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.

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

"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 is an easy-to-use and fairly stable solution for disaster recovery."

"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."

"What I love about Azure Site Recovery is its simplicity for basic configurations."

"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."

"They're moving a lot of their workload to cloud and aiming for a seamlessly integrated product."

"Our primary use case is for disaster recovery and business continuity and disaster recovery (BCDR)."

"The solution is very easy to use."

More Azure Site Recovery pros

"It's a stable solution."

"The stability and restore options on the solution are very good."

"A really good feature is backing up the emails of the company."

"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 interface is the most valuable feature and for the client it's security."

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

"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."

"The most valuable feature is that it is very elastic. It's adaptable because it's very flexible and modular."

Cons

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

"Azure Site Recovery's deployment is complex. There are a lot of bugs, and it needs to improve stability."

"Could have more integration with other platforms."

"The tool should improve synchronization."

"The support team took a lot of time to respond and was not very professional."

"I would like to see more security features."

"It could include more of a backup and recovery."

"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."

More Azure Site Recovery cons

"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."

"Doesn't back-up from KVM."

"It would be helpful if the enterprise edition was more complete. It's not as complete as the enterprise plus edition is. For instance, in the enterprise version, we can only use one accelerator with the cloud provider. It means if I have my Cloud Connect, I cannot connect another site of mine with another cloud connect and use an accelerator of Veeam. They should change this."

"Basically, a huge amount of storage capacity can be required in certain cases."

"I think Veeam Cloud Connect could be more stable, scalable, and secure. I think better pricing is needed."

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

"We need the solution to offer IT storage."

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"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."

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

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

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

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

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

"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 pricing of Veeam Cloud Connect is good."
