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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

"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."

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

"The initial setup is really straightforward."

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

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

"CloudEndure Disaster Recovery is a fairly stable solution."

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

More AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery pros

"Disaster Recovery Services is stable."

"The initial setup is very easy and user-friendly."

"The solution works well for very large organizations. It can scale quite well."

Cons

"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."

"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 failback could be improved. It should be more intuitive."

"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 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

"Stability could always be better."

"Disaster Recovery Services could provide better value for money."

"The infrastructure level of IBM's recovery systems could be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"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."

"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 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."

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

More AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery pricing and cost advice

"Disaster Recovery Services is expensive."

"The pricing of the solution is based on the scale of the project or business. It's based on the server amount and the amount of data being stored. For our client, based on the amount of data they have, it may be around $20,000 USD. It could get much more expensive on the customer side."
