Rapid recovery has minimized downtime and protects critical data during frequent outages
AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery can be improved through regular drills to ensure that all resources are properly prepared for disasters with scheduled drills. This includes testing and understanding failback, which is crucial for a comprehensive disaster recovery plan. Monitoring and health checks are important to continuously monitor the health of the ongoing replication using the AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery console or programmatically. This helps identify any servers that may require attention and ensures that the application is functioning correctly. Creating a CloudFormation template that can create the necessary network resources on demand is useful for disaster recovery. There should be documentation and best practices guidance so that teams can follow best practices for implementation and maintenance of disaster recovery from on-premises using AWS. This includes a written recovery plan as well as regularly updating it with findings and required changes. Within the scope of improvements, there are many possibilities, but it is currently providing some great results. The scope of improvements can include monitoring and health checks as well as documentation with best practices for documentations, and conducting regular drills.

Simplifies snapshot recovery and improves compatibility challenges
The biggest challenge we faced was attempting replication between two different kinds of storage systems, like IBM on one side and Dell EMC storage systems on the other, before opting for VPLEX. Initially, making the two storage systems replicate was not an easy task. There was a splitting in the fiber switches at first. Then, the RPAs, which manage replication, would move the IO blocks to the second system. In the end, the two systems were not the same, which made it difficult to synchronize them. However, we succeeded in replicating smoothly with Oracle databases and Windows machines. When we acquired the VPLEX Virtual solutions, it became much easier. It was a piece of cake to do the replication between two VPLEX systems since they communicate in the same language.

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 really straightforward."
"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.​"
"For regular backup and restore solutions, this product is fine."
"CloudEndure Disaster Recovery is a fairly stable solution."
"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."
"There has definitely been a lot of improvements in recovery time with very less downtime because we already understand how to recover using the clear process that AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery provides."
"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."
"It is a very simple tool to use and offers flexibility in using the tool for recovery and transitioning from one state to another."
"The most valuable features are the data center recovery administration and the time of recovery."
"The technical support from Dell is excellent."
"It is a point-in-time restore, which is quite handy."
"Dell RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines offers key features like any point-in-time recovery without needing scheduled snapshots."
"The workload can be moved directly if the disaster site is the main site."
"The generalization of the journals allows us to go back in time and choose the snapshot suitable for us. We can grab it as needed."
"Continuous replication with lower RTO and RPO is the most innovative feature. Its tight integration with VMware for VMware VMs is also valuable."
 

Cons

"I have not seen any areas that need improvement at this time."
"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."
"I would like to see better support for creating and working with archives."
"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."
"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 user interface, customer support, and the recovery time for the current customer query could use improvement."
"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 solution could improve by being more easier to use. However, once you have used it for a while it becomes easier. Additionally, there could be better support and compatibility with management by having a command-line interface. This would be beneficial for the customers."
"Maybe integration with Kubernetes for OpenShift would be helpful."
"The biggest challenge we faced was attempting replication between two different kinds of storage systems, like IBM on one side and Dell EMC storage systems on the other, before opting for VPLEX."
"In some cases, the response times could improve, but we haven't had issues with their support."
"Although we can change the IP address, it would be good to have some other sort of orchestration to make life easier to manage when we failover."
"The solution currently supports only VMware. There is increasing demand for compatibility with other hypervisors, such as Hyper V and KVM Proxmox. Additionally, licensing has become less flexible and more expensive."
"In the next release of this software, I would like to see options that help to decrease the bandwidth required, such as compressing the data."
"The biggest challenge we faced was attempting replication between two different kinds of storage systems, like IBM on one side and Dell EMC storage systems on the other, before opting for VPLEX."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 rate the price of CloudEndure Disaster Recovery a six out of ten."
"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."
"I feel the product's pricing is a good value. Licensing is pretty straightforward."
"They license us on a per machine basis. We have a set number of machines, which we have licensed.​"
"It has saved us money from having to buy hardware for disaster recovery."
"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."
"There is a license required for this solution and the pricing depends on how many virtual machines you have."
"This is not a very cheap solution and compared to others, it is expensive."
"Pricing-wise, it is pretty much fair for any customer who only has a VMware environment. Licensing is based on the number of VMs that you want to protect at any given point in time. Licensing is not based on size."
"The tool is expensive. If one means cheaply priced and ten means expensive, I rate the tool's price as a seven."
"It was a part of a backup solution. So, it was free for us."
"This is an expensive product."
