Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Our primary use case is for disaster recovery and business continuity and disaster recovery (BCDR).""What I like best about Azure Site Recovery is that it's easier to use because my organization already has Azure as an Active Directory solution.""They're moving a lot of their workload to cloud and aiming for a seamlessly integrated product.""The solution is very easy to use.""The documentation is good, and it can be integrated with other products.""Provides generally good performance, from protection to production to failover to data recovery.""What I love about Azure Site Recovery is its simplicity for basic configurations.""We use the tool for business continuity purposes."

More Azure Site Recovery Pros →

"The backup for physical machines and replication for the virtual environment are the most valuable aspects.""We have found all the features of Nakivo to be useful and the solution is easier to use compared to Proxmox. It is user-friendly, we are very satisfied.""It has saved us numerous times from power outages and server failure.""The simplicity of installation and the intuitive user interface have made it easy for our team to quickly set up and manage the backups without requiring extensive training.""The solution has a user-friendly interface and is easy to configure.""The most important feature besides the easy management of the different backup jobs is the automated e-mail notification functionality.""Perfect for someone who doesn't want to waste time.""NAKIVO is easy to use and pretty easy to set up."

Cons
"The tool should improve synchronization.""It is for site-to-site replication. When something goes wrong on your site, you only get 15 minutes before it also goes wrong on your replicated site. There should be some way to be able to say that we want to restore it, but we want to restore it to the version from yesterday. It should support versioning. I would also like to see real-time scanning for advanced threat protection, more straightforward billing, and quicker turnaround on the tech support.""The support team took a lot of time to respond and was not very professional.""It would be good if we could replicate the solution to multiple locations simultaneously because we are currently allowed to replicate to just a single location.""The pricing predictability and clarity around the final cost of the plan of this solution could be improved.""I conveyed the feedback to the agent, suggesting an increase in the agent count in our VNS in the USA. I also addressed notification concerns, as some issues didn't trigger alerts during a recent call.""When it runs, it runs well but when it doesn't run, the solution needs to make it clearer as to why and what the troubleshooting process is. All this would be possible if the error logging was streamlined a bit.""Site Recovery's scalability could be improved."

More Azure Site Recovery Cons →

"An improvement would be to give us more control over the email alerts, with different emails going to different addresses based on a set of rules.""We are satisfied with Nakivo, but if anything could be improved, I think it would be more real-time as opposed to email support availability.""Log and report creation can be improved.""While Nakivo delivers comprehensive solutions, there's room for enhancement, particularly regarding Proxmox support.""I had to manually install SNMP, which wasn't hard, but a step I had to take, to plug this into the monitoring system.""The product needs to improve backup speed and replication speed.""The interface might be improved, but the interface of every product might be improved.""What must be improved is the response time to technical support requests."
