We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""The documentation is good, and it can be integrated with other products.""The solution is secure, reliable, and scalable.""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.""Our primary use case is for disaster recovery and business continuity and disaster recovery (BCDR).""Site Recovery's most valuable features include its user-friendly console and the ease of migration.""The solution is very easy to use.""What I love about Azure Site Recovery is its simplicity for basic configurations."

More Azure Site Recovery Pros →

"The most valuable feature is that it is journal-based and you don't have to replicate a lot of data.""The most valuable features are the data center recovery administration and the time of recovery.""The installation is straightforward if the version you have is compatible with your infrastructure.""RecoverPoint replicates workloads fast.""Point-in-time recovery and ease of deployment are valuable.""It is a point-in-time restore, which is quite handy.""The workload can be moved directly if the disaster site is the main site.""Continuous replication with lower RTO and RPO is the most innovative feature. Its tight integration with VMware for VMware VMs is also valuable."

Cons
"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.""The solution needs to improve replication and failover processes. We are still looking for improvements in the cost baseline.""The primary area for improvement in Azure Site Recovery is its pricing.""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.""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 support team took a lot of time to respond and was not very professional.""It could include more of a backup and recovery.""I would like to see more security features."

More Azure Site Recovery Cons →

"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.""I would like to have the HTML 5 interface working because it is currently not functioning with the VMware environment.""The configuration process seems a bit challenging, and the installation takes a bit longer than expected.""It would be good to have a critical application on the customer side.""I would like to see integration with EMC NetWorker in the next release.""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."

  • "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."

  • "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."
