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.

Pros

"The solution is very easy to use."

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

"It is a very stable product and very scalable."

"Site Recovery's most valuable features include its user-friendly console and the ease of migration."

"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."

"Azure Site Recovery helps to save costs."

More Azure Site Recovery pros

"In the newest version of Azure Site Recovery, the configuration was a little more complex, so this is an area for improvement."

"It could include more of a backup and recovery."

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

"The support team took a lot of time to respond and was not very professional."

"we lack a straightforward method to automate the restart of services, which can be quite time-consuming."

"The tool should improve synchronization."

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

More Azure Site Recovery cons

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

"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."

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

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

"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."
