Database Expert at a tech company with 51-200 employees
Excellent Rental Data Centres to simulate a DR (Disaster Recovery) operation .
SunGard provides DR (Disaster Recovery) services at it's data centers. The service is for companies who do not maintain their own dedicated DR sites and need to rent one to conduct a DR exercise for validating it's DR setup. These centers have state of the art equipment with all possible hardware options and one needs to define their specific requirements. Companies can rent their hardware cages at SunGard Site and have options to replicate their critical data at the DR site periodically. They can then simulate the DR exercise when desired. Additionally Tape restores are also possible at the DR site.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"These centers have state of the art equipment with all possible hardware options and one needs to define their specific requirements."
"You can create automation to move workloads and redirect traffic to another region."
"Site Recovery's most valuable features include its user-friendly console and the ease of migration."
"The solution is secure, reliable, and scalable."
"It is a very stable product and very scalable."
"Despite the cost concerns and downtime management, I would still recommend Azure Site Recovery."
"The documentation is good, and it can be integrated with other products."
"Azure Site Recovery is an easy-to-use and fairly stable solution for disaster recovery."
"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."
 

Cons

"This is a good service, however a costly one."
"It could include more of a backup and recovery."
"When it runs, it runs well but when it doesn't run, the solution needs to make it clearer as to why and what the troubleshooting process is. All this would be possible if the error logging was streamlined a bit."
"We need to be able to move the virtual servers and not build and then port them across. They need to improve the hypervisor."
"We've invested nearly 20 million pounds in Azure and it's been an absolute disaster for us."
"One area for improvement with Azure is helping customers predict usage more accurately."
"In the newest version of Azure Site Recovery, the configuration was a little more complex, so this is an area for improvement."
"The primary area for improvement in Azure Site Recovery is its pricing."
"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."
 

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."
"I'm not sure about the Azure Site Recovery pricing, but my organization gets monthly bills from providers."
"They have a license to pay."
"The tool's licensing is yearly and not expensive."
"Azure Site Recovery is neither very expensive nor very cheap."
"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."
"Azure Site Recovery is a very reasonably priced product."
