Cons
"Could have more integration with other platforms.""The support team took a lot of time to respond and was not very professional.""In the newest version of Azure Site Recovery, the configuration was a little more complex, so this is an area for improvement.""We need to be able to move the virtual servers and not build and then port them across. They need to improve the hypervisor.""The immutable backup could be better.""Azure Site Recovery's deployment is complex. There are a lot of bugs, and it needs to improve stability.""One area for improvement with Azure is helping customers predict usage more accurately.""I conveyed the feedback to the agent, suggesting an increase in the agent count in our VNS in the USA. I also addressed notification concerns, as some issues didn't trigger alerts during a recent call."

"Stability.""The scalability of the solution is limited.""The cloud backup and VMware support (now available in the latest releases), could do with some improvement.""If you look into the performance of a virtual machine and you look to the performance of the physical machine, the correlation between these is totally unclear.""Availability of physical server backup would be an added advantage.""The application could include a feature to install a set size of data, such as the ability to store a single application with all its registry information for easy transfer.""Basically, how it works is that you have a single local drive, and then you have a cloud backup. It'd be nice if you could rotate the single local backup drive. As of now, you can't.""It would be nice to be able to recover the items to their original location."
