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.

Seamlessly integrated backup solution with clear UI and affordable pricing
We wanted a backup on an external provider of our old code repository and we chose this solution Thanks to the solution, we have more control for ISO 27001, which is equivalent to SOC 2 in America. It is required for all security compliance. The seamless integration, the clear and easy-to-use…

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 obviously a time-saving solution, and I can write PowerShell scripts to automate failover on or off processes."
"Azure Site Recovery helps to save costs."
"Azure Site Recovery's automated file synchronization was a game-changer in managing legacy systems."
"The solution is secure, reliable, and scalable."
"Site Recovery's most valuable features include its user-friendly console and the ease of migration."
"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."
"Despite the cost concerns and downtime management, I would still recommend Azure Site Recovery."
"Provides generally good performance, from protection to production to failover to data recovery."
"The seamless integration, the clear and easy-to-use UI, and the pricing, which is fairly cheap, are all valuable aspects of the product."
 

Cons

"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."
"Azure Site Recovery does not support shared disk options."
"One area for improvement with Azure is helping customers predict usage more accurately."
"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."
"we lack a straightforward method to automate the restart of services, which can be quite time-consuming."
"Currently, Azure Site Recovery does not support shared disk options. Moreover, it does not support services like AppConfig or App Services."
"The primary area for improvement in Azure Site Recovery is its pricing."
"We need to be able to move the virtual servers and not build and then port them across. They need to improve the hypervisor."
"They force you to use the web UI or SaaS platform to restore the backup."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Azure Site Recovery is affordable."
"The tool's licensing is yearly and not expensive."
"Azure Site Recovery is a very reasonably priced product."
"They have a license to pay."
"I'm not sure about the Azure Site Recovery pricing, but my organization gets monthly bills from providers."
"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 neither very expensive nor very cheap."
