Integration with other services has improved migration efficiency
A valuable feature is the schema conversion tool, which allows me to migrate databases, for example, from Oracle to Postgres. The service is fully managed by AWS, which makes it better to use the migration services. It is beneficial to enable phased migration, and the service offers easy integration with other AWS services. The integration of AWS Application Migration Service with AWS makes it a good tool for working with AWS services.

Seamless data protection and IP address management streamline server failover
I recommend Dell RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines. I work for a financial institution, and it does what we need it to do. I would rate the product eight out of ten. For improvement, I suggest better orchestration management for easier failovers. I would rate the overall solution an 8 out of 10.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The CloudEndure feature is most valuable because it is user friendly and very simple."
"The product is reasonably priced."
"AWS Application Migration Service allows us to perform migrations with minimal downtime, which is crucial for our operations."
"The most valuable feature is the live, block-to-block replication."
"Live Migration's best feature is that it's free."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten...Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten...I rate the solution's support a ten out of ten."
"I rate AWS Application Migration Service a nine out of ten overall."
"The speed and the footprint the solution uses regarding storage are great."
"Point-in-time recovery and ease of deployment are valuable."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to change IP addresses when failing a server over."
"The product's initial setup phase was quite easy to install."
"One of the standout features of Dell RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines is its real-time data protection capability."
"The generalization of the journals allows us to go back in time and choose the snapshot suitable for us. We can grab it as needed."
"The solution is quite stable. We haven't experienced any kind of bug or glitch. We haven't experienced crashes."
"Continuous replication with lower RTO and RPO is the most innovative feature. Its tight integration with VMware for VMware VMs is also valuable."
 

Cons

"We would like to have a disaster recovery feature included in this solution."
"Live Migration has some issues with target setups."
"The schema conversion is not included in the document management services itself. Complex formations require additional steps."
"There are some features in the Migration Factory that could be integrated directly into AWS Application Migration Service."
"I do not see any improvements required for the CloudEndure."
"One drawback to using CloudEndure is that the default is to give one small, lightweight server, which is created in the cloud."
"I think it is important to have more logs, and more details would be great because we have just logged on the client's side, but there weren't many details on the cloud."
"The solution could improve by being more easier to use. However, once you have used it for a while it becomes easier. Additionally, there could be better support and compatibility with management by having a command-line interface. This would be beneficial for the customers."
"I would like to have the HTML 5 interface working because it is currently not functioning with the VMware environment."
"It can have better integration. It would be good if, in addition to VMware VM, it can also support other hypervisors. I also want to see support for Oracle databases. As of now, it supports only SQL and Exchange. It would be good to also support other databases."
"It should have features for recovering a group of virtual machines and full-scale security. For recovering all the VMs at once, they don't have a GUI option, and we have to use the command line."
"In some cases, the response times could improve, but we haven't had issues with their support."
"Maybe integration with Kubernetes for OpenShift would be helpful."
"Although we can change the IP address, it would be good to have some other sort of orchestration to make life easier to manage when we failover."
"The biggest challenge we faced was attempting replication between two different kinds of storage systems, like IBM on one side and Dell EMC storage systems on the other, before opting for VPLEX."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"For me, the price of the tool is cheap and very good. It is flexible pricing since you pay just for what you use."
"Live Migration's price is good."
"The tool is expensive. If one means cheaply priced and ten means expensive, I rate the tool's price as a seven."
"This is not a very cheap solution and compared to others, it is expensive."
"Pricing-wise, it is pretty much fair for any customer who only has a VMware environment. Licensing is based on the number of VMs that you want to protect at any given point in time. Licensing is not based on size."
"This is an expensive product."
"There is a license required for this solution and the pricing depends on how many virtual machines you have."
"It was a part of a backup solution. So, it was free for us."
