Database Expert at a tech company with 51-200 employees
Excellent Rental Data Centres to simulate a DR (Disaster Recovery) operation .
SunGard provides DR (Disaster Recovery) services at it's data centers. The service is for companies who do not maintain their own dedicated DR sites and need to rent one to conduct a DR exercise for validating it's DR setup. These centers have state of the art equipment with all possible hardware options and one needs to define their specific requirements. Companies can rent their hardware cages at SunGard Site and have options to replicate their critical data at the DR site periodically. They can then simulate the DR exercise when desired. Additionally Tape restores are also possible at the DR site.

IT Manager at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Long-term user praises cost savings and reliability of disaster recovery solutions
There is only one thing to note: the agent has to be up-to-date when SCCM or any third-party tools are doing patching activities. If their agent version is mismatched and the health status is critical, you will not be able to perform your Azure Site Recovery. Recently, I worked with a mass issue related to Recovery Services Vault, and the VM support engineers are taking a lot of time to extend support to the customer. When you raise a call, they wait too long, and even if you request an engineer to set up a call for severity B cases, they are not ready to communicate over the phone, preferring email instead.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"These centers have state of the art equipment with all possible hardware options and one needs to define their specific requirements."
"The most valuable features of Azure Site Recovery are its ease of use and speed of recovery."
"The documentation is good, and it can be integrated with other products."
"Azure Site Recovery's automated file synchronization was a game-changer in managing legacy systems."
"Azure Site Recovery is obviously a time-saving solution, and I can write PowerShell scripts to automate failover on or off processes."
"Site Recovery's most valuable features include its user-friendly console and the ease of migration."
"It is a very stable product and very scalable."
"Azure Site Recovery helps to save costs."
"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."
 

Cons

"This is a good service, however a costly one."
"The primary area for improvement in Azure Site Recovery is its pricing."
"It is for site-to-site replication. When something goes wrong on your site, you only get 15 minutes before it also goes wrong on your replicated site. There should be some way to be able to say that we want to restore it, but we want to restore it to the version from yesterday. It should support versioning. I would also like to see real-time scanning for advanced threat protection, more straightforward billing, and quicker turnaround on the tech support."
"I would like to see more security features."
"Recently, I worked with a mass issue related to Recovery Services Vault, and the VM support engineers are taking a lot of time to extend support to the customer."
"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."
"we lack a straightforward method to automate the restart of services, which can be quite time-consuming."
"One area for improvement with Azure is helping customers predict usage more accurately."
"The pricing predictability and clarity around the final cost of the plan of this solution could be improved."

"Azure Site Recovery is a very reasonably priced product."
"I'm not sure about the Azure Site Recovery pricing, but my organization gets monthly bills from providers."
"They have a license to pay."
"The tool's licensing is yearly and not expensive."
"It should have more straightforward billing. The billing was what got funky. It was really cheap. We would pay based on the usage. We paid around $225 a month for site-to-site replication."
"The tool is expensive. What is expensive to me might not be expensive to you. As I mentioned, we seek ways to reduce our costs. If the price goes down, that would be great. I rate the tool's pricing a six out of ten."
