Cons
"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.""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.""One area for improvement with Azure is helping customers predict usage more accurately.""I would like to see more security features.""Site Recovery's scalability could be improved.""The primary area for improvement in Azure Site Recovery is its pricing.""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."

More Azure Site Recovery Cons →

"When you schedule some jobs, you should be able to see a list of the jobs contained within each. You have to open up the editor to see what is inside. You must click through and edit stuff. Each time, it asks you to save or discard changes. It's very annoying. You only see the name of the scheduled job, and you need to edit it to see what's it's inside.""The only thing I could say is maybe some more options for job scheduling are needed.""One complaint I have is the dashboard flashing as it reloads/refreshes itself. The program was not always like that and it happened after an update at some point.""At the moment I am pleased with what Nakivo does but I would like more reporting functions and if possible, integration with my RMM system.""An additional feature that would be appreciated is disaster recovery automation.""In terms of what could be improved for the next release, I would probably answer better documentation and licensing models.""There is a familiar error that pops up and that is a VM error as much as it is a Nakivo error. It says that the job couldn't calm the VM and restores might be impacted. That error is, to say the least, a bit scary. I have seen this type of error on other backup systems also.""Updating VM Tools on a replicated VM could be better."
