Cons
"In the newest version of Azure Site Recovery, the configuration was a little more complex, so this is an area for improvement.""Site Recovery's scalability could be improved.""Could have more integration with other platforms.""The product's performance is an area of concern where improvements are required.""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.""It could include more of a backup and recovery.""The primary area for improvement in Azure Site Recovery is its pricing.""The support team took a lot of time to respond and was not very professional."

"The automation should be simplified or improved.""When starting up the replication and converting it to the virtual machine I had some problems. I had to start the process again and that is inconvenient.""The improvements should be as per customer requirements.""It would be ideal if they added advanced analytics or AI to the solution.""VMware Cloud Disaster Recovery could improve by enhancing the network bandwidth from the storage."
