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

"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."
"Provides generally good performance, from protection to production to failover to data recovery."
"The most useful thing is that it provides a snapshot of your environment in about 15 minutes, it is stable, and it always works, and it is also scalable and easy to set up."
"Azure Site Recovery helps to save costs."
"Site Recovery's most valuable features include its user-friendly console and the ease of migration."
"Azure Site Recovery is obviously a time-saving solution, and I can write PowerShell scripts to automate failover on or off processes."
"What I like best about Azure Site Recovery is that it's easier to use because my organization already has Azure as an Active Directory solution."
"The solution is secure, reliable, and scalable."
"The most valuable feature of Precisely Assure QuickEDD is the backup system."
"Synchronous applications are valuable."
"Its initial setup is fine; it is straightforward and easy."
 

Cons

"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."
"The support team took a lot of time to respond and was not very professional."
"We need to be able to move the virtual servers and not build and then port them across. They need to improve the hypervisor."
"Azure Site Recovery's deployment is complex. There are a lot of bugs, and it needs to improve stability."
"The pricing predictability and clarity around the final cost of the plan of this solution could be improved."
"There have been issues with replication. It would be helpful if error logging was handled more effectively."
"The solution needs to improve replication and failover processes. We are still looking for improvements in the cost baseline."
"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."
"It is expensive. The cost varies based on your requirements."
"There should be more interactive dashboards."
"Our administrator found the solution easy to use, but once that administrator left, it felt very overwhelming to the individual who took it over."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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