"The product license and support delivery have been great!"
"The solution is stable; there is no need to retry any sort of jobs in daily operations."
"The solution runs well in the background, just in case we need it."
"The most valuable feature is the automation, where you press a button and everything fails over seamlessly."
"The most valuable feature is the simplicity of operations."
"It is a very stable solution...I was involved in VMware SRM's deployment phase two years ago, and it was an easy process."
"VMware SRM replicates the VM from one site to another, and it helps us orchestrate the powering of VMs and DR when the DC goes down."
"The UI is very user-friendly and testing is easy."
"SRM's best feature is automation."
"I like how VMware SRM is able to automate and orchestrate disaster recovery."
"The upgrade process is a bit dated and could use some changes."
"I need no more valuable features for backs-up. I have not yet tried the latest release, however, I have all the features that I need."
"There could be better integration with other solutions, such as Amazon S3."
"An improvement would be to give us more control over the email alerts, with different emails going to different addresses based on a set of rules."
"Using an independent bootable media to restore full physical machines would enable physical machines that may be serving as Nakivo Director or Transport machines to be reliably restored to service without undue delay, ensuring that an enterprise's local environment remains intact."
"It would be good to have some Oracle database backup capability from the Linux OS in the next release."
"There is a familiar error that pops up and that is a VM error as much as it is a Nakivo error. It says that the job couldn't calm the VM and restores might be impacted. That error is, to say the least, a bit scary. I have seen this type of error on other backup systems also."
"What must be improved is the response time to technical support requests."
"VMware SRM needs to improve its pricing."

"The solution must provide better integration with third-party vendors."
"The user experience could be more friendly."
"This product is not appropriate for those moving to a broader cloud footprint."
"The solution currently has a five-minute RPO, meaning if the VM goes down we can lose up to five minutes of data which is a big deal when it relates to database replication."
