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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Synchronous applications are valuable."
"The most valuable feature of Precisely Assure QuickEDD is the backup system."
"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."
"The solution is consistent."
"It has a good and effective user interface."
"We feel the ability to move virtual machines while they are still running to be the most valuable feature."
"VMware SRM's most valuable features are its convenience and its use of stretched clusters."
"Setting up VMs can be done quickly. It is easy to use."
"Combined with RecoverPoint, it offers zero RPO and zero RTO."
"VMware's tech support gets a nine-out-of-ten. They are responsive and get you a useful reply."
 

Cons

"Our administrator found the solution easy to use, but once that administrator left, it felt very overwhelming to the individual who took it over."
"There should be more interactive dashboards."
"The solution is on the expensive side."
"It would be better if we could get more reporting features in VMware SRM."
"VMware Cloud Disaster Recovery could improve by enhancing the network bandwidth from the storage."
"There needs to be better stability during heavy capacity in future releases."
"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."
"The version we are currently using is not the latest and greatest but it has buggy behavior in some browsers."
"SRM may hit some OS issues related to IP changes, but they are usually OS related, especially in the 2008 realm."
"In my opinion, the integration with Peer Persistent Storage could be improved."
 

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."
"VMware SRM is a little bit pricey."
"The price could be lower, in general. My clients pay for an annual license."
"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."

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

"The cost of SRM is a little bit high, especially for smaller companies."
