Cons
"The support team took a lot of time to respond and was not very professional.""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 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.""I conveyed the feedback to the agent, suggesting an increase in the agent count in our VNS in the USA. I also addressed notification concerns, as some issues didn't trigger alerts during a recent call.""I would like to see more security features.""The primary area for improvement in Azure Site Recovery is its pricing.""It could include more of a backup and recovery.""Azure Site Recovery's deployment is complex. There are a lot of bugs, and it needs to improve stability."

More Azure Site Recovery Cons →

"VMware Cloud Disaster Recovery could improve by enhancing the network bandwidth from the storage.""When starting up the replication and converting it to the virtual machine I had some problems. I had to start the process again and that is inconvenient.""The improvements should be as per customer requirements.""The automation should be simplified or improved.""It would be ideal if they added advanced analytics or AI to the solution."
