I would rate the stability of the solution as a seven out of ten. Like any software, we do encounter glitches and the need for patches and fixes from time to time, which is a normal part of maintenance. However, there is room for improvement in terms of patching processes, including reducing delays and addressing issues in applying patches. Additionally, better documentation would enhance the overall experience with the solution.
It provides a stable environment. I rate the stability a nine out of ten.

VMware SRM is a stable solution.
View full review »I would say that it's stable. I think everything depends on how you design and manage your environment. For example, when it comes to data replication on the disaster recovery side, part of the challenge that most of our clients have is the link between the production site and the APR site. Sometimes the link will be having challenges and data replication won't work for a few minutes, or something like that. But I don't really think it's an issue with the VMware solution. So, I don't really have challenges with it. If you properly take care of your environment the virtual machines will not have issues. In your scenario, maybe you didn't configure your cluster very well, or your GRS is not working properly, or some virtual machines are not giving results - then most likely you are going to have challenges.

It is a stable solution.

Not really for use and operation, but a version upgrade is a real problem. When upgrading to the latest version, there are always problems with the upgrade, normal functioning etc. Doing an upgrade is lot of hard work. Always had to rely on next minor upgrade.
VMware needs to do better software testing before release.

The stability should be smooth, and as for the capacity, we should be able to run the test successfully. However, from our research and DR test results, we came to the conclusion that we have to run the DR test during the non-production hours. Logically, they should be able to be done during the production hours, but that is not the case. We have to ensure that the vCenters are free and are not doing regular work for us not to have any issues during the DR test.
There needs to be better stability during heavy capacity in future releases.

The solution is not stable enough. If there are glitches in the process, it is not auto recovering from the issue. It is not even attempting to bring back a steady operational state. So stability is not sufficiently addressed.

This solution is not used frequently because it is only in the event of disaster recovery or testing. The recovery portion is not intended for daily use.
