Azure Site Recovery Reviews

We primarily use the solution for disaster recovery for our organization.

The solution is very easy to use.

The approach the solution takes to data recovery is very good. We can fail-over from production and the disaster recovery aspect of the solution is quite seamless. There are a few configurations that need to happen, however, once it's up it works quite well.

There have been issues with replication. 

It would be helpful if error logging was handled more effectively.

When it runs, it runs well but when it doesn't run, the solution needs to make it clearer as to why and what the troubleshooting process is. All this would be possible if the error logging was streamlined a bit.

I've only been using the solution for about six months. It's still quite new to me.

We haven't faced any crashes, bugs, or glitches. I would consider the solution to be quite stable.

The solution is easily scalable.

We're pushing about 40 servers into the cloud for disaster recovery using site recovery.

I can only vouch for the actual support we've gotten from Microsoft and that was very good. We have no complaints there; the support was very helpful when it came to handling the issue that we did have.

The initial setup is very straightforward. We didn't have any issues with any complexities.

We implemented in phases. In full, it took us about two or three months to deploy the solution. However, if a company is simply looking to do one or two servers, it's only going to take a couple of hours, or maybe a couple of days to go to the cloud. 

I'd estimate it would take about a month, for your average environment (a small to medium-sized environment) to deploy onto Site Recovery.

We're a partner as well as a customer.

We would definitely recommend the product. 

I would caution, or highlight rather, that if anyone is collecting resources they need to confirm that they're all configuring it correctly so that it doesn't generate unexpected costs because of a context that may be incorrect.

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.

We use Azure Site Recovery primarily for disaster recovery to Azure or from Azure, while Veeam is used for data center recovery.

It’s native to Azure and does exactly what it’s designed to do—recover one site to another without creating all the VMs on that site. This helps reduce costs on the secondary site.

I have been using Azure Site Recovery as a partner for two years.

There is no issues with stability.

It is suitable for large enterprises. It is scalable. These businesses have around 500 users. 

Support is wonderful.

It is easy to configure.

It is cost-effective.

The team conducted a thorough analysis before choosing Azure Site Recovery. They likely considered integration costs and various other factors.

It seems to be seamless and is working perfectly. They’re integrating it with Azure Stack Hub, which we’ve also deployed as an on-premises solution.

Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
