Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It is a very stable product and very scalable.""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.""The most valuable feature is the visibility of what is happening with our business as well as the good reporting and dashboards.""Site Recovery's most valuable features include its user-friendly console and the ease of migration.""What I like best about Azure Site Recovery is that it's easier to use because my organization already has Azure as an Active Directory solution.""Azure Site Recovery is an easy-to-use and fairly stable solution for disaster recovery.""They're moving a lot of their workload to cloud and aiming for a seamlessly integrated product.""The documentation is good, and it can be integrated with other products."

"Commvault can actually come in and assist you with aspects of the implementation - and they are quite helpful.""IntelliSnap for snapshot collection is one of the most efficient and easiest ways to back up large amounts of data.""It's a complete software that can protect all the main applications. Perhaps that's the feature I like most. The integration with the NetApp and other apps is also very nice.""We can go from one page to another page, from office backups to VM backups, or applications like secret backups. So everything can be configured or restored from a single pin.""Great archive feature, OnePass, for the file system and Exchange servers.""The most valuable features are the ease of use, the graphical interface, and it's high speed.""With the use of the cloud, the solution is easy to learn.""Metallic is user-friendly, cost-effective, and the technical support is impressive."

Cons
"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.""It would be good if we could replicate the solution to multiple locations simultaneously because we are currently allowed to replicate to just a single location.""The product's performance is an area of concern where improvements are required.""Azure Site Recovery's deployment is complex. There are a lot of bugs, and it needs to improve stability.""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.""I would like to see more security features.""The immutable backup could be better."

More Azure Site Recovery Cons →

"The initial setup is rather complex, especially when switching versions.""Persistent binding is a feature that I would like to see in the next release of Commvault.""When we started using Commvault, we felt that there were some technical issues with managing it, but we are comfortable enough with managing it now. There were many issues, like index corrupting, when we first started, but all those issues were resolved by the Commvault tech team.""The integration of Metallic could improve. It would be a benefit if Metallic could integrate with multiple applications or platforms.""My customers are not satisfied with the tool because there is a little trouble with the throughput of Metallic.""Just to keep it running is time-consuming. There are five people on my team. Commvault was supposed to be one of the less time-consuming solutions, but in reality it takes 60 percent of our time just to keep it running, and that's not even fine-tuning it; that's just to keep it running.""There are two ways to use it and I prefer the web-based one over the app. I wish they were a little bit more matched in what they offer because the features aren't as available in the web-based interface as they are in the app.""The tool must improve the 1-Touch recovery of Oracle and Active Directory."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "It should have more straightforward billing. The billing was what got funky. It was really cheap. We would pay based on the usage. We paid around $225 a month for site-to-site replication."
  • "I'm not sure about the Azure Site Recovery pricing, but my organization gets monthly bills from providers."
  • "The tool's licensing is yearly and not expensive."
  • "Azure Site Recovery is neither very expensive nor very cheap."
  • "They have a license to pay."
  • "Azure Site Recovery is affordable."
  • "Azure Site Recovery is a very reasonably priced product."

  • "If budget allows using the per socket license and not the agent based with per GB counter for Dedup is the way to go."
  • "There is now a subscription based licence option that, depending on your environment, could offer a more efficient method to licence the solution if you are OPEX cost driven rather than CAPEX."
  • "New licensing is easy and affordable."
  • "Licensing could be better explained. Sometimes, it's unclear what features are available in different licensing models."
  • "Compared to other competitors and vendors the pricing is fair."
  • "In my experience, compared to solutions like Veritas and Veeam, while they do have their technical pluses and minuses, Commvault can save you on average forty percent initially, and then twenty to twenty-five percent annually."
  • "The price could perhaps be lower as well."
  • "Our cost is around $20,000 per month. The previous year, it was around $30,000 per month. It now costs less because Commvault changed the licensing type for providers."
