It is stable, and it always works. It is also scalable and easy to set up.""What I love about Azure Site Recovery is its simplicity for basic configurations."

We haven't experienced crashes.""The installation is straightforward if the version you have is compatible with your infrastructure.""RecoverPoint replicates workloads fast.""The most valuable feature is that it is journal-based and you don't have to replicate a lot of data.""Point-in-time recovery and ease of deployment are valuable.""Continuous replication with lower RTO and RPO is the most innovative feature.

Cons
"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.""Site Recovery's scalability could be improved.""We need to be able to move the virtual servers and not build and then port them across. They need to improve the hypervisor.""One area for improvement with Azure is helping customers predict usage more accurately.""The immutable backup could be better.""The product's performance is an area of concern where improvements are required.""The solution needs to improve replication and failover processes. We are still looking for improvements in the cost baseline.""The tool should improve synchronization."

More Azure Site Recovery Cons →

"I would like to have the HTML 5 interface working because it is currently not functioning with the VMware environment.""It can have better integration. It would be good if, in addition to VMware VM, it can also support other hypervisors. I also want to see support for Oracle databases. As of now, it supports only SQL and Exchange. It would be good to also support other databases.""It should have features for recovering a group of virtual machines and full-scale security. For recovering all the VMs at once, they don't have a GUI option, and we have to use the command line.""In the next release of this software, I would like to see options that help to decrease the bandwidth required, such as compressing the data.""The solution is not easy to use. It's actually quite hard. If it could be simplified it might be better for the end user.""It would be good to have a critical application on the customer side.""The configuration process seems a bit challenging, and the installation takes a bit longer than expected.""I would like to see integration with EMC NetWorker in the next release."

  • "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 →

  • "This is not a very cheap solution and compared to others, it is expensive."
  • "This is an expensive product."
  • "Pricing-wise, it is pretty much fair for any customer who only has a VMware environment. Licensing is based on the number of VMs that you want to protect at any given point in time. Licensing is not based on size."
  • "There is a license required for this solution and the pricing depends on how many virtual machines you have."
  • "It was a part of a backup solution. So, it was free for us."
