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

"The strong points are the stability and scalability of the solution, as well as the convenience of it being cloud-based."

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

"CloudEndure Disaster Recovery is a fairly stable solution."

"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."

"We have never had any issues with scalability."

"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."

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

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

"An improved AWS pricing model is needed."

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

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"We were happy with the pricing that they gave us."

"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."

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

"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."
