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.

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

"The solution is secure, reliable, and scalable."

"Azure Site Recovery is an easy-to-use and fairly stable solution for disaster recovery."

"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."

"Azure Site Recovery helps to save costs."

"A major benefit is that you do not want to pay any more for huge costs to build a DR site."

"Despite the cost concerns and downtime management, I would still recommend Azure Site Recovery."

"They're moving a lot of their workload to cloud and aiming for a seamlessly integrated product."

More Azure Site Recovery pros

"MSP360 Backup's most valuable feature is its backup interface."

"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."

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

"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."

"The most valuable feature of MSP360 Backup is its reliability."

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

"The solution is simple to use and easy to configure."

"Technical support is very good."

Cons

"Azure Site Recovery does not support shared disk options."

"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."

"Recently, I worked with a mass issue related to Recovery Services Vault, and the VM support engineers are taking a lot of time to extend support to the customer."

"Could have more integration with other platforms."

"The immutable backup could be better."

"The system did go down a couple of times, which impacted our operations. For stability, I would rate it a seven out of ten."

"The flexibility of Azure Site Recovery regarding integration with different IT environments is limited; it is purely an Azure platform service for business continuity, not meant for integration with other services."

"The tool should improve synchronization."

More Azure Site Recovery cons

"There are some things that we don't like about it. That is why I was exploring alternatives in a hyper-scale environment. That is why I was checking IT Central Station."

"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 product could be more user-friendly."

"We could basically use just a more concise visual dashboard reporting on the status of the various machines."

"The interface feels like it is targeted for end users who typically are looking for an all-in-one integrated push button solution. It would be better if the interface had a beginner mode and an expert mode."

"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."

"The solution's pricing is very high."

"Using the solution incurs additional charges for the device storage and backup which are not included in the service."

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."

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

"Azure Site Recovery is a very reasonably priced product."

"Azure Site Recovery is affordable."

"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."

"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."

"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."

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

"The solution is expensive."

"We have a very good return on investment."

"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."

"The cost is pretty inexpensive. Around four to five dollars per device, per workstation on each server."
