HYCU has been an absolute game-changer in the way we manage backups and disaster recovery. After years of dealing with bloated, overly complex backup solutions, HYCU’s native snapshot-based protection finally brought the efficiency, speed, and reliability we needed across our entire environment.

One of HYCU’s biggest strengths is how seamlessly it integrates with platforms like Nutanix, leveraging native snapshots instead of relying on heavy agents or clunky legacy workflows. This not only reduces overhead but also makes backup operations remarkably fast and lightweight. Recovery has become equally streamlined on what used to take hours is now accomplished in minutes with clean, intuitive restore options that don’t require digging through layers of unnecessary menus.

The user experience is another standout feature. HYCU’s intuitive workflows make it incredibly easy to configure policies, manage protection groups, and monitor backup status without needing deep-dive training or certification. Everything is where it should be, and the interface guides you naturally through every step. Even junior team members have found it effortless to navigate.

Backup validation is often ignored or overly complicated in other platforms is refreshingly simple with HYCU. The ability to quickly and easily verify backup integrity gives us the confidence that our data is protected and recoverable when it matters most. No more guessing, no more manual checks, and no more “I hope this works” during a crisis.

Overall, HYCU has significantly streamlined our backup and recovery operations, improved system performance, and given us a level of reliability we simply didn’t have before. For organizations looking for a modern, snapshot-aware, user-friendly backup solution that actually delivers on its promises, HYCU is absolutely the right choice.

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.

It works natively with Nutanix AHV. Simple to deploy and manage. It just works. If it doesn't, support is very quick to respond and stays with you until you are happy the issue is resolved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Scheduling jobs is only able to be done by days and hours when certain jobs are allowed to run via policies. You cannot set a static time or day when a job runs. When you schedule archives and validation, the entire job with all sub jobs has to complete within your day time window to be considered compliant. The next jobs starts earlier than it did previously so that it can complete before the compliance requirements causing jobs to run earlier and earlier in your scheduling window. Unless you have a window that is every day of every week you will eventually fall out of compliance for jobs here and there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We absolutely appreciate HYCU for several key reasons. Firstly, its dashboard is incredibly easy to use, which significantly enhances my workflow by providing a clear, accessible interface to manage backups across multiple Nutanix Clusters. The ease with which HYCU can be set up and made operational is another standout feature, saving valuable time and reducing the complexity typically associated with similar solutions. I find it particularly beneficial that HYCU supports the recovery of backup failures automatically, without the need for human intervention, thus providing a seamless, reliable backup solution. Additionally, I love the simplicity of HYCU, which facilitates quick learning and onboarding for new users, making it a preferred choice over other more complex solutions. On top of these, the excellent support provided by HYCU reinforces my confidence in the product, assuring me that help is readily available whenever needed. This combination of features and service makes HYCU an indispensable tool for managing disaster recovery solutions effectively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We would like to see the 3-2-1 backup rule implemented in HYCU. Currently, I am limited to performing a single copy of a backup within a backup policy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how HYCU acts as a single product that backs up our entire SaaS portfolio, making it much easier to manage all backups in a single pane of glass. It's incredibly valuable for giving us control over our data in the event of a SaaS outage. I also appreciate that it's a very comprehensive and fully featured product. The support team has been super helpful and excellent in assisting with the setup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's a very comprehensive and fully-featured product, which means it's not the most intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The software stands out for its simplicity and its seamless native integration with the Nutanix platform we use, which is excellent. Setting it up is quick and straightforward, and upgrading is incredibly easy—something they've improved even further in the latest version.

What I appreciate most, though, is that it genuinely feels like Hycu is committed to improving their software. Their customer service is responsive, and we've found it easy to resolve the few issues we've encountered.

We are using both the On-prem version to backup our virtual servers and also the Microsoft 365 version to safeguard and backup our M365 environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It seems that fewer individuals and organizations use Hycu compared to products like Veeam or Commvault, which means there is less user-generated information available online. As a result, you mostly have to depend on Hycu's own resources and Wikipedia for information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Hycu team is responsive and professional making our engagement with them smooth and efficient. The setup process for HYCU was incredibly easy and quick, allowing us to have it up and running within minutes. I appreciate its seamless and low-touch backup system, which simplifies our data management. The recoverability feature is straightforward and intuitive, ensuring that restoring data or searching for specific records is hassle-free. HYCU plays a crucial role in maintaining our business continuity by enabling us to efficiently recover information from our M365 services, which are vital for our operations. It is cost-effective, easy to implement, and can be deployed sovereignly, which fits well with the environment and needs of our company and clients. I would score it a ten out of ten for recommending it to others. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is easy to learn and administer. It works as promised. I use it in a Nutanix environment, and it has been the best backup software. Ease of use is a no brainer anyone can learn it. It has all the features most for free where we have to pay for other vendors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
