Featured Reviews

Vijay Londhe - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Pramodh Maheshwar - PeerSpot reviewer
A scalable solution for backup and restore that has an easy setup
The solution's updates and rollouts of the patches cause a lot of problems. There's no other way around it. Recently, we have also faced RDS and print server issues. One of our clients experienced some remote desktop service issues. These things keep happening with Microsoft. They have a patch, and then they have some other rollout that fixes it. The solution should be more consistent with its patching updates.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"​The initial setup is really straightforward."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward, it's not complex."
"CloudEndure Disaster Recovery is a fairly stable solution."
"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."
"AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery is a robust and reliable solution for disaster recovery needs."
"Technical support has been very good. They usually respond quickly to our requests.​"
"The setup is pretty straightforward."
"The solution has good scalability."
"The most valuable feature includes leaving the stub files behind and integrating that with the recenter feature."
"The stability has always been very good."
"Backup and Restore for SharePoint & Microsoft Office 365 is easy to use."
 

Cons

"The solution's network setup and a lot of the control tower setup could be improved."
"The cost of AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery is seen as expensive."
"The only thing I would like to see is, they don't have a formal ticketing system. There is no way I can go back and see what questions we had six months back, what issues we had, and how they were resolved."
"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."
"An improved AWS pricing model is needed."
"The UI could be a little sleeker."
"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."
"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."
"The solution's updates and rollouts of the patches cause a lot of problems."
"We need more options for the backup schedule."
"I think the solution itself keeps up with everything else. Sometimes it would be nice if they could move a little bit quicker and have faster updates, but in terms of the features, it's absolutely fine and adequate."
"The user experience needs a little refreshing touch."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"I feel the product's pricing is a good value. Licensing is pretty straightforward."
"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."
"We were happy with the pricing that they gave us."
"It has saved us money from having to buy hardware for disaster recovery."
"CloudEndure Disaster Recovery is charging clients $20 to do the DR backups. It is an expensive solution."
"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."
"The solution could also be cheaper."
"The solution’s pricing is expensive."
"Regarding CloudArchiver, you purchase per terabyte."
