Trustworthy and provides good availability
Our administrator found the solution easy to use, but once that administrator left, it felt very overwhelming to the individual who took it over. It could be more of a knowledge transfer situation that didn't happen, but we didn't know if it was easy to use. Precisely Assure QuickEDD is deployed on the cloud in our organization. The implementation of QLED helped us with our recovery time objective and was a seamless transition. In order to utilize the product to its fullest potential, users should be knowledgeable of what it offers. They should also form a relationship with the person who is their representative. Overall, I rate the solution an eight or nine out of ten.

Pros

"Synchronous applications are valuable."
"The most valuable feature of Precisely Assure QuickEDD is the backup system."

"The replication is the solution's most valuable feature. If we have some issues on the VM in the main site we can migrate it to another site automatically."
"I give VMware Live Recovery a rating of ten out of ten."
"My impression is that the initial setup process is relatively straightforward."
"The solution helps to improve business continuity processes. Its automatic failover and failback policies have been wonderful."
"It's easy to use and the interface is quite simple."
"The installation and initial setup are straightforward."
"It eliminates the need for complex compliance requirements, making it a highly effective solution."
 

Cons

"There should be more interactive dashboards."
"Our administrator found the solution easy to use, but once that administrator left, it felt very overwhelming to the individual who took it over."
"The back sites sometimes are very, very complicated."
"The user experience could be more friendly."
"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."
"In general, the drawbacks of VMware SRM, where improvements can be made, stem from the fact that it is an expensive and complex product."
"The solution is on the expensive side."
"SRM has to be installed on two separate data centers, so both have to be coordinated very well, which becomes complicated when configuring the software for disaster recovery."
"Currently, there is a limitation of consolidating only 15 sites per SRM."
"What I think can be improved is the data replication aspect."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is expensive. The cost varies based on your requirements. If you want to manage it, there is an extra cost."
"It is an expensive platform. I rate the pricing an eight out of ten."
"The cost of SRM is a little bit high, especially for smaller companies."
"The cost of SRM is on par with market rates."
"VMware SRM is expensive when compared to Veeam and makes Veeam look cheaper. For support, some additional payments need to be made over the licensing costs of the solution."
"The licensing costs are increasing."
"The level of licensing required for this solution is dependent on the server instances in use."
"We have a standard enterprise license for the solution."
"After Broadcom acquired the solution, the licensing cost increased drastically"
