It is also scalable and easy to set up.""They're moving a lot of their workload to cloud and aiming for a seamlessly integrated product.""Site Recovery's most valuable features include its user-friendly console and the ease of migration.""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 allows my company to save around 30 percent of the time on every VM that we need to back up and restore.""What I love about Azure Site Recovery is its simplicity for basic configurations.""Our primary use case is for disaster recovery and business continuity and disaster recovery (BCDR)."

Cons
"Site Recovery's scalability could be improved.""One area for improvement with Azure is helping customers predict usage more accurately.""I would like to see more security features.""The primary area for improvement in Azure Site Recovery is its pricing.""The tool should improve synchronization.""Azure Site Recovery's deployment is complex. There are a lot of bugs, and it needs to improve stability.""It is for site-to-site replication. When something goes wrong on your site, you only get 15 minutes before it also goes wrong on your replicated site. There should be some way to be able to say that we want to restore it, but we want to restore it to the version from yesterday. It should support versioning. I would also like to see real-time scanning for advanced threat protection, more straightforward billing, and quicker turnaround on the tech support.""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."

More Azure Site Recovery Cons →

"It's a global feature that the customer thinks they don't have enough tools to manage, to copy, to delay, and to classify the object file in the backup directory. So they need more tools to manage files in object directory.""The GUI could be slightly improved.""The solution has the option to take backup on-prem servers, but it's not very efficient.""The UI is a little dated and hard to use. Some of the buttons are a bit small. You have to go into the menu to get the settings you want.""The GUI has room for improvement.""More documentation would be helpful, especially some step-by-step documents for recovery scenarios.""Additional features I would like to see are the ability to restore to different vendors, AWS and Azure, and/or the ability or take the information out of the AWS cloud.""There is room for improvement in stability."

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."
  • More Azure Site Recovery Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The purchasing process through the AWS Marketplace is easy. Just click the button."
  • "The pricing and licensing on AWS is fine, because you can do it for smaller tiers depending on your number of instances, so it's not that scary."
  • "AWS adds more features and offer things for free, or cheaply. Therefore, we will be evaluating AWS Data Lifecycle Manager, because it will probably do backups. Thus, make sure the product that you are using is competitive or adds more value than AWS."
  • "It's very economical and worth the cost."
  • "It has very good pricing per instance and comes with three options, for both small and large environments, to fit your needs."
  • "The price is not cheap, nor is it costly."
