Quick data restore, helpful support, and good interface
Although we have not yet utilized it for an actual disaster, one of our clients has been affected by ransomware or similar attacks. It is crucial to be able to quickly restore their infrastructure outside of their primary infrastructure, and that is exactly what we are accomplishing with this solution. Since the client we are working with is not a large enterprise, they do not have the financial resources or budget to create a secondary site for disaster recovery. Our solution enables them to be prepared without having to allocate funds for a complete data center to perform the restoration.

Application can be migrated from one host to another in respects of virtual machines without the user taking notice
The automation should be simplified or improved. Usually throughout the day, during peak periods, one or another task cannot be carried out. Moreover, if one wishes to move large data, the user's application response may be affected. So, it would be best if such tasks can be automated to allow such tasks to be undertaken not during peak periods. As a consequence, this would lessen the impact to the underlying resources. I would also like to see interoperability between various virtualization and cloud solutions. It would be nice to be able to move my VM from Windows or Hyper-V to VMware and from this to Citrix. The adding of these features would be awesome.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The initial setup is pretty straightforward, it's not complex."
"It provides our disaster recovery solution. It works fine in our tests.​"
"​The initial setup is really straightforward."
"We went from an organization with minimal to no disaster recovery. I was able to spin up the disaster recovery environment with AWS rather quickly and meet business requirements."

"CloudEndure Disaster Recovery is a fairly stable solution."
"Technical support has been very good. They usually respond quickly to our requests.​"
"We have never had any issues with scalability."
"Setting up VMs can be done quickly. It is easy to use."
"The most valuable features are the backup and disaster recovery services."
"The initial setup is easy depending on the environment you are working with."
"Technical support is very proactive and helpful."
"We feel the ability to move virtual machines while they are still running to be the most valuable feature."
 

Cons

"The UI could be a little sleeker."
"The failback could be improved. It should be more intuitive."
"The user interface, customer support, and the recovery time for the current customer query could use improvement."
"I would like to see better support for creating and working with archives."
"I have not seen any areas that need improvement at this time."
"I set up a test, deleted the source, and went to fail it back, and it didn't work."
"Sometimes a server will get a bit behind. ​"
"The only thing I would like to see is, they don't have a formal ticketing system. There is no way I can go back and see what questions we had six months back, what issues we had, and how they were resolved."
"The improvements should be as per customer requirements."
"When starting up the replication and converting it to the virtual machine I had some problems. I had to start the process again and that is inconvenient."
"It would be ideal if they added advanced analytics or AI to the solution."
"The automation should be simplified or improved."
"VMware Cloud Disaster Recovery could improve by enhancing the network bandwidth from the storage."

"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten."
"We were happy with the pricing that they gave us."
"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."
"It has saved us money from having to buy hardware for disaster recovery."
"They license us on a per machine basis. We have a set number of machines, which we have licensed.​"
"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."
"I rate the price of CloudEndure Disaster Recovery a six out of ten."
"The pricing is good."
"I would say VMware Cloud Disaster Recovery is very expensive in comparison with other available virtualization solutions."
"The price of VMware Cloud Disaster Recovery should be lowered in order to compete better in the market."
