VMware Live Recovery Reviews Summary
Author infoRatingReview Summary
IT Infrastructure Manager at TMLI4.0We use VMware Live Recovery to create new hosts and synchronize software between our data center and co-location. The features are reliable, and though integration with other solutions could improve, we find it cost-effective without previous alternatives.
System and Cloud Deployment Engineer at Safaricom Ethiopia plc5.0I use VMware Live Recovery for disaster recovery and data replication between our two data centers. It's user-friendly within the VMware environment, though the high licensing cost is a downside. I've found it preferable to Veeam Recovery Manager for ease of use.
Solution Architect at Lenovo4.5In my 20-year career in disaster recovery, I find VMware Live Recovery valuable for its robust features and automation, reducing resource needs. However, the complex and pricey licensing needs improvement. Although we resell Nutanix and VMware, pricing changes remain challenging.
Pre Sales at eSense Software4.0I've used VMware Live Recovery for over four years in large environments due to its strong automated DR features, but it's expensive for startups, lacks AI tools, and we're exploring more cost-effective, locally deployable alternatives.
Enterprise Architect at Wipro Limited4.5As an enterprise architect, I appreciate VMware Live Recovery for its automated recovery and simplified management. It centralizes disaster recovery across sites with customizable plans but is resource-intensive, costly, and highly reliant on bandwidth.
Senior Consultant / Architect at Ernst & Young4.0I use VMware Live Recovery for disaster recovery planning, and it has significantly improved our business continuity processes with effective automatic failover and failback. However, I believe the pricing could be better. We achieved ROI over time.
Director at LIT4.5I find the most valuable feature of VMware SRM is its efficient production replication, especially within the VMware environment, offering a cost-effective alternative to others like Veeam or Commvault. However, the product could benefit from enhanced automation features.
Systems Administrator at NSSF4.5We use VMware Live Recovery primarily for disaster recovery testing, benefiting from features like "Test Failover." However, improvements are needed in the replication interface, especially concerning single sign-on, as re-entering passwords is time-consuming.
