- "I give VMware Live Recovery a rating of ten out of ten."
- "VMware Live Recovery is a very useful tool for live recovery."
- "The solution offers a rich set of features, well adapted in the market."
VMware Live Recovery requires enhancements in database integration, deployment as a virtual appliance, setup documentation, stability, speed, and storage integration. Scalability, reporting, and syncing capabilities need improvements. Automation, user interface simplicity, and integration with non-VMware systems are lacking. It faces challenges with pricing, technical support, licensing, and AI capabilities. There are issues with prioritization, resource allocation, and cross-platform integration. Bandwidth limitations and the need for more robust disaster recovery testing tools are also identified.
- "The licensing area needs improvement as the cost per virtual machine is high. If they offered discounts or minimized their prices, it would be more beneficial."
- "For cloud-based solutions, the cost seems quite pricey, so we stick to on-premises deployment."
- "The pricing structure is pretty expensive, especially after the recent changes, and it's important for the cost to be justified based on the features used in production."
