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.

Great backup that's user-friendly and very reliable

The initial setup is very straightforward. It is easy. There are no great difficulties when setting up the solution. Even the configuration is simple. The deployment itself takes only a couple of days. It only takes one person to install it. You do not need a big team. We had an engineer manage it. The product does not require any maintenance.

"AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery has allowed us to maintain critical operations during high-impact natural disasters, protecting both our customers and our assets while demonstrating measurable improvements in our response time and regulatory compliance."

More AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery pros

"the interface is the most valuable feature and for the client it's security."

"The best part about this solution is that it just works."

"The most valuable quality of Veeam Cloud Connect is its reliability."

"The most valuable features of Veeam Cloud Connect are its ease of use and the portal is very useful."

"While there are some complexities, Veeam tries to keep the product simple and offers a good knowledge base. It's quite structured, so you can easily take one subject and learn about it simply by reading through the documentation."

"The most valuable features are the fast replication and recovery of data."

"The most valuable feature of Veeam Cloud Connect is the server backups, such as the Microsoft Windows server. Additionally, the updates provide useful enterprise functionality."

More Veeam Cloud Connect [EOL] pros

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."

"I set up a test, deleted the source, and went to fail it back, and it didn't work."

"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."

"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."

"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."

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

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

More AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery cons

"We need the solution to offer IT storage."

"The solution could improve the stability."

"Pricing could be improved and I also think archiving could be improved."

"We encountered some issues with stability at the beginning."

"We were interested in investing hundreds of thousands of dollars in VMware. VMware right now is one of the biggest solutions in the world, in terms of the IT environment. But for Cloud Connect it's not. I think they need the cloud version to reach more customers, to enable the cloud version to be used by more people."

"The solution should allow for interfacing with other public cloud vendors. They could work to build something around that concept."

"The bandwidth optimization needs to be improved and have better efficiency so that you send fewer amounts of data from one site to the other."

"Basically, a huge amount of storage capacity can be required in certain cases."

More Veeam Cloud Connect [EOL] cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"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."

"I feel the product's pricing is a good value. Licensing is pretty straightforward."

"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."

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

"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."

More AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery pricing and cost advice

"I think that this is one of the most cost-effective solutions."

"The pricing of Veeam Cloud Connect is good."

"It's not the cheapest solution on the market but it's reliable, so we find it cost-effective."

"The licensing fee is on a monthly basis."

"The licensing is MSP-based. It is connected to the portal, and you can deploy it to your end users as well."

"The price of the solution could be cheaper. There are monthly or yearly subscription options available. The annual subscription tends to be cheaper."

"The price of the solution is reasonable because of our good standing with the vendor."

"We are looking into how we can extend the license of this product."
