We performed a comparison between Azure Site Recovery and VMware SRM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Disaster Recovery (DR) Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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 is an easy-to-use and fairly stable solution for disaster recovery."
"Our primary use case is for disaster recovery and business continuity and disaster recovery (BCDR)."
"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."
"Site Recovery's most valuable features include its user-friendly console and the ease of migration."
"The solution is very easy to use."
"The documentation is good, and it can be integrated with other products."
"The solution is secure, reliable, and scalable."
"The solution is strong when it comes to protection and analytics, with the latter being added later on."
"I like how VMware SRM is able to automate and orchestrate disaster recovery."
"VMware's tech support gets a nine-out-of-ten. They are responsive and get you a useful reply."
"The replication is the solution's most valuable feature. If we have some issues on the VM in the main site we can migrate it to another site automatically."
"My impression is that the initial setup process is relatively straightforward."
"The installation and initial setup are straightforward."
"The solution is very flexible."
"The most valuable feature is the integration with our Nutanix environment."
"The support team took a lot of time to respond and was not very professional."
"I would like to see more security features."
"Site Recovery's scalability could be improved."
"The immutable backup could be better."
"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."
"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 pricing predictability and clarity around the final cost of the plan of this solution could be improved."
"The tool should improve synchronization."
"The back sites sometimes are very, very complicated."
"You cannot use VMware SRM in conjunction with storage replication software."
"Sometimes it can cause a bit of downtime during switchovers."
"They could enhance the automation features for the product."
"Cost is definitely an area where the product could be improved."
"Currently, there is a limitation of consolidating only 15 sites per SRM."
"The two vCenters have to be synchronized, which sometimes gives us problems because Keberos does not tolerate more than five minutes in time difference."
"The solution could improve by removing some of the limitations we have been facing. There could be better integrated."
