Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable feature is the visibility of what is happening with our business as well as the good reporting and dashboards.""What I love about Azure Site Recovery is its simplicity for basic configurations.""Site Recovery's most valuable features include its user-friendly console and the ease of migration.""It is a very stable product and very scalable.""Azure Site Recovery helps to save costs.""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.""They're moving a lot of their workload to cloud and aiming for a seamlessly integrated product.""Provides generally good performance, from protection to production to failover to data recovery."

"The solution's stability is excellent.""It's a complete software that can protect all the main applications. Perhaps that's the feature I like most. The integration with the NetApp and other apps is also very nice.""It is a scalable solution.""What is most valuable to me are the search features, where you can search through large backup data sets and find what you're looking for. Our data sets are so big that we're over the petabyte mark. To find a specific file for a specific user out of 10,000 users is a challenge... If we can glean from them a general description of where it might be, the search feature comes in very handy to actually locate it and restore it for them.""Backup and archive with a single window, with a single backup job. You only need to type "c".""The rate of duplication is great.""It helped us reduce the number of servers that are required for a stable operation.""We now have the capability to recover a virtual machine without relying on the NFS system, but instead are able to use certain features provided by Commvault."

Cons
"The product's performance is an area of concern where improvements are required.""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.""The pricing predictability and clarity around the final cost of the plan of this solution could be improved.""One area for improvement with Azure is helping customers predict usage more accurately.""Azure Site Recovery's deployment is complex. There are a lot of bugs, and it needs to improve stability.""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.""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 primary area for improvement in Azure Site Recovery is its pricing."

More Azure Site Recovery Cons →

"Sometimes, we have a performance issue with the backup speed. So, that has to be rectified and improved.""The product's migration process and stability need improvement.""There is room for improvement in its user interface and web console, called Command Center. They are improving it every year so if they continue in that direction, I think it will be a very reliable console.""I think the one thing that could be improved is the customer experience. The interface should be more user friendly.""There is room for improvement in terms of data security.""The reporting could be improved because the reports we get from our partner aren't sufficient. It isn't very detailed. I'm not sure if it's an issue with our partner or Metallic. They do a full backup on Monday and incremental backups throughout the week. However, we don't get detailed reports about the size of the incremental backups. The report just tells us whether a backup was successful.""If I were to ask them to work on something, it would be the fidelity of the alerts that occur. They should tell me if it is a real event or not. It is easy for it to identify that something hit it but give me more information. They can build AI into the engine so that I get better output from an alert to tell me if I should really be interested in that or not.""The product is expensive."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "It should have more straightforward billing. The billing was what got funky. It was really cheap. We would pay based on the usage. We paid around $225 a month for site-to-site replication."
  • "I'm not sure about the Azure Site Recovery pricing, but my organization gets monthly bills from providers."
  • "The tool's licensing is yearly and not expensive."
  • "Azure Site Recovery is neither very expensive nor very cheap."
  • "They have a license to pay."
  • "Azure Site Recovery is affordable."
  • "Azure Site Recovery is a very reasonably priced product."
  • "The tool is expensive. What is expensive to me might not be expensive to you. As I mentioned, we seek ways to reduce our costs. If the price goes down, that would be great. I rate the tool's pricing a six out of ten."
  • More Azure Site Recovery Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "If budget allows using the per socket license and not the agent based with per GB counter for Dedup is the way to go."
  • "There is now a subscription based licence option that, depending on your environment, could offer a more efficient method to licence the solution if you are OPEX cost driven rather than CAPEX."
  • "New licensing is easy and affordable."
  • "Licensing could be better explained. Sometimes, it's unclear what features are available in different licensing models."
  • "Compared to other competitors and vendors the pricing is fair."
  • "In my experience, compared to solutions like Veritas and Veeam, while they do have their technical pluses and minuses, Commvault can save you on average forty percent initially, and then twenty to twenty-five percent annually."
  • "The price could perhaps be lower as well."
  • "Our cost is around $20,000 per month. The previous year, it was around $30,000 per month. It now costs less because Commvault changed the licensing type for providers."
