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.
Sareesh V - PeerSpot reviewer
The solution can be used for DR testing and allows running an infinite number of full backups
When we consider the backup model of other products like Veeam, their incremental backup just adds to their first full backup. With Veritas System Recovery, we have the option to run an infinite number of full backups according to our requirements. With my cloud version of Veritas System Recovery, I can have a full backup every month, which is not possible with any other vendors. Other vendors will claim that the original copy is strong enough, but the customers have to ensure that bugs won't cause any problems in the future. However, with Veritas System Recovery, you can run a full backup this month and again run a full backup on the first or thirtieth day of the next month.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"CloudEndure Disaster Recovery is a fairly stable solution."
"It offers seamless integration with services like ACL, EKS, and Fargate for deploying containerized applications."
"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."
"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."
"​The initial setup is really straightforward."
"AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery is a robust and reliable solution for disaster recovery needs."
"Since it is a managed service, I reduce my time to manage infrastructure and applications."
"The solution captures the system state, so when we restore the system, it will be restored to the state it was in at the time of the backup."
"The installation was straightforward."
"The tool helps automate system recovery. The solution is most useful in scenarios involving restoration to a different environment. For instance, when migrating from a physical server to a virtual one, the tool facilitates conversion."
"The solution has helped reduce my company's cost by around 50 to 60 percent."
"It has a user-friendly interface."
"With Veritas System Recovery, we have the option to run an infinite number of full backups according to our requirements."
"You can back up the whole image."
"Offers good recovery quickly."
 

Cons

"The solution's network setup and a lot of the control tower setup could be improved."
"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."
"I would like to see better support for creating and working with archives."
"The cost of AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery is seen as expensive."
"I have not seen any areas that need improvement at this time."
"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."
"The user interface, customer support, and the recovery time for the current customer query could use improvement."
"An improved AWS pricing model is needed."
"It needs an easier interface."
"Lacks the ability to protect the database snapshot."
"The pricing could be cheaper."
"The reliability is sometimes lacking."
"Veritas System Recovery’s pricing and local support need some improvement."
"Veritas System Recovery Manager offers some manager solutions, but there is room for improvement."
"The product's integration capabilities are an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"The tool's deployment could be easier. The deployment itself isn't the issue; rather, the problem lies in configuring policies and testing everything before it's ready. We invest a significant amount of time in preparing for various scenarios. However, we often encounter situations where changes have occurred since our initial preparations. This can render the automation less valuable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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.​"
"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."
"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."
"CloudEndure Disaster Recovery is charging clients $20 to do the DR backups. It is an expensive solution."
"I rate the price of CloudEndure Disaster Recovery a six out of ten."
"My company has to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the solution. There is no need to pay any additional fees apart from the licensing costs attached to the solution."
