Azure Site Recovery offers valuable features such as ease of use, seamless data recovery, and scalability. Users appreciate the ability to automate file synchronization and failovers, visibility with robust reporting, and integration with Azure Active Directory. Its snapshot capability, scalability, security, cost-effectiveness, and load balancing are highlighted. Though expensive for smaller enterprises, its affordability compared to maintaining hardware justifies the investment.
- "It’s native to Azure and does exactly what it’s designed to do—recover one site to another without creating all the VMs on that site. This helps reduce costs on the secondary site."
- "You can create automation to move workloads and redirect traffic to another region."
- "We use the tool for business continuity purposes."
Azure Site Recovery needs improvement in error logging, replication, and versioning capabilities, with an emphasis on supporting multiple locations and additional operating systems. Users desire enhanced integration, stability, and real-time threat protection. Pricing strategies should align with market norms, and clearer cost predictions are requested. Support services need to be faster and more professional, while deployment complexity should be reduced. Additional features like security enhancements, automation options, and monitoring tools would increase user satisfaction.
- "we lack a straightforward method to automate the restart of services, which can be quite time-consuming."
- "The solution needs to improve replication and failover processes. We are still looking for improvements in the cost baseline."
- "The product's performance is an area of concern where improvements are required."
