"We use the solution across hospitality and healthcare domains. We use it for custom development. It helps us develop a seamless omnichannel for the healthcare industry."
"Site Recovery's most valuable features include its user-friendly console and the ease of migration."
"The documentation is good, and it can be integrated with other products."
"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."
"Azure Site Recovery is an easy-to-use and fairly stable solution for disaster recovery."
"Provides generally good performance, from protection to production to failover to data recovery."
"Our primary use case is for disaster recovery and business continuity and disaster recovery (BCDR)."
"Instant Backup is an useful feature."
"I like all the backup features in Veeam."
"The most valuable feature is that I can back up the whole machine and then restore it relatively fast."
"One of the best things about Veeam is that they have consistently improved on themselves since they started. Personally, I've been using Veeam since around 2013/2014 when it was only supporting certain hypervisors such as HyperV, and since then it has become truly mature enterprise-level software with a lot of versatility."
"With regard to our operational requirements, Veeam is very good because it's so user-friendly."
"The solution does a good job with VM backups."
"It is a good product, in regards to performance, as well as data protection."
"The features I find most valuable are probably the VMware snapshot backups and the Veeam replication. Their replication is very good. It can easily be used for disaster recovery in a number of situations."
"The primary area for improvement in Azure Site Recovery is its pricing."
"It could include more of a backup and recovery."
"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."
"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."
"Site Recovery's scalability could be improved."
"Azure Site Recovery's deployment is complex. There are a lot of bugs, and it needs to improve stability."
"The immutable backup could be better."
"One area for improvement with Azure is helping customers predict usage more accurately."
"I would like to see more broad support for other applications such as databases, or other operating systems."
"The scalability of the product in large organizations is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"While the Veeam Backup Replication tool can mostly back up all the data in the environment, the AIX from IBM backup capabilities nowadays could stand improvement as they are not featured on a single pane of glass."
"They need a better solution for backend storage."
"It would be ideal if they could capture everything and then timestamp and back up everything up to that timestamp."
"The solution needs more detailed reporting."
"I like the Acronis backup solutions on the block-based part of backups. That is a functionality that Veeam does not provide."
"Some support replies for a broken backup task have been "rebuild the job from scratch" and this is a bad thing to do if you have many VMs and repositories."
