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

"It provides our disaster recovery solution. It works fine in our tests."

"AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery is a robust and reliable solution for disaster recovery needs."

"We went from an organization with minimal to no disaster recovery. I was able to spin up the disaster recovery environment with AWS rather quickly and meet business requirements."

"We have never had any issues with scalability."

"The solution is dependent on the network bandwidth. For example, if they have a bandwidth of 10Mbps the solution will run a little heavier. If the bandwidth is good the solution runs well."

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

"For regular backup and restore solutions, this product is fine."

"The initial setup is really straightforward."

More AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery pros

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

"The solution is easy to use."

"The solution's setup phase was straightforward."

"The tool is automatic and makes migration easy."

Cons

"In its current state, ECL integrates with CloudWatch for basic logging and monitoring, yet improvements could include more detailed logs for specific actions, like when I perform actions such as push or pull."

"An improved AWS pricing model is needed."

"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 UI could be a little sleeker."

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

"I would like to see better support for creating and working with archives."

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

"Sometimes a server will get a bit behind. "

More AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery cons

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

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

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

"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

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

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

"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."

"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."

"It has saved us money from having to buy hardware for disaster recovery."

"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."
