We performed a comparison between AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery and VMware SRM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Disaster Recovery (DR) Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We went from an organization with minimal to no disaster recovery. I was able to spin up the disaster recovery environment with AWS rather quickly and meet business requirements."
"Technical support has been very good. They usually respond quickly to our requests."
"The most valuable aspect of CloudEndure Disaster Recovery is its instant block replication feature. This allows us to perform live block verification and eliminates the need to concern ourselves with recovery point objectives. This capability is particularly advantageous for critical workloads."
"For regular backup and restore solutions, this product is fine."
"It's on the cheaper side and not too expensive for users."
"The solution is dependent on the network bandwidth. For example, if they have a bandwidth of 10Mbps the solution will run a little heavier. If the bandwidth is good the solution runs well."
"It provides our disaster recovery solution. It works fine in our tests."
"CloudEndure Disaster Recovery is a fairly stable solution."
"The solution can be deployed in a couple of hours."
"The solution is consistent."
"The product is evolving and the vendor is committed to change."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that you can independently run the disaster recovery without disturbing the production instances."
"The most valuable feature is the automation, where you press a button and everything fails over seamlessly."
"The solution is very flexible."
"I would rate the ease of setting up and configuring my recovery plan in VMware SRM, a ten out of ten, with ten being the easiest."
"The replication is a key feature."
"I set up a test, deleted the source, and went to fail it back, and it didn't work."
"The failback could be improved. It should be more intuitive."
"The solution's network setup and a lot of the control tower setup could be improved."
"The bandwidth is a constant upload communication to the AWS DR environment, so if you do not have the proper bandwidth, it will definitely eat up your internet line."
"I would like to see better support for creating and working with archives."
"I have not seen any areas that need improvement at this time."
"The user interface, customer support, and the recovery time for the current customer query could use improvement."
"Definitely there should be better logging. From a customer perspective I would like to see more logs on what is happening. If there is an issue, I would like to know what the problem is. Right now, we have to depend on the support of the vendor to check and let us know, because we don't have access to a lot of logging information."
"This product is not appropriate for those moving to a broader cloud footprint."
"The user experience could be more friendly."
"The solution must provide better integration with third-party vendors."
"The administration guides can be complicated and difficult to use, so it would be helpful if it was made easier."
"In general, the drawbacks of VMware SRM, where improvements can be made, stem from the fact that it is an expensive and complex product."
"You need a lot of knowledge to work with the interface because it is not really easy to use, and it would be great if the dashboard were simplified."
"The solution currently has a five-minute RPO, meaning if the VM goes down we can lose up to five minutes of data which is a big deal when it relates to database replication."
"The solution is on the expensive side."
