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.

Cons

"The solution's network setup and a lot of the control tower setup could be improved."

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

"An improved AWS pricing model is needed."

"I have not seen any areas that need improvement at this time."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"CloudEndure Disaster Recovery is charging clients $20 to do the DR backups. It is an expensive solution."

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

"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."

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

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

"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."
