VMware Live Recovery requires enhancements in database integration, deployment as a virtual appliance, setup documentation, stability, speed, and storage integration. Scalability, reporting, and syncing capabilities need improvements. Automation, user interface simplicity, and integration with non-VMware systems are lacking. It faces challenges with pricing, technical support, licensing, and AI capabilities. There are issues with prioritization, resource allocation, and cross-platform integration. Bandwidth limitations and the need for more robust disaster recovery testing tools are also identified.
- "For support issues, they help with the issue, but it takes a very long time."
- "The licensing area needs improvement as the cost per virtual machine is high. If they offered discounts or minimized their prices, it would be more beneficial."
- "For cloud-based solutions, the cost seems quite pricey, so we stick to on-premises deployment."
