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.

CONRAD FORREST

President at MTS Consulting Group, Inc.

The solution provides the ability to backup all types of cloud drives, is inexpensive, and has decent support

MSP360 Backup provides the backup functionality, but we need to provide the storage component. We can use Azure, AWS, or another provider, but we need to choose the storage provider and create a bucket to store our data. The vendor is making changes to improve the functionality of the service and the separation of storage, but I would like to see more integration and a knowledge base of the tool. Currently trying to understand why the storage is separated and how to implement the storage properly is a challenge. Using the solution incurs additional charges for the device storage and backup which are not included in the service. Unlike other solutions such as Kohl which includes everything at one price. MSP360 Backup can be improved by adding inclusive pricing.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

"Azure Site Recovery is obviously a time-saving solution, and I can write PowerShell scripts to automate failover on or off processes."

"Azure Site Recovery's automated file synchronization was a game-changer in managing legacy systems."

"The setup is quite easy, just requiring the creation of a vault."

"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."

"The most valuable features of Azure Site Recovery are its ease of use and speed of 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."

"You can create automation to move workloads and redirect traffic to another region."

More Azure Site Recovery pros

"It has allowed me to implement a cost effective, highly configurable solution."

"Technical support is very good."

"The UI is pretty good. It's very simple. That is one thing that we like about this. It's very user-friendly."

"The initial setup is very easy. It's not overly complex."

"Client-side encryption minimizes worries about data being captured on the back-end."

"General ease of use and performance of the Windows version is the most valuable feature."

"The most valuable feature for me is that I can see what has has been successfully backed up and what not. I do not mean the file or folder view, because that's problematic with GDPR, but I mean which machines have successfully backed up. It's very valuable because you don't have to check the machines. The second feature is that you can change backup settings in the portal."

"One massive advantage of this solution, as compared to more enterprise products, is that no firewall changes are needed on the client's premises. For the product to back up from the client's premise to the cloud, it just needs port 8 and port 443, which are anyway always open. This was one of the things that made us decide to go with the product. It is very difficult to justify a firewall change for a small client who doesn't even know what a firewall is and how to maintain a firewall, or doesn't have anybody maintaining their firewall. You then have to maintain the firewall. MSP360 Backup takes away firewall change requirements, VPNs, or channels that are needed for the backup."

Cons

"The immutable backup could be better."

"I conveyed the feedback to the agent, suggesting an increase in the agent count in our VNS in the USA. I also addressed notification concerns, as some issues didn't trigger alerts during a recent call."

"The primary area for improvement in Azure Site Recovery is its pricing."

"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 product's performance is an area of concern where improvements are required."

"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."

"Could have more integration with other platforms."

More Azure Site Recovery cons

"The solution needs a better graphical user interface. It's a graphical user interface that is very old-school right now. They could give it a little more modern feel."

"The initial setup is a little complex as it has to be done in the office and requires someone to come in and install the solution on your server, then configure the scheduling, backup pushing, and so on."

"The main improvement is that it should have GDPR compliance. That's the problematic point. They say they are GDPR compliant, but they are not."

"The graphics are looking a bit old and should be updated."

"Maybe implement an easier interface for basic users. For example, a set-up wizard with all the commonly used features as default."

"The solution's pricing is very high."

"The Linux GUI leaves a lot to be desired. It lacks many of the features of the Windows version and is buggy, but it is still usable."

"As for what can be improved, some reports could be simplified so that you know how much backup you have done and what your backup details are. That report is available but it is very tough to get. I would like to know "today I have just uploaded 35 MB, tomorrow I have loaded 10 MB so my trend of backup is increasing.""

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"Azure Site Recovery is affordable."

"I'm not sure about the Azure Site Recovery pricing, but my organization gets monthly bills from providers."

"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."

"Azure Site Recovery is neither very expensive nor very cheap."

"The tool's licensing is yearly and not expensive."

"They have a license to pay."

"Pricing is reasonable although can be quite a large upfront cost."

"We have a very good return on investment."

"The solution is expensive."

"It provides a good cost savings compared to our previous cloud backup."

"I rate the price of MSP360 Backup a seven out of ten."

"MSP360 is vastly cheaper than its competitors and has almost all the same features."

"Its pricing needs improvement."

"It includes a standard licensing fee. Once a year, there is a rebranding fee. The licensing costs are available on the internet for MSP360 Backup. There is a discount structure where if you have over 50 devices, you get a 50% discount. So, my cost is $2 a license per month."
