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.

Has enabled seamless VM management and automated failover while support response needs improvement
For support issues, they help with the issue, but it takes a very long time. The reason is that they engage a very initial resource and then escalate to another level, and during these level escalations, our time is wasted. They do not understand the severity of the issue. They go through step-by-step and then go to the upper level. This may be their SOP, but we require instant support and instant resolution of the problem, so here VMware Live Recovery is lacking. They follow their SOP, but they initially engage very low-level personnel who are not able to answer or resolve the issue, so they escalate or take a very long time to resolve the issue. The main issue is to improve the approach of resolving solutions. I may not be able to suggest new features because in these recent months, I have not been very close to it as we are exploring different solutions.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of Precisely Assure QuickEDD is the backup system."
"Synchronous applications are valuable."
"Its initial setup is fine; it is straightforward and easy."
"In terms of recovery, if you have a test job script, you can put it on top of it, you can create custom steps so that it will be more granular, and it will be an easy, one click solution when it comes to the recovery application."
"I would rate the ease of setting up and configuring my recovery plan in VMware SRM, a ten out of ten, with ten being the easiest."
"The stability of SRM has been excellent. It gets a nine-out-of-ten."
"The simplicity of VMware SRM is one of its most important features. SRM console is straightforward to manage. It offers simplicity in monitoring, managing, and deploying, making it a unique value proposition. Additionally, Nutanix solutions also provide a simple GUI, which helps in operational efficiency."
"The AC replication is integrated with a software base, set up cost, and easy installation and configuration."
"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."
"The solution is consistent."
"The technical support provided by VMware is one of the best I have used."
 

Cons

"It is expensive. The cost varies based on your requirements."
"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."
"We are limited to 50 VMs."
"Automatic guest customizations through a GUI is a missing feature. Also the new version of SRM is web-only and is not that stable as the old client version."
"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."
"Additionally, the price is not suitable for startup companies, which necessitates looking for alternative solutions."
"Deployment is fairly straight forward but it still requires a good amount of VMware experience on the architecture side to properly deploy and scale."
"An improvement for SRM would be better interface compatibility with other products."
"The two vCenters have to be synchronized, which sometimes gives us problems because Keberos does not tolerate more than five minutes in time difference."
"The back sites sometimes are very, very complicated."
 

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."
"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."
"Licensing costs explode after 75 VMs."
"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."
"Mature products like VMware SRM often have higher costs."
"We have a standard enterprise license for the solution."
"I would say VMware Cloud Disaster Recovery is very expensive in comparison with other available virtualization solutions."
"I rate the tool's pricing an eight to nine out of ten."
