We performed a comparison between Veritas System 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."Offers good recovery quickly."
"You can back up the whole image."
"The solution captures the system state, so when we restore the system, it will be restored to the state it was in at the time of the backup."
"The installation was straightforward."
"The solution has helped reduce my company's cost by around 50 to 60 percent."
"It has a user-friendly interface."
"With Veritas System Recovery, we have the option to run an infinite number of full backups according to our requirements."
"The tool helps automate system recovery. The solution is most useful in scenarios involving restoration to a different environment. For instance, when migrating from a physical server to a virtual one, the tool facilitates conversion."
"It has a good and effective user interface."
"The UI is very user-friendly and testing is easy."
"If you want to do failover, it works without any problem."
"The stability of SRM has been excellent. It gets a nine-out-of-ten."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the automatic recovery of the virtual machine if it goes down."
"The solution helps to improve business continuity processes. Its automatic failover and failback policies have been wonderful."
"Our systems fail over using SRM. So, we do a big bang DR, which is biannual, and we fail over our fairly massive Epic electronic health record (EHR) and our core applications. It takes us about 30 minutes to fail over using SRM, which is pretty good. In most hospitals that have Epic installed, Epic does the audit to make sure that we can fail over if something were to happen. Normally, sites will have a DR solution specific to the EHR, but right now, our pain point is the third-party tier-one clinical applications."
"In terms of recovery, if you have a test job script, you can put it on top of it. You can create custom steps so that it will be more granular. It will be an easy, one click solution when it comes to the recovery application."
"It needs an easier interface."
"Lacks the ability to protect the database snapshot."
"The pricing could be cheaper."
"Veritas System Recovery Manager offers some manager solutions, but there is room for improvement."
"The tool's deployment could be easier. The deployment itself isn't the issue; rather, the problem lies in configuring policies and testing everything before it's ready. We invest a significant amount of time in preparing for various scenarios. However, we often encounter situations where changes have occurred since our initial preparations. This can render the automation less valuable."
"Veritas System Recovery’s pricing and local support need some improvement."
"The reliability is sometimes lacking."
"We faced issues with recovery and restoration."
"In my opinion, the integration with Peer Persistent Storage could be improved."
"Cost is definitely an area where the product could be improved."
"The user experience could be more friendly."
"The two vCenters have to be synchronized, which sometimes gives us problems because Keberos does not tolerate more than five minutes in time difference."
"An improvement for SRM would be better interface compatibility with other products."
"They could enhance the automation features for the product."
"VMware SRM's platform agnostics should support on-cloud usage as well."
"The solution is on the expensive side."
