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.

Simple and flexible backup solution
I mainly use Cloud Connect as a cloud backup repository Cloud Connect's best features are its simplicity, flexibility, and constantly-expanding options. I've been using Cloud Connect for about four years. We encountered some issues with stability at the beginning, but these were fixed after…

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."
"It is a very stable product and very scalable."
"Site Recovery's most valuable features include its user-friendly console and the ease of migration."
"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 most valuable features of Azure Site Recovery are its ease of use and speed of recovery."
"You can create automation to move workloads and redirect traffic to another region."
"The documentation is good, and it can be integrated with other products."
"The solution is very easy to use."
More Azure Site Recovery pros
"A really good feature is backing up the emails of the company."
"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 deployment is quite simple. Users are generally happy because of the familiarity they have with the features. The solution offers good transparency for the end-user."
"The most valuable feature of Veeam Cloud Connect is the server backups, such as the Microsoft Windows server. Additionally, the updates provide useful enterprise functionality."
"The most valuable feature is that it is very elastic. It's adaptable because it's very flexible and modular."

More Veeam Cloud Connect [EOL] pros
 

Cons

"One area for improvement with Azure is helping customers predict usage more accurately."
"It could include more of a backup and recovery."
"Currently, Azure Site Recovery does not support shared disk options. Moreover, it does not support services like AppConfig or App Services."
"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."
"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."
"In the newest version of Azure Site Recovery, the configuration was a little more complex, so this is an area for improvement."
"The solution needs to improve replication and failover processes. We are still looking for improvements in the cost baseline."
More Azure Site Recovery cons
"The solution could improve the stability."
"The security of encrypted data could be better."
"The flexibility results in more administrative GUI. The GUI needs improvement."
"Basically, a huge amount of storage capacity can be required in certain cases."
"The solution needs to be more scalable. There should be no reason to set up Veeam Cloud Connect and have 10 servers in order to have a cloud backup. The initial setup could be easier."
"The dashboard could be more intuitive."
"The biggest thing that Cloud Connect needs is native deduplication."
"I think Veeam Cloud Connect could be more stable, scalable, and secure. I think better pricing is needed."
More Veeam Cloud Connect [EOL] cons
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Azure Site Recovery is affordable."
"Azure Site Recovery is neither very expensive nor very cheap."
"They have a license to pay."
"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."
"The tool's licensing is yearly and not expensive."
"Azure Site Recovery is a very reasonably priced product."
"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."
"I think that this is one of the most cost-effective solutions."
"The price of the solution is reasonable because of our good standing with the vendor."
"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."
"It's not the cheapest solution on the market but it's reliable, so we find it cost-effective."
"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."
"We are looking into how we can extend the license of this product."
