"HYCU is a great life saver for all of our customers"

4.5/5

What do you like best about HYCU?

HYCU integrates great with Nutanix and is very straightforward to use and set up.

The customer support team consistently responds quickly and provides helpful, relevant information to solve our issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HYCU?

I find myself missing certain features that are present in some of HYCU's competitors.

One example is restoring Active Directory users directly from HYCU, which unfortunately is not possible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is HYCU solving and how is that benefiting you?

We run a Nutanix cluster in our datacenter, hosting 200+ virtual machines for different customers in varying sizes.

HYCU gives us peace of mind that all workloads are properly protected and easily recoverable, without the need for constant manual checks or complex configurations. The tight integration with Nutanix makes backup and recovery feel like a natural part of the environment, rather than an extra task to manage. It just works, and that lets us focus on delivering value to our customers instead of worrying about backups. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A refreshingly easy backup solution"

5/5

What do you like best about HYCU?

Hycu is easy to use, easy to maintain as a product. The interface is simple and with little knowledge you can set it up with help from a great partner. Their support also makes problem solving easy and their skilful knowledge makes problem disappear like snow for the sun. The number of connected platforms also grows with the time, making it a go to central SaaS backup solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HYCU?

The logs showing the errors sometimes require a more in-depth knowledge to resolve, making it so sometimes one needs to contact Hycu for something that in hindsight was very simple if the error was a little clearer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Reliable and easy-to-use backup solution"

5/5

What do you like best about HYCU?

HYCU is very straightforward to deploy and configure. I like that it supports both on-premises workloads and SaaS applications in one platform. The interface is simple to navigate, scheduling backups is quick, and restores are reliable. Customer support is also fast and helpful whenever I need assistance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HYCU?

Reporting could be more detailed when handling many backups at once. Sometimes error messages are not very clear, so it takes extra time to troubleshoot. Costs can also increase depending on the amount of data or advanced features you need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is HYCU solving and how is that benefiting you?

HYCU helps us centralize SaaS data protection in a single platform. It ensures our SaaS applications are backed up regularly and can be restored quickly when needed. This improves compliance, reduces downtime, and saves time compared to managing multiple backup tools. I feel confident that the product is evolving in the right direction, as it continues to add integrations and simplify operations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Solid Backup Solution with Great Support!"

5/5

What do you like best about HYCU?

The support is top notch. They always respond quickly and even go out of their way to find custom solutions if you encounter specific issues.

Super easy to setup and administrator - UI is intuitive for daily use.

Does not require an additional VM or license to run -- purpose built.

Easily integrates into our Nutanix clusters.

Upgrades/patching is very easy.

Backups run smoothly and consistently. Very seldom failed jobs or data integrity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HYCU?

Not necessary, but basic linux / SSH skils are helpful to help the support process.

Would like to see some more built-in reports -- Custom reports are sometimes hard to get the exact data we need without manual work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good support and integrates nicely with Nutanix/AHV"

4.5/5

What do you like best about HYCU?

Integrates very nicely with Nutanix.

It only takes an hour to deploy and have backups working. It gives a clear snapshot of what's working and what's not.

Their support has always been great, and it requires little maintenance Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HYCU?

The update process can be a little clunky in Nutanix.

I wish it supported immutable backups and the ability to turn on a backup, take a screenshot, and include that in an email as part of a backup validation check. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easiest to Use Backup Solution"

5/5

What do you like best about HYCU?

HYCU has been a great backup solution. Our old solution failed to keep up with the times and when it was time to upgrade HYCU provided us the perfect solution. I have been able to recover from lost data to many times to remember. The few times I have needed tech support they responded quickly and helped resolve the issues on the first call. Could not be happier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HYCU?

We have been using HYCU for 3 years and I have not found any negatives to report. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to deploy and use"

4.5/5

What do you like best about HYCU?

A very strong immutable backup solution, there are few natively immutable solutions on the market, and this is without a doubt a strong contender. The rapid recovery times are a huge factor for this too.

All of this if designed from the ground up with ease of use and implementation in mind. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HYCU?

Hycu fully support all objects or restore operations Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is HYCU solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have a plethora of SaaS apps which other backup solutions do not support, Hycu was my only option. However, Hycu is not acting like a last resort but is infact acting like it should be peoples first choice. Providing second to none capabilities and a fantastic ease of use throughout and was plain and simple to set up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Strong Nutanix Integration"

4.5/5

What do you like best about HYCU?

I’ve been using HYCU primarily for our Nutanix environment, and honestly, it’s one of the best backup and recovery tools I’ve worked with. What really stands out to me is how tightly integrated it is with Nutanix — it feels like it was built for it from the ground up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HYCU?

The pricing model can feel a bit high compared to other backup tools, especially when you start protecting workloads outside Nutanix (like VMware or cloud).

It would be nice if licensing was a little more flexible or easier to predict as environments scale Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is HYCU solving and how is that benefiting you?

Before using HYCU, managing backups across our Nutanix environment was more complicated than it needed to be. We were dealing with multiple tools, manual configurations, and a lack of clear visibility into what was actually protected. HYCU solved that by giving us a simple, unified backup and recovery solution that integrates directly with Nutanix. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Thank you for sharing how HYCU has simplified and unified your backup and recovery process across your Nutanix environment. We're committed to providing a solution that streamlines and enhances data protection for our customers.

"Dependable / reliable backups"

5/5

What do you like best about HYCU?

It is easy to work with. The GUI is easy to understand and use. With the reports, you can be sure you got you backups. It is also easy to test and confirm as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HYCU?

The only downside I had have been answered in the new version. Changes to scanning for ransomware and new DR options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Came for the Nutanix integration...stayed because it is a great product"

4.5/5

What do you like best about HYCU?

Easy to use, lots of builtin features and solid performance. Works when we need it to.

Support is helpful whenever we need assistance or upgrades. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HYCU?

We don't know everything it can do. We use it as a backup and restore engine, but I think we could utilize other features (software cataloging, etc) better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
