We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Provides generally good performance, from protection to production to failover to data recovery.""Azure Site Recovery helps to save costs.""The most useful thing is that it provides a snapshot of your environment in about 15 minutes. It is stable, and it always works. It is also scalable and easy to set up.""Azure Site Recovery allows my company to save around 30 percent of the time on every VM that we need to back up and restore.""The solution is secure, reliable, and 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 documentation is good, and it can be integrated with other products.""The solution is very easy to use."

"General ease of use and performance of the Windows version is the most valuable feature.""MSP360 Backup's most valuable feature is its backup interface.""Technical support is very good.""Client-side encryption minimizes worries about data being captured on the back-end.""I was mainly concerned with cloud backups, OneDrive backups, consumer OneDrive, business OneDrive, Google backups, and SharePoint backups. The solution did a good job of the backup.""The feature that I have found most valuable is its online backup capacity because you don't have to do an entire backup again and again, it just does whatever you type in, you type a, it goes a, you type b, it goes b. It doesn't take an entire site up again and again. So that incremental and bit by bit backup is important, it is a nice feature here.""It has allowed me to implement a cost effective, highly configurable solution.""The most valuable feature for me is that I can see what has has been successfully backed up and what not. I do not mean the file or folder view, because that's problematic with GDPR, but I mean which machines have successfully backed up. It's very valuable because you don't have to check the machines. The second feature is that you can change backup settings in the portal."

Cons
"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.""Site Recovery's scalability could be improved.""In the newest version of Azure Site Recovery, the configuration was a little more complex, so this is an area for improvement.""The support team took a lot of time to respond and was not very professional.""I would like to see more security features.""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.""The immutable backup could be better.""We need to be able to move the virtual servers and not build and then port them across. They need to improve the hypervisor."

More Azure Site Recovery Cons →

"They can add some production backup capabilities and the ability to do single instance back up. At the moment, it doesn't do deduplication on the standard backup. So, the issue is backing up PSG files for customers who have limited bandwidth. The other issue is that I don't like the implementation of the SQL backup. We do use SQL ourselves using a PowerShell script with the VDA tools as a module. That's how we back up. The rotation feature would be nice to have, but I know that they've got it on their dashboard or on their list to look at. They can also do a few tweaks to the dashboard. I would like the reporting capabilities on the portal to be much more granular. Normally, I export it to a text file, and then I run it through a pivot table in order to look at it from a cost-recovery point of view and to see when the backup last ran and if it was successful when it ran two or three days ago. Such a feature would work really well for my market. They can also add a cost-effective backup for Android and Apple cellphones. I've had one or two customers who were looking for this feature. I haven't found this functionality at the moment. I've been looking for a product that does that.""There are some things that we don't like about it. That is why I was exploring alternatives in a hyper-scale environment. That is why I was checking IT Central Station.""As for what can be improved, some reports could be simplified so that you know how much backup you have done and what your backup details are. That report is available but it is very tough to get. I would like to know "today I have just uploaded 35 MB, tomorrow I have loaded 10 MB so my trend of backup is increasing."""The Linux GUI leaves a lot to be desired. It lacks many of the features of the Windows version and is buggy, but it is still usable.""Maybe implement an easier interface for basic users. For example, a set-up wizard with all the commonly used features as default.""We could basically use just a more concise visual dashboard reporting on the status of the various machines.""The interface feels like it is targeted for end users who typically are looking for an all-in-one integrated push button solution. It would be better if the interface had a beginner mode and an expert mode.""Using the solution incurs additional charges for the device storage and backup which are not included in the service."
