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.

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

"The solution is secure, reliable, and scalable."

"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."

"Provides generally good performance, from protection to production to failover to data recovery."

"The solution is very easy to use."

"Azure Site Recovery helps to save costs."

"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."

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

"Despite the cost concerns and downtime management, I would still recommend Azure Site Recovery."

More Azure Site Recovery pros

"This solution works really well and it is simple to deploy."

"The most valuable feature is the snapshot capability."

"The administration and management integrate with multiple solutions, not just with one or two environments, even if they're not VMware products."

"The solution is already far more advanced than our customers require. It offers advanced scripting and automation pre-testing to support the custom library and custom tasks."

"The most valuable features of Veeam Cloud Connect are its ease of use and the portal is very useful."

"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."

"Replication without network changes."

"While there are some complexities, Veeam tries to keep the product simple and offers a good knowledge base. It's quite structured, so you can easily take one subject and learn about it simply by reading through the documentation."

More Veeam Cloud Connect [EOL] pros

Cons

"We need to be able to move the virtual servers and not build and then port them across. They need to improve the hypervisor."

"One area for improvement with Azure is helping customers predict usage more accurately."

"The system did go down a couple of times, which impacted our operations. For stability, I would rate it a seven out of ten."

"Could have more integration with other platforms."

"Currently, Azure Site Recovery does not support shared disk options. Moreover, it does not support services like AppConfig or App Services."

"Azure Site Recovery does not support shared disk options."

"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."

"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."

More Azure Site Recovery cons

"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."

"The solution could improve the stability."

"We were interested in investing hundreds of thousands of dollars in VMware. VMware right now is one of the biggest solutions in the world, in terms of the IT environment. But for Cloud Connect it's not. I think they need the cloud version to reach more customers, to enable the cloud version to be used by more people."

"Some of the features I'd like added to the solution would be coming up in version 12, so the only area for improvement I saw in Veeam Cloud Connect was the need to have more support for object storage."

"Doesn't back-up from KVM."

"We encountered some issues with stability at the beginning."

"If a customer has a low budget, Veeam may be too expensive."

"The pricing is much higher than what our clients expect it to be."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"They have a license to pay."

"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 a very reasonably priced product."

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

"Azure Site Recovery is affordable."

"Azure Site Recovery is neither very expensive nor very cheap."

"The pricing of Veeam Cloud Connect is good."

"We are looking into how we can extend the license of this product."

"I think that this is one of the most cost-effective solutions."

"The price of the solution could be cheaper. There are monthly or yearly subscription options available. The annual subscription tends to be cheaper."

"The licensing fee is on a monthly basis."

"The licensing is MSP-based. It is connected to the portal, and you can deploy it to your end users as well."

"The price of the solution is reasonable because of our good standing with the vendor."

"It's not the cheapest solution on the market but it's reliable, so we find it cost-effective."
