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."Our primary use case is for disaster recovery and business continuity and disaster recovery (BCDR)."
"Azure Site Recovery is an easy-to-use and fairly stable solution for disaster recovery."
"The solution is secure, reliable, and scalable."
"The documentation is good, and it can be integrated with other products."
"The most valuable feature is the visibility of what is happening with our business as well as the good reporting and dashboards."
"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."
"Azure Site Recovery allows my company to save around 30 percent of the time on every VM that we need to back up and restore."
"Provides generally good performance, from protection to production to failover to data recovery."
"The most valuable feature is the automation, where you press a button and everything fails over seamlessly."
"VMware is one of the best products in the industry when it comes to virtualization."

"If you want to do failover, it works without any problem."
"In the newest version of Azure Site Recovery, the configuration was a little more complex, so this is an area for improvement."
"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."

"Site Recovery's scalability could be improved."
"Technical support needs improvement, they are not very responsive."
"The solution must provide better integration with third-party vendors."
"VMware SRM's platform agnostics should support on-cloud usage as well."
"SRM may hit some OS issues related to IP changes, but they are usually OS related, especially in the 2008 realm."
"The version we are currently using is not the latest and greatest but it has buggy behavior in some browsers."
"The solution could improve by removing some of the limitations we have been facing. There could be better integrated."
"VMware SRM needs to improve its pricing."
