We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"We have never had any issues with scalability.""It provides our disaster recovery solution. It works fine in our tests.​""The initial setup is pretty straightforward, it's not complex.""The setup is pretty straightforward.""For regular backup and restore solutions, this product is fine.""CloudEndure Disaster Recovery is a fairly stable solution.""The solution is dependent on the network bandwidth. For example, if they have a bandwidth of 10Mbps the solution will run a little heavier. If the bandwidth is good the solution runs well.""It's on the cheaper side and not too expensive for users."

"It is an excellent product. It is easy to deploy, stable, and fast. Their support is excellent.""VM backup and the item level recovery are the most valuable features.""Excellent compression and deduplication with off-site WAN backup included.""Ability to restore to any host.""The ease of use of the solution is its most valuable feature. The interface is also excellent.""We frequently use the granular restore option for when our users accidentally delete files or to recover emails from mailboxes. We have found that to be a must-have feature and it comes with the solution at no extra cost.""The most valuable feature of Altaro VM Backup is its ability to backup and restore various types of data, including Active Directory, application servers, and SQL Server databases.""The initial setup was simple and easy. Anyone without prior experience can install, configure, and use it."

Cons
"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.""Sometimes a server will get a bit behind. ​""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.""I set up a test, deleted the source, and went to fail it back, and it didn't work.""I would like to see better support for creating and working with archives.""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.""I have not seen any areas that need improvement at this time."

More AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery Cons →

"Improvement areas for Altaro VM Backup include enhancing backup and deduplication solutions for continuous operation and offering an all-in-one solution for hardware backup.""Basically, how it works is that you have a single local drive, and then you have a cloud backup. It'd be nice if you could rotate the single local backup drive. As of now, you can't.""If you look into the performance of a virtual machine and you look to the performance of the physical machine, the correlation between these is totally unclear.""It would be nice to see a feature that backs up the host so that, in case of a server failure, an entire server could be restored all at once.""It would be nice to be able to recover the items to their original location.""Replication is not fast, the GUI could be more user-friendly, and technical support is lacking in Iran.""The initial set up was complex, and I was not able to do the set up myself.""The cloud backup and VMware support (now available in the latest releases), could do with some improvement."

    Overview

    AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery (AWS DRS) minimizes downtime and data loss with fast, reliable recovery of on-premises and cloud-based applications using affordable storage, minimal compute, and point-in-time recovery.

    Set up AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery on your source servers to initiate secure data replication. Your data is replicated to a staging area subnet in your AWS account, in the AWS Region you select. The staging area design reduces costs by using affordable storage and minimal compute resources to maintain ongoing replication. You can perform non-disruptive tests to confirm that implementation is complete. During normal operation, maintain readiness by monitoring replication and periodically performing non-disruptive recovery and failback drills. If you need to recover applications, you can launch recovery instances on AWS within minutes, using the most up-to-date server state or a previous point in time. After your applications are running on AWS, you can choose to keep them there, or you can initiate data replication back to your primary site when the issue is resolved. You can fail back to your primary site whenever you’re ready.

    Hornetsecurity Altaro VM Backup is a powerful, reliable and easy-to-use backup and replication solution for Microsoft Hyper-V and VMware virtual machines (VMs) and physical Windows servers, to protect against enterprise data loss. The award-winning solution provides robust, streamlined and enterprise-level functionality.

    Reduce downtime and data loss: Thanks to Continous Data Protection (CDP) and WAN-optimized replication, your backup files are available in just minutes in the event of a data loss scenario and you can continue working as usual. The solution’s unique Augmented Inline Deduplication also gives you massive savings on your backup storage and dramatically reduces costs.
