Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The backup retention was pretty good. Being able to archive users who had been backed up, is a good functionality. Even if they've been deactivated it'll keep the backups and keep them protected."

"Azure Site Recovery's automated file synchronization was a game-changer in managing legacy systems.""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.""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.""The solution is secure, reliable, and scalable.""Our primary use case is for disaster recovery and business continuity and disaster recovery (BCDR).""Provides generally good performance, from protection to production to failover to data 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."

Cons
"StorageCraft wasn't getting full backup coverage. It was backing up around one to 2% of the points. It was not a reliable platform and it wasn't giving any sort of alerts that things were not working."

More Arcserve Cloud Services 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.""The primary area for improvement in Azure Site Recovery is its pricing.""Azure Site Recovery's deployment is complex. There are a lot of bugs, and it needs to improve stability.""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.""The immutable backup could be better.""The product's performance is an area of concern where improvements are required.""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.""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."
