Managed services with seamless integration and good reliability

Since I have to view everything on the console, the previous application solutions like IBM and Sanavi showed the RPO and RTO status directly. In AWS Disaster Recovery Service, these details are not available, making it difficult to check my replication status. I have to calculate whether my data is replicated to the Adarabad region or not. These features, if available in AWS, would be beneficial.

Stable server migration service

The documentation and videos could be improved, especially in the area of migration. Live videos would be helpful. There are very limited videos available. Moreover, the initial setup is another area of improvement. It was really difficult for us to setup. There were some difficulties with firewalls on our side.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The initial setup is pretty straightforward, it's not complex."

"The most valuable aspect of CloudEndure Disaster Recovery is its instant block replication feature. This allows us to perform live block verification and eliminates the need to concern ourselves with recovery point objectives. This capability is particularly advantageous for critical workloads."

"The strong points are the stability and scalability of the solution, as well as the convenience of it being cloud-based."

"It offers seamless integration with services like ACL, EKS, and Fargate for deploying containerized applications."

"Technical support has been very good. They usually respond quickly to our requests."

"Since it is a managed service, I reduce my time to manage infrastructure and applications."

"It's on the cheaper side and not too expensive for users."

"What I like about ECR AWS is that it is a fully managed service, so I don't need to manage the underlying infrastructure or worry about scalability in AWS concerning building, maintenance, security, and high availability."

More AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery pros

"The solution is easy to use."

"The tool is automatic and makes migration easy."

"Mature, resilient, and seamless database and server migration solution that's stable and scalable."

"The solution's setup phase was straightforward."

Cons

"I have not seen any areas that need improvement at this time."

"Definitely there should be better logging. From a customer perspective I would like to see more logs on what is happening. If there is an issue, I would like to know what the problem is. Right now, we have to depend on the support of the vendor to check and let us know, because we don't have access to a lot of logging information."

"The solution's network setup and a lot of the control tower setup could be improved."

"Since I have to view everything on the console, the previous application solutions like IBM and Sanavi showed the RPO and RTO status directly. In AWS Disaster Recovery Service, these details are not available, making it difficult to check my replication status."

"The cost of AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery is seen as expensive."

"The product could be improved by incorporating more AI-driven automation for deployment and additional security features. These enhancements would make the solution even more user-friendly and secure."

"The UI could be a little sleeker."

"The bandwidth is a constant upload communication to the AWS DR environment, so if you do not have the proper bandwidth, it will definitely eat up your internet line."

More AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery cons

"The product's cloud security could be improved. It also needs to improve its stability."

"The database schema conversion could be made more seamless for this solution. Widening the scope of features for database migration will also help."

"There is no monitoring support available in the solution."

"The documentation and videos could be improved, especially in the area of migration. Live videos would be helpful. There are very limited videos available."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We were happy with the pricing that they gave us."

"The pricing is better now that they had come out with the Tier 2 which replicates a little less often. In comparison to what I would have been spending with any other type of solution, the pricing is fair."

"CloudEndure Disaster Recovery is charging clients $20 to do the DR backups. It is an expensive solution."

"They license us on a per machine basis. We have a set number of machines, which we have licensed."

"I rate the price of CloudEndure Disaster Recovery a six out of ten."

"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten."

"I feel the product's pricing is a good value. Licensing is pretty straightforward."

"Where the price adds up, there are CloudEndure licenses, then there is the AWS environment, and finally, there is the AWS storage, so cumulatively, it adds up."

"There is no need to pay for any licensing since it is an open-source tool."
