"The most useful thing is that it provides a snapshot of your environment in about 15 minutes. It is stable, and it always works. It is also scalable and easy to set up."
"The most valuable feature is the visibility of what is happening with our business as well as the good reporting and dashboards."
"It is easy to implement for my clients."
"This SRM solution can improve your footprint within a data center."
"SRM's best feature is automation."
"The product functionality is fairly high-quality."
"In terms of recovery, if you have a test job script, you can put it on top of it. You can create custom steps so that it will be more granular. It will be an easy, one click solution when it comes to the recovery application."
"Our systems fail over using SRM. So, we do a big bang DR, which is biannual, and we fail over our fairly massive Epic electronic health record (EHR) and our core applications. It takes us about 30 minutes to fail over using SRM, which is pretty good. In most hospitals that have Epic installed, Epic does the audit to make sure that we can fail over if something were to happen. Normally, sites will have a DR solution specific to the EHR, but right now, our pain point is the third-party tier-one clinical applications."
"The UI is very user-friendly and testing is easy."
"The installation and initial setup are straightforward."
"The pricing predictability and clarity around the final cost of the plan of this solution could be improved."
"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."
"We've had configuration issues on occasion. We start to fail over, and then we have to call it off because the configuration is not right, or the data stores aren't configured correctly in the secondary data center. Oftentimes, it is just the experience level of the team, and we have to bring in the vendor to help and validate our configuration."
"Sometimes it can cause a bit of downtime during switchovers."
"The price, in general, could be lower."
"The version we are currently using is not the latest and greatest but it has buggy behavior in some browsers."
"Technical support needs improvement, they are not very responsive."
"It would be good if this solution could integrate configuration management software such as Chef Infra."
"The biggest issue for us is that this product does not have any demo for customers."
"There needs to be better stability during heavy capacity in future releases."
