Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It's on the cheaper side and not too expensive for users.""The solution is dependent on the network bandwidth. For example, if they have a bandwidth of 10Mbps the solution will run a little heavier. If the bandwidth is good the solution runs well.""It provides our disaster recovery solution. It works fine in our tests.​""The most valuable aspect of CloudEndure Disaster Recovery is its instant block replication feature. This allows us to perform live block verification and eliminates the need to concern ourselves with recovery point objectives. This capability is particularly advantageous for critical workloads.""​The initial setup is really straightforward.""For regular backup and restore solutions, this product is fine.""The initial setup is pretty straightforward, it's not complex.""Technical support has been very good. They usually respond quickly to our requests.​"

"The initial setup is easy depending on the environment you are working with.""We feel the ability to move virtual machines while they are still running to be the most valuable feature.""Setting up VMs can be done quickly. It is easy to use.""The most valuable features are the backup and disaster recovery services.""Technical support is very proactive and helpful."

Cons
"I would like to see better support for creating and working with archives.""The only thing I would like to see is, they don't have a formal ticketing system. There is no way I can go back and see what questions we had six months back, what issues we had, and how they were resolved.""I have not seen any areas that need improvement at this time.""The failback could be improved. It should be more intuitive.""Sometimes a server will get a bit behind. ​""Definitely there should be better logging. From a customer perspective I would like to see more logs on what is happening. If there is an issue, I would like to know what the problem is. Right now, we have to depend on the support of the vendor to check and let us know, because we don't have access to a lot of logging information.""I set up a test, deleted the source, and went to fail it back, and it didn't work.""The user interface, customer support, and the recovery time for the current customer query could use improvement."

More AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery Cons →

"The improvements should be as per customer requirements.""VMware Cloud Disaster Recovery could improve by enhancing the network bandwidth from the storage.""The automation should be simplified or improved.""It would be ideal if they added advanced analytics or AI to the solution.""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."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "We were happy with the pricing that they gave us."

  • "I feel the product's pricing is a good value. Licensing is pretty straightforward."
  • "The pricing is better now that they had come out with the Tier 2 which replicates a little less often. In comparison to what I would have been spending with any other type of solution, the pricing is fair."

  • "It has saved us money from having to buy hardware for disaster recovery."
  • "CloudEndure Disaster Recovery is charging clients $20 to do the DR backups. It is an expensive solution."
  • "I rate the price of CloudEndure Disaster Recovery a six out of ten."
  • More AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery Pricing and Cost Advice →

    Overview

    AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery (AWS DRS) minimizes downtime and data loss with fast, reliable recovery of on-premises and cloud-based applications using affordable storage, minimal compute, and point-in-time recovery.

    Set up AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery on your source servers to initiate secure data replication. Your data is replicated to a staging area subnet in your AWS account, in the AWS Region you select. The staging area design reduces costs by using affordable storage and minimal compute resources to maintain ongoing replication. You can perform non-disruptive tests to confirm that implementation is complete. During normal operation, maintain readiness by monitoring replication and periodically performing non-disruptive recovery and failback drills. If you need to recover applications, you can launch recovery instances on AWS within minutes, using the most up-to-date server state or a previous point in time. After your applications are running on AWS, you can choose to keep them there, or you can initiate data replication back to your primary site when the issue is resolved. You can fail back to your primary site whenever you’re ready.

    Datrium Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) with VMware Cloud on AWS is transforming DR with its cloud-native design, built-in backup, instant RTO, and on-demand model. It’s liberating IT from the complexity of legacy DR approaches and standalone backup tools.
