Assistant Programmer at Mahadis

Managed services with seamless integration and good reliability

Since I have to view everything on the console, the previous application solutions like IBM and Sanavi showed the RPO and RTO status directly. In AWS Disaster Recovery Service, these details are not available, making it difficult to check my replication status. I have to calculate whether my data is replicated to the Adarabad region or not. These features, if available in AWS, would be beneficial.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Actifio was very stable. Whenever they identified bugs, they would promptly provide us with patches."

"They will assist me in achieving whatever budget issue the client may be having."

"Very user-friendly and the QSA is very good."

"This product has unique capabilities that lead the product category in test data management, cloning and recovery."

"The solution helps reduce costs."

"The strong points are the stability and scalability of the solution, as well as the convenience of it being cloud-based."

"The solution is dependent on the network bandwidth. For example, if they have a bandwidth of 10Mbps the solution will run a little heavier. If the bandwidth is good the solution runs well."

"It offers seamless integration with services like ACL, EKS, and Fargate for deploying containerized applications."

"For regular backup and restore solutions, this product is fine."

"AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery is a robust and reliable solution for disaster recovery needs."

"Since it is a managed service, I reduce my time to manage infrastructure and applications."

"I appreciate the automated orchestration of recovery processes in this solution, especially integration with Route 53 and automatically using Route 53 to switch to a different region directly."

"Customer service is quite helpful."

Cons

"The initial setup is complex."

"Lacks the option to price backup costs within the solution itself."

"The solution doesn't support AIX software or in-cloud, and we have a lot of servers running on AIX and Oracle."

"Google has stopped supporting the on-premise version of the tool."

"Areas that need improvement would be the support for recovery in the physical environment."

"While the product does support various databases, the company needs to make more of an effort to support N-minus-one compatibility."

"The bandwidth is a constant upload communication to the AWS DR environment, so if you do not have the proper bandwidth, it will definitely eat up your internet line."

"The UI could be a little sleeker."

"In its current state, ECL integrates with CloudWatch for basic logging and monitoring, yet improvements could include more detailed logs for specific actions, like when I perform actions such as push or pull."

"Definitely there should be better logging. From a customer perspective I would like to see more logs on what is happening. If there is an issue, I would like to know what the problem is. Right now, we have to depend on the support of the vendor to check and let us know, because we don't have access to a lot of logging information."

"The user interface, customer support, and the recovery time for the current customer query could use improvement."

"Since I have to view everything on the console, the previous application solutions like IBM and Sanavi showed the RPO and RTO status directly. In AWS Disaster Recovery Service, these details are not available, making it difficult to check my replication status."

"I set up a test, deleted the source, and went to fail it back, and it didn't work."

"The failback could be improved. It should be more intuitive."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Actifio is cheaper than other tools."

"Support is very good. They send out a VM link and help you fix any issues."

"Pricing is on a case by case basis."

"I rate the price of CloudEndure Disaster Recovery a six out of ten."

"I feel the product's pricing is a good value. Licensing is pretty straightforward."

"CloudEndure Disaster Recovery is charging clients $20 to do the DR backups. It is an expensive solution."

"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten."

"We were happy with the pricing that they gave us."

"It has saved us money from having to buy hardware for disaster recovery."

"The pricing is better now that they had come out with the Tier 2 which replicates a little less often. In comparison to what I would have been spending with any other type of solution, the pricing is fair."

"They license us on a per machine basis. We have a set number of machines, which we have licensed."
