"The CloudEndure feature is most valuable because it is user friendly and very simple."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten...Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten...I rate the solution's support a ten out of ten."
"The product is reasonably priced."
"Live Migration's best feature is that it's free."
"The replication is a key feature."
"The solution can be deployed in a couple of hours."
"Our systems fail over using SRM. So, we do a big bang DR, which is biannual, and we fail over our fairly massive Epic electronic health record (EHR) and our core applications. It takes us about 30 minutes to fail over using SRM, which is pretty good. In most hospitals that have Epic installed, Epic does the audit to make sure that we can fail over if something were to happen. Normally, sites will have a DR solution specific to the EHR, but right now, our pain point is the third-party tier-one clinical applications."
"If you want to do failover, it works without any problem."
"I would rate the ease of setting up and configuring my recovery plan in VMware SRM, a ten out of ten, with ten being the easiest."
"It is easy to implement for my clients."
"The thing I like the most about SMR is the reduced cost of management."
"The solution is strong when it comes to protection and analytics, with the latter being added later on."
"We would like to have a disaster recovery feature included in this solution."
"I do not see any improvements required for the CloudEndure."
"I think it is important to have more logs, and more details would be great because we have just logged on the client's side, but there weren't many details on the cloud."
"One drawback to using CloudEndure is that the default is to give one small, lightweight server, which is created in the cloud."
"Live Migration has some issues with target setups."
"One thing which is lacking from the SRM is reporting."
"Flexibility to choose different PITs would be nice."
"The solution could improve by removing some of the limitations we have been facing. There could be better integrated."
"I would like to see better integration with other storage solutions. I would hope to see that within the next two or three years."
"The technical support is not very good and needs to make an effort to improve."
"The solution must provide better integration with third-party vendors."
"The version we are currently using is not the latest and greatest but it has buggy behavior in some browsers."
"The solution currently has a five-minute RPO, meaning if the VM goes down we can lose up to five minutes of data which is a big deal when it relates to database replication."
