Pros
"Azure Site Recovery is an easy-to-use and fairly stable solution for disaster recovery.""The most valuable feature is the visibility of what is happening with our business as well as the good reporting and dashboards.""We use the solution across hospitality and healthcare domains. We use it for custom development. It helps us develop a seamless omnichannel for the healthcare industry.""Azure Site Recovery's automated file synchronization was a game-changer in managing legacy systems.""Our primary use case is for disaster recovery and business continuity and disaster recovery (BCDR).""They're moving a lot of their workload to cloud and aiming for a seamlessly integrated product.""Azure Site Recovery helps to save costs.""It is a very stable product and very scalable."

"The solution is quite stable. We haven't experienced any kind of bug or glitch. We haven't experienced crashes.""The installation is straightforward if the version you have is compatible with your infrastructure.""The workload can be moved directly if the disaster site is the main site.""The most valuable features are the data center recovery administration and the time of recovery.""It is a point-in-time restore, which is quite handy.""Continuous replication with lower RTO and RPO is the most innovative feature.

Cons
"One area for improvement with Azure is helping customers predict usage more accurately.""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.""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.""Could have more integration with other platforms.""We need to be able to move the virtual servers and not build and then port them across. They need to improve the hypervisor.""When it runs, it runs well but when it doesn't run, the solution needs to make it clearer as to why and what the troubleshooting process is. All this would be possible if the error logging was streamlined a bit."

More Azure Site Recovery Cons →

"I would like to have the HTML 5 interface working because it is currently not functioning with the VMware environment.""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.""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.""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.""The solution could improve by being more easier to use. However, once you have used it for a while it becomes easier. Additionally, there could be better support and compatibility with management by having a command-line interface. This would be beneficial for the customers.""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.""It would be good to have a critical application on the customer side.""The configuration process seems a bit challenging, and the installation takes a bit longer than expected."

  • "This is not a very cheap solution and compared to others, it is expensive."
  • "This is an expensive product."

  • "It was a part of a backup solution. So, it was free for us."
