"The solution is very easy to use.""Our primary use case is for disaster recovery and business continuity and disaster recovery (BCDR).""They're moving a lot of their workload to cloud and aiming for a seamlessly integrated product.""We use the tool for business continuity purposes.""What I like best about Azure Site Recovery is that it's easier to use because my organization already has Azure as an Active Directory solution.""Azure Site Recovery helps to save costs.""The solution is secure, reliable, and scalable.""The most useful thing is that it provides a snapshot of your environment in about 15 minutes.

Cons
"The UI could be a little sleeker.""I set up a test, deleted the source, and went to fail it back, and it didn't work.""Definitely there should be better logging. From a customer perspective I would like to see more logs on what is happening. If there is an issue, I would like to know what the problem is. Right now, we have to depend on the support of the vendor to check and let us know, because we don't have access to a lot of logging information.""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 user interface, customer support, and the recovery time for the current customer query could use improvement.""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.""I have not seen any areas that need improvement at this time."

More AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery Cons →

"The immutable backup could be better.""The support team took a lot of time to respond and was not very professional.""I would like to see more security features.""One area for improvement with Azure is helping customers predict usage more accurately.""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.""Site Recovery's scalability could be improved.""The primary area for improvement in Azure Site Recovery is its pricing.""The product's performance is an area of concern where improvements are required."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "We were happy with the pricing that they gave us."
  • "They license us on a per machine basis. We have a set number of machines, which we have licensed.​"
  • "I feel the product's pricing is a good value. Licensing is pretty straightforward."
  • "The pricing is better now that they had come out with the Tier 2 which replicates a little less often. In comparison to what I would have been spending with any other type of solution, the pricing is fair."
  • "Where the price adds up, there are CloudEndure licenses, then there is the AWS environment, and finally, there is the AWS storage, so cumulatively, it adds up."
  • "It has saved us money from having to buy hardware for disaster recovery."
  • "CloudEndure Disaster Recovery is charging clients $20 to do the DR backups. It is an expensive solution."
  • "I rate the price of CloudEndure Disaster Recovery a six out of ten."
  • More AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery 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."
