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.
ClaudioSalgado - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers replication flexibility across multiple environments, including local centers and secondary sites
It offers key features like any point-in-time recovery without needing scheduled snapshots. It allows for automated VM protection during processes like failover and testing, and it offers replication flexibility across multiple environments, including local centers and secondary sites. It also provides IP address management when network configurations differ across sites.

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."
"Customer service is quite helpful."
"It provides our disaster recovery solution. It works fine in our tests.​"
"The strong points are the stability and scalability of the solution, as well as the convenience of it being cloud-based."
"The setup is pretty straightforward."
"I appreciate the automated orchestration of recovery processes in this solution, especially integration with Route 53 and automatically using Route 53 to switch to a different region directly."
"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."
"We have never had any issues with scalability."
"The technical support from Dell is excellent."
"RecoverPoint replicates workloads fast."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to change IP addresses when failing a server over."
"Dell RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines offers key features like any point-in-time recovery without needing scheduled snapshots."
"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."
"Point-in-time recovery and ease of deployment are valuable."
"The product's initial setup phase was quite easy to install."
"The most valuable feature is that it is journal-based and you don't have to replicate a lot of data."
 

Cons

"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."
"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 cost of AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery is seen as expensive."
"I have not seen any areas that need improvement at this time."
"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."
"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."
"It would be good to have a critical application on the customer side."
"The solution currently supports only VMware."
"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's technical team has enough skills, but the process can get complicated with the time you get connected with the L3 support."
"It can have better integration. It would be good if, in addition to VMware VM, it can also support other hypervisors. I also want to see support for Oracle databases. As of now, it supports only SQL and Exchange. It would be good to also support other databases."
"The configuration process seems a bit challenging, and the installation takes a bit longer than expected."
"It should have features for recovering a group of virtual machines and full-scale security. For recovering all the VMs at once, they don't have a GUI option, and we have to use the command line."
"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

"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."
"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."
"We were happy with the pricing that they gave us."
"I feel the product's pricing is a good value. Licensing is pretty straightforward."
"It has saved us money from having to buy hardware for disaster recovery."
"This is an expensive product."
"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."
"It was a part of a backup solution. So, it was free for us."
"The tool is expensive. If one means cheaply priced and ten means expensive, I rate the tool's price as a seven."
"There is a license required for this solution and the pricing depends on how many virtual machines you have."
