are set, and virtual machines and workloads are being backed up
  • No more Windows Server OSes to maintain for the backup controller
  • Easy as advertised and secure
Room for improvement
  • HYCU is one of the younger vendors out there on the market, so there are a bit of growing pains
  • But
  • their team is responsive and reactive and operates with great care and efficiency
  • Be patient
