Has good stability but does not have multi-tenant capabilities

Overall the product is really good. Unfortunately, it just didn't quite fit our needs The solution does not have multi-tenant capabilities. It's one of the reasons that we ultimately decided to move away from the solution. The solution lacks cloud usability. If it did, it would be much better for…

Offers simplified management and automated recovery process, which reduces the need for manual intervention during a disaster

Automated recovery is one good feature, SRM also offers simplified management. It has a centralized interface for configuring, testing, and executing disaster recovery plans across multiple sites. This means management from a single point, even for many sites. Recovery plans can be different for customers. So, another important feature is the policy-based protection within SRM. Recovery plans can be customized based on business requirements, including Recovery Point Objectives (RPO) and Recovery Time Objectives (RTO). These objectives might differ between industries – healthcare might need a more aggressive RPO, for instance. Additionally, SRM offers failback capabilities and reporting features for compliance.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"One of the standout features of Dell RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines is its real-time data protection capability."

"The most valuable feature is that it is journal-based and you don't have to replicate a lot of data."

"The solution is quite stable. We haven't experienced any kind of bug or glitch. We haven't experienced crashes."

"The installation is straightforward if the version you have is compatible with your infrastructure."

"It is a point-in-time restore, which is quite handy."

"The workload can be moved directly if the disaster site is the main site."

"The most valuable features are the data center recovery administration and the time of recovery."

"The product's initial setup phase was quite easy to install."

More Dell RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines pros

"I like how VMware SRM is able to automate and orchestrate disaster recovery."

"The most valuable features are the disaster recovery and testing."

"SRM's best feature is automation."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is the automatic recovery of the virtual machine if it goes down."

"VMware SRM's most valuable features are its convenience and its use of stretched clusters."

"The most valuable feature is the automation, where you press a button and everything fails over seamlessly."

"VMware SRM is a very nice tool for disaster recovery for virtual environments."

"VMware's tech support gets a nine-out-of-ten. They are responsive and get you a useful reply."

More VMware Live Recovery pros

Cons

"The solution's technical team has enough skills, but the process can get complicated with the time you get connected with the L3 support."

"I would like to see integration with EMC NetWorker in the next release."

"The configuration process seems a bit challenging, and the installation takes a bit longer than expected."

"In the next release of this software, I would like to see options that help to decrease the bandwidth required, such as compressing the data."

"It would be good to have a critical application on the customer side."

"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."

More Dell RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines cons

"The product's dashboard is an area of concern where improvements are required."

"It would be better if we could get more reporting features in VMware SRM."

"VMware SRM's platform agnostics should support on-cloud usage as well."

"One thing which is lacking from the SRM is reporting."

"If you have a failover case, you need to work on it manually. It would be helpful if this could be automated. It would simplify things."

"The product's stability could be better."

"The solution must provide better integration with third-party vendors."

"The solution currently has a five-minute RPO, meaning if the VM goes down we can lose up to five minutes of data which is a big deal when it relates to database replication."

More VMware Live Recovery cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"The tool is expensive. If one means cheaply priced and ten means expensive, I rate the tool's price as a seven."

"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."

"This is an expensive product."

"This is not a very cheap solution and compared to others, it is expensive."

"Mature products like VMware SRM often have higher costs."

"The price could be lower, in general. My clients pay for an annual license."

"VMware SRM is an expensive solution, and users need to pay extra costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."

"VMware SRM is a little bit pricey."

"I rate the tool's pricing an eight to nine out of ten."

"Compare to hardware-based replication, I think software based replication is best and cheap."

"I would say VMware Cloud Disaster Recovery is very expensive in comparison with other available virtualization solutions."

"VMware SRM is quite expensive."
