Disaster recovery has strengthened critical grid operations and maintains regulatory compliance
A couple of things where AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery could improve are the granular testing of OT workloads. It would be helpful to have fully isolated test recoveries for our OT data, such as SCADA or pole telemetry, without impacting replication, to help validate disaster recovery readiness more frequently. Additionally, advanced reporting and analytics would be beneficial. If the tool could provide more built-in dashboards to show replication lag trends, failover readiness, or system dependencies, it would save time and improve transparency for both field teams and regulatory reporting. In terms of integration, tighter integration with our asset management systems and GIS databases would streamline automated recovery of linked OT systems and data relationships, making failover more efficient. There should also be more fine-grained alerts for replication lag or orchestration failures, with customizable thresholds for different types of workloads to improve proactive incident response. My advice would be to start with a clear disaster recovery strategy. Identify which IT and OT systems are critical, calculate the recovery time objective, and which assets need replication first. Keep latency-sensitive or legacy OT systems on-premises while replicating core IT workloads to AWS for fast, reliable failover. It is essential to keep testing failovers regularly, as it builds confidence and uncovers gaps that help ensure smooth operation during real incidents. Actively monitor costs by paying attention to replication storage and compute usage since AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery is pay-as-you-go, which allows us to save thousands of dollars annually. Connecting disaster recovery events with field operations, SCADA systems, and asset management dashboards streamlines operational responses. The AWS team is great, and engaging with their support and architects, along with their documentation and best practices, is very helpful.

Technical support has improved my data management process but I encounter GUI and cost challenges
The solution is available in the Azure Marketplace, but approaching directly is more cost-effective. The Marketplace approach incurs additional platform and reporting costs. We initially built Rubrik at host level and DB level. We encountered latency issues when reverting back, with numerous snapshots available. This resulted in increased costs and occupied spaces. I performed manual deletion of snapshots and verified with the Rubrik team for confirmation. The GUI reporting functionality lacks flexibility. For instance, obtaining specific server reports considering drive space and backup quantities is not possible, as it only provides overall reporting.

Experience with offsite backup enhances data integrity and reduces on-premise reliance
One of the features of Veritas Alta SaaS Protection that customers are looking for is immutability. This is the most important feature. With the cloud, Veritas Alta SaaS Protection is actually in the cloud, which means they have unlimited space to do their backups. They can expand on a need-to-need basis. The automated recovery feature of Veritas Alta SaaS Protection makes the recovery much easier, as opposed to earlier methods where we were using scripts to do the restore. Currently, it's automated so you just do a click. You select the feature in a graphical interface, making it easy to use even for a newbie.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"CloudEndure Disaster Recovery is a fairly stable solution."
"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."
"For regular backup and restore solutions, this product is fine."
"It offers seamless integration with services like ACL, EKS, and Fargate for deploying containerized applications."
"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 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."
"Technical support has been very good. They usually respond quickly to our requests.​"
"The most valuable feature is the archive to cloud location and the automation around the PowerShell script. There are also reports and dashboards."
"The live mounting and compatibility of different operating systems is great."
"The main benefit is that we are secured in terms of workloads. We know that if we need to restore any VMs, or even any files inside a VM, that we will succeed 100 percent. This means that we don't need to spend much time administering the backup environment because we know it is self-healing and efficient. So, we are spending that time on something else, which is always a plus."
"Disk mount that lets a restore happen immediately, no need to re-hydrate."
"A Google-like file search, system scaling, and a frequent development cycle are some positives that this solution offers."
"The most valuable feature is the Instant Recovery, where we can restore a VM or SQL database or any server or application, and have it up and running on their appliance within a few seconds."
"Rubrik has automation capabilities that help streamline my workflows."
"The web interface is user-friendly, clean, and it provides a good summary of what you're protecting at a glance."
"It's very comprehensive. It's one of the first brands to appear in its field."
"We're comfortable using this kind of technology. It's user-friendly."
"I think the most important feature is the ability of SaaS Backup to cover all modules proposed by Office 365, because competing solutions don't cover the total scope."
"The most valuable feature is that it is simple to use."
"What I like most about Veritas SaaS Backup is that it is easy to work on."
"The automated recovery feature of Veritas Alta SaaS Protection makes the recovery much easier, as opposed to earlier methods where we were using scripts to do the restore."
"Veritas is loaded with features because the appliance is ready to integrate with the cloud in cases where the customers have a hybrid or cloud environment."
"The solution is stable; I haven't experienced any bugs or glitches on it."
 

Cons

"A couple of things where AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery could improve are the granular testing of OT workloads."
"There is definitely a scope of improvement, and for year-end licensing, they should definitely improve the cost."
"A couple of things where AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery could improve are the granular testing of OT workloads."
"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."
"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 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 have not seen any areas that need improvement at this time."
"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."
"Rubrik's disaster recovery capabilities could be improved."
"I have a personal want which might not necessarily make sense with Rubrik as a company or Rubrik as a software, but it'd be really nice if they could also handle things like item-level backups and restores of Active Directory objects and DNS and DCP objects."
"The integrated reporting is not really that nicely built. The reporting functionality could definitely be a little bit more customizable from an administration perspective, with an easier to understand interface."
"It needs more storage array integration options and an easier restore for files that download using a browser."
"Collecting logs in Rubrik is very difficult compared to other tools."
"I would like a way to set monthly backups on a certain date and time."
"The Office 365 protection could be improved."
"Rubrik can only leverage cloud storage for archiving and has no cloud failover."
"The implementation could be improved. The server setup is very easy, but some specific client implementation, for example, Oracle or SQL servers, are a little bit complicated. they should offer a bit more assistance with the setup for these particular items."
"Technical support can be improved."
"Licensing has been a struggle. It went from bronze, silver to gold. Licensing needs more sophistication. It has features that are sold as separate add-ons."
"The solution does lack a lot of features, and we're considering switching."
"The usability of the solution isn't the best."
"Currently, it isn't possible to use anything other than Veritas cloud to back up to. I think today it's important to cover the three major cloud provider: GCP, Azure and AWS."
"The backup reports and the dashboard need improvement."
"The tool can be improved in terms of maintainability and flexibility, especially as companies grow larger. In these aspects, I feel Veeam is better for cloud and operational purposes."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"They license us on a per machine basis. We have a set number of machines, which we have licensed.​"
"We were happy with the pricing that they gave us."
"I feel the product's pricing is a good value. Licensing is pretty straightforward."
"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."
"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."
"It has saved us money from having to buy hardware for disaster recovery."
"Rubrik is a little bit expensive, but it's worth the price."
"The setup cost is a bit high, but the solution is an all-in-one solution."
"The pricing has been quite good from our perspective, in terms of being able to negotiate with the Rubrik team to get the product that we want and be able to sell that out to our end customers."
"We are on an annual license to use Rubrik and it is priced well."
"High priced when considering a total change in backup solution."
"You need to understand what you're getting for the price. You are getting a backup solution, which is state of the art and works absolutely flawlessly. You are getting the storage needed to store your backups. You have all the sexy features that a modern backup solution can provide you, like deduplication, erasure coding, compression, fast execution time, secured data, and top-notch customer support. So, it might be expensive on paper. It's not free, but when you analyze what you are getting and the time you can spend on other stuff, then Rubrik is very cost-efficient."
"Originally, we bought the units on perpetual licenses. Now, we have switched to Rubrik Go. I think the Rubrik Go subscription is a better model, where it is based on your onsite environment and you consume what you use."
"The initial setup cost includes support and maintenance costs, followed by a monthly fee."
"The program is quite expensive."
"SaaS Backup isn't the most expensive solution."
"The tool is expensive compared to Veeam."
"This solution is not cheap and not expensive but priced in the mid-range."
"I would rate this solution's pricing as five out of five."
