SuhailAkhtar - PeerSpot reviewer
Integration Architect at App In Snap (Pvt) Ltd
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.

Seamlessly integrated backup solution with clear UI and affordable pricing
We wanted a backup on an external provider of our old code repository and we chose this solution Thanks to the solution, we have more control for ISO 27001, which is equivalent to SOC 2 in America. It is required for all security compliance. The seamless integration, the clear and easy-to-use…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We had not achieved our RTO before the SRM implementation, but now we have achieved our RTO for DR drill."
"My advice to people considering this solution is that they should just go ahead and get it, as I think that is the best virtualization solution out there."
"The primary valuable feature is the ability to have automated DR; they have vMotion, which ensures that any changes on the main production site reflect on the application layer on the DR site, which is a very important tool."
"VMware's tech support gets a nine-out-of-ten. They are responsive and get you a useful reply."
"The UI is very user-friendly and testing is easy, it doesn't require a lot of resources or a SAN team to enable testing, a single person can do it and get results."
"Organisations that have implemented SRM in my experience have confidence that their mission critical systems will be recovered within the given SLA in the event of a planned or unplanned availability event."
"Fast recovery time Ease of use"
"Setting up VMs can be done quickly. It is easy to use."
"The seamless integration, the clear and easy-to-use UI, and the pricing, which is fairly cheap, are all valuable aspects of the product."
 

Cons

"One thing which is lacking from the SRM is reporting."
"Customer Service: 3/10, VMware support was not really proficient in the product, as most of the time we would give them the solution."
"An improvement for SRM would be better interface compatibility with other products."
"It would be better if we could get more reporting features in VMware SRM."
"In my view, if VMware comes up with an appliance-based solution like vCenter Server (which was also Windows-based), it will be much easier for deployment. I"
"We have had an issue when some customers have traditional designs and sites. For example, on one another site, they are using hyper-converged, using VMware, or Nutanix. We have a problem with the synchronization between the storage for site to site. This is the main issue. We are adding some other tools to support the synchronization to allow the movement of the workload from site to site easily."
"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."
"Technical support can take some time to respond. We'd like a faster response."
"They force you to use the web UI or SaaS platform to restore the backup."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost of SRM is on par with market rates."
"I rate the solution's pricing a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is the lowest and ten is the most expensive."
"The licensing costs are increasing."
"The licensing costs for the product are perpetual in nature. A person needs to buy the license only once there is a need to buy support on a yearly basis. The licensing cost for VMware SRM is expensive."
"We pay a yearly licensing fee for VMware SRM, which is not very expensive."
"SRM is reasonably priced for the functionality it provides."
"The software is expensive. There is a one-time cost involved in purchasing the license."
"We have a standard enterprise license for the solution."

VMware SRM vs. Veeam vs. Zerto
Disaster recovery planning is something that seems challenging for all businesses. Virtualization in addition to its operational flexibility, and cost reduction benefits, has helped companies improve their DR posture. Virtualization has made it easier to move machines from production to…
