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.
Charles Daou - PeerSpot reviewer
Great backup that's user-friendly and very reliable
The initial setup is very straightforward. It is easy. There are no great difficulties when setting up the solution. Even the configuration is simple. The deployment itself takes only a couple of days. It only takes one person to install it. You do not need a big team. We had an engineer manage it. The product does not require any maintenance.

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 is an easy-to-use and fairly stable solution for disaster recovery."
"Our primary use case is for disaster recovery and business continuity and disaster recovery (BCDR)."
"The most valuable features of Azure Site Recovery are its ease of use and speed of recovery."
"The setup is quite easy, just requiring the creation of a vault."
"The features I find most valuable in Azure Site Recovery include the test failover, which allows us to test our site recovery without bringing down the primary; disaster recovery provides that feature."
"A major benefit is that you do not want to pay any more for huge costs to build a DR site."
"You can create automation to move workloads and redirect traffic to another region."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the snapshot capability."
"The most valuable features are the fast replication and recovery of data."
"One of the most valuable features of Veeam Cloud Connect is it does not require the use of an extremely fast internet connection for it to work. The backup process is automated which is great."
"The most valuable feature is that it is very elastic. It's adaptable because it's very flexible and modular."
"the interface is the most valuable feature and for the client it's security."
"The best part about this solution is that it just works."
"A really good feature is backing up the emails of the company."
"This solution works really well and it is simple to deploy."
 

Cons

"It could include more of a backup and recovery."
"Could have more integration with other platforms."
"I would like to see more security features."
"The support team took a lot of time to respond and was not very professional."
"One area for improvement with Azure is helping customers predict usage more accurately."
"The solution needs to improve replication and failover processes. We are still looking for improvements in the cost baseline."
"Azure Site Recovery does not support shared disk options."
"The primary area for improvement in Azure Site Recovery is its pricing."

"We need the solution to offer IT storage."
"If a customer has a low budget, Veeam may be too expensive."
"We are now able to work on more security-related tasks with Acronis, as they offer features such as antivirus, DLP, and various cybersecurity options. This is a significant improvement compared to our previous solution with Veeam Cloud Connect, where we were lacking such features. It also allows us to offer a wider range of security options to our customers."
"Pricing could be improved and I also think archiving could be improved."
"I would like to see more advanced training courses made available to cover complicated use cases."
"The solution could improve the stability."
"The pricing is much higher than what our clients expect it to be."

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