"Outstanding Certification for Mastering Data Protection and Hybrid Cloud"
What do you like best about HYCU?

Completing the HYCU Admin Certification has been an excellent experience that significantly enhanced my understanding of modern data protection and hybrid-cloud backup strategies.

The course materials were clear and informative, covering everything from initial deployment and configuration to advanced monitoring, automation, and troubleshooting. I especially appreciated the hands-on labs, which allowed me to gain confidence working with the HYCU platform in realistic scenarios.

Earning this certification not only strengthened my technical skills but also deepened my ability to design efficient, reliable, and scalable backup solutions. It’s a valuable credential for anyone looking to expand their expertise in data protection, hybrid cloud operations, or enterprise backup management.

Overall, I highly recommend the HYCU Administrator Certification to IT professionals seeking a practical, well-delivered, and industry-relevant learning experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"HYCU Revolutionized Our Backup and Recovery Process"
What do you like best about HYCU?

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.

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.

"Seamless Nutanix AHV Integration and Effortless Management"
What do you like best about HYCU?

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.

What do you dislike about HYCU?

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.

Response from HYCU Marketing of HYCU

Thank you! We're glad to hear that you find our integration with Nutanix AHV and our support to be valuable. We appreciate your feedback on the scheduling feature and will take it into consideration for future improvements.

Feel free to reach out if you need assistance or have further feedback.

"Easy Setup and Reliable with Stellar Support"
What do you like best about HYCU?

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.

What do you dislike about HYCU?

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.

"Effortless Setup and Integration, But Limited Community Resources"
What do you like best about HYCU?

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.

What do you dislike about HYCU?

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.

Response from HYCU Marketing of HYCU

Dear Tony, thank you! We're glad to hear that HYCU is solving your backup management challenges and helping you implement best practices.

We appreciate your support and are committed to further enhancing your experience.

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.

"A refreshingly easy backup solution"
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"
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.

Response from HYCU Marketing of HYCU

We're glad to hear that you find HYCU straightforward to deploy and configure, and that it meets your needs for both on-premises workloads and SaaS applications.
