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.

Efficient file restoration with rapid incremental backups and potential for better reporting
I suggest improvements in the time it takes to restore data. Also, the reports we can generate have limited features. There is a limitation in the advanced reporting features, such as understanding how many files are in the backup, which users are actively using it, and how many files have been backed up properly.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Site Recovery's most valuable features include its user-friendly console and the ease of migration."
"Azure Site Recovery is an easy-to-use and fairly stable solution for disaster recovery."
"The solution is secure, reliable, and scalable."
"What I love about Azure Site Recovery is its simplicity for basic configurations."
"Azure Site Recovery allows my company to save around 30 percent of the time on every VM that we need to back up and restore."
"It’s native to Azure and does exactly what it’s designed to do—recover one site to another without creating all the VMs on that site. This helps reduce costs on the secondary site."
"Provides generally good performance, from protection to production to failover to data recovery."
"We use the solution across hospitality and healthcare domains. We use it for custom development. It helps us develop a seamless omnichannel for the healthcare industry."
"Over the past five years, I haven't experienced any issues or problems with Druva."
"The centralized management console in this solution and AI-driven analytics are good features."
"The most valuable feature of Druva is that it can detect changes in files or laptops and perform incremental backups."
 

Cons

"The pricing predictability and clarity around the final cost of the plan of this solution could be improved."
"It would be good if we could replicate the solution to multiple locations simultaneously because we are currently allowed to replicate to just a single location."
"It is for site-to-site replication. When something goes wrong on your site, you only get 15 minutes before it also goes wrong on your replicated site. There should be some way to be able to say that we want to restore it, but we want to restore it to the version from yesterday. It should support versioning. I would also like to see real-time scanning for advanced threat protection, more straightforward billing, and quicker turnaround on the tech support."
"The tool should improve synchronization."
"The primary area for improvement in Azure Site Recovery is its pricing."
"Azure Site Recovery does not support shared disk options."
"The immutable backup could be better."
"The product's performance is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"I suggest improvements in the time it takes to restore data."
"I suggest improvements in the time it takes to restore data."
"They can improve their product quality for Salesforce as they don't have the capability to run that business without Technobind."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Azure Site Recovery is neither very expensive nor very cheap."
"I'm not sure about the Azure Site Recovery pricing, but my organization gets monthly bills from providers."
"They have a license to pay."
"The tool is expensive. What is expensive to me might not be expensive to you. As I mentioned, we seek ways to reduce our costs. If the price goes down, that would be great. I rate the tool's pricing a six out of ten."
"The tool's licensing is yearly and not expensive."
"Azure Site Recovery is affordable."
"It should have more straightforward billing. The billing was what got funky. It was really cheap. We would pay based on the usage. We paid around $225 a month for site-to-site replication."
"Azure Site Recovery is a very reasonably priced product."
