"The initial setup is pretty straightforward, it's not complex."
"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."
"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."
"Testing failover capabilities."
"Combined with RecoverPoint, it offers zero RPO and zero RTO."
"It is easy to implement for my clients."
"The product is evolving and the vendor is committed to change."
"The solution is scalable."
"VMware SRM is a very nice tool for disaster recovery for virtual environments."
"The most valuable feature is the automation, where you press a button and everything fails over seamlessly."
"The replication is a key feature."
"The solution's network setup and a lot of the control tower setup could be improved."
"Sometimes a server will get a bit behind. "
"The UI could be a little sleeker."
"I would like to see better support for creating and working with archives."
"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."
"The failback could be improved. It should be more intuitive."
"I set up a test, deleted the source, and went to fail it back, and it didn't work."
"I have not seen any areas that need improvement at this time."
"The configuration process could be improved."
"VMware SRM needs to improve its pricing."
"In my view, if VMware comes up with an appliance-based solution like vCenter Server (which was also Windows-based), it will be much easier for deployment. I"
"The solution could improve by removing some of the limitations we have been facing. There could be better integrated."
"Lacks stability and as a result requires continuous monitoring."
"The primary site lacks adequate equipment, such as power backup and cooling, which can lead to downtime during issues like power outages or overheating."
"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."
"It would be better if we could get more reporting features in VMware SRM."
