The time-saving aspects allow us to write PowerShell scripts to automate failover processes

First of all, we initially faced a challenge as Azure Site Recovery was not supporting shared disk options on SQL clusters with VMs, which are important for a Windows cluster mode. Additionally, the setup is quite easy, only requiring the creation of a vault. Its time-saving aspects allow us to write PowerShell scripts to automate failover processes.

Ensures swift recovery from ransomware attacks and improves business continuity

The best features Datto SIRIS offers are ease of use, competitive pricing, and great support, which stand out for me. The ease of use of Datto SIRIS comes from the all-in-one control panel, making it very easy to use and handy to have compared to other solutions I've used. Datto SIRIS has positively impacted my organization by improving business continuity; after a ransomware attack that took down our main server, using the bare-metal recovery, we were up and running within the day.
