"Automated recovery is one good feature, SRM also offers simplified management. It has a centralized interface for configuring, testing, and executing disaster recovery plans across multiple sites. This means management from a single point, even for many sites."

Oftentimes, it is just the experience level of the team, and we have to bring in the vendor to help and validate our configuration."
"The solution could improve by removing some of the limitations we have been facing. There could be better integrated."
"I would like to see better integration with other storage solutions. I would hope to see that within the next two or three years."
"We would like the patching management function of this product to be improved."
"The solution must provide better integration with third-party vendors."
"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."
"We have had an issue when some customers have traditional designs and sites. For example, on one another site, they are using hyper-converged, using VMware, or Nutanix. We have a problem with the synchronization between the storage for site to site. This is the main issue. We are adding some other tools to support the synchronization to allow the movement of the workload from site to site easily."
"SRM may hit some OS issues related to IP changes, but they are usually OS related, especially in the 2008 realm."
