Long-term user praises cost savings and reliability of disaster recovery solutions
There is only one thing to note: the agent has to be up-to-date when SCCM or any third-party tools are doing patching activities. If their agent version is mismatched and the health status is critical, you will not be able to perform your Azure Site Recovery. 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. When you raise a call, they wait too long, and even if you request an engineer to set up a call for severity B cases, they are not ready to communicate over the phone, preferring email instead.

Trustworthy and provides good availability
Our administrator found the solution easy to use, but once that administrator left, it felt very overwhelming to the individual who took it over. It could be more of a knowledge transfer situation that didn't happen, but we didn't know if it was easy to use. Precisely Assure QuickEDD is deployed on the cloud in our organization. The implementation of QLED helped us with our recovery time objective and was a seamless transition. In order to utilize the product to its fullest potential, users should be knowledgeable of what it offers. They should also form a relationship with the person who is their representative. Overall, I rate the solution an eight or nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Our primary use case is for disaster recovery and business continuity and disaster recovery (BCDR)."
"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."
"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."
"The solution is very easy to use."
"The setup is quite easy, just requiring the creation of a vault."
"Site Recovery's most valuable features include its user-friendly console and the ease of migration."
"You can create automation to move workloads and redirect traffic to another region."
"Synchronous applications are valuable."
"The most valuable feature of Precisely Assure QuickEDD is the backup system."
 

Cons

"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 system did go down a couple of times, which impacted our operations. For stability, I would rate it a seven out of ten."
"The product's performance is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The primary area for improvement in Azure Site Recovery is its pricing."
"The pricing predictability and clarity around the final cost of the plan of this solution could be improved."
"Could have more integration with other platforms."
"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."
"Azure Site Recovery's deployment is complex. There are a lot of bugs, and it needs to improve stability."
"Our administrator found the solution easy to use, but once that administrator left, it felt very overwhelming to the individual who took it over."
"There should be more interactive dashboards."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I'm not sure about the Azure Site Recovery pricing, but my organization gets monthly bills from providers."
"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."
"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 affordable."
"The tool's licensing is yearly and not expensive."
"Azure Site Recovery is neither very expensive nor very cheap."
"They have a license to pay."
"Azure Site Recovery is a very reasonably priced product."
"It is expensive. The cost varies based on your requirements. If you want to manage it, there is an extra cost."
