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.

Integration Architect at App In Snap (Pvt) Ltd

Has enabled seamless VM management and automated failover while support response needs improvement

For support issues, they help with the issue, but it takes a very long time. The reason is that they engage a very initial resource and then escalate to another level, and during these level escalations, our time is wasted. They do not understand the severity of the issue. They go through step-by-step and then go to the upper level. This may be their SOP, but we require instant support and instant resolution of the problem, so here VMware Live Recovery is lacking. They follow their SOP, but they initially engage very low-level personnel who are not able to answer or resolve the issue, so they escalate or take a very long time to resolve the issue. The main issue is to improve the approach of resolving solutions. I may not be able to suggest new features because in these recent months, I have not been very close to it as we are exploring different solutions.

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 are the backup and disaster recovery services."

"The solution is consistent."

"The most valuable feature is the integration with our Nutanix environment."

"The UI is very user-friendly and testing is easy, it doesn't require a lot of resources or a SAN team to enable testing, a single person can do it and get results."

"VMware SRM is very effective between two sites with identical twin storage, you can have synchronization between the two sites."

"I like how VMware SRM is able to automate and orchestrate disaster recovery."

"VMware's tech support gets a nine-out-of-ten. They are responsive and get you a useful reply."

"Combined with RecoverPoint, it offers zero RPO and zero RTO."

More VMware Live Recovery pros

Cons

"This is a good service, however a costly one."

"One thing which is lacking from the SRM is reporting."

"The version we are currently using is not the latest and greatest but it has buggy behavior in some browsers."

"However SRM is very pricy."

"Sometimes it can cause a bit of downtime during switchovers."

"I would like to see the database come built-in to the product."

"We've had configuration issues on occasion. We start to fail over, and then we have to call it off because the configuration is not right, or the data stores aren't configured correctly in the secondary data center."

"Smaller sites or sites with mixed storage platforms rely on vSphere replication for DR purposes so additional scalability in this tool would benefit from this."

"An improvement for SRM would be better interface compatibility with other products."

More VMware Live Recovery cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"The licensing costs for the product are perpetual in nature. A person needs to buy the license only once there is a need to buy support on a yearly basis. The licensing cost for VMware SRM is expensive."

"It is an expensive platform. I rate the pricing an eight out of ten."

"The level of licensing required for this solution is dependent on the server instances in use."

"We pay a yearly licensing fee for VMware SRM, which is not very expensive."

"The price could be lower, in general. My clients pay for an annual license."

"The cost of SRM is a little bit high, especially for smaller companies."

"I rate the tool's pricing an eight to nine out of ten."
