Stable server migration service
The documentation and videos could be improved, especially in the area of migration. Live videos would be helpful. There are very limited videos available. Moreover, the initial setup is another area of improvement. It was really difficult for us to setup. There were some difficulties with firewalls on our side.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is dependent on the network bandwidth. For example, if they have a bandwidth of 10Mbps the solution will run a little heavier. If the bandwidth is good the solution runs well."
"AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery is a robust and reliable solution for disaster recovery needs."
"CloudEndure Disaster Recovery is a fairly stable solution."
"The setup is pretty straightforward."
"Technical support has been very good. They usually respond quickly to our requests.​"
"It's on the cheaper side and not too expensive for users."
"We have never had any issues with scalability."
"​The initial setup is really straightforward."
"The solution is easy to use."
"Mature, resilient, and seamless database and server migration solution that's stable and scalable."
"The tool is automatic and makes migration easy."
"The solution's setup phase was straightforward."
 

Cons

"The bandwidth is a constant upload communication to the AWS DR environment, so if you do not have the proper bandwidth, it will definitely eat up your internet line."
"The only thing I would like to see is, they don't have a formal ticketing system. There is no way I can go back and see what questions we had six months back, what issues we had, and how they were resolved."
"The failback could be improved. It should be more intuitive."
"The user interface, customer support, and the recovery time for the current customer query could use improvement."
"The solution's network setup and a lot of the control tower setup could be improved."
"I have not seen any areas that need improvement at this time."
"The UI could be a little sleeker."
"The cost of AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery is seen as expensive."
"The documentation and videos could be improved, especially in the area of migration. Live videos would be helpful. There are very limited videos available."
"There is no monitoring support available in the solution."
"The database schema conversion could be made more seamless for this solution. Widening the scope of features for database migration will also help."
"The product's cloud security could be improved. It also needs to improve its stability."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"CloudEndure Disaster Recovery is charging clients $20 to do the DR backups. It is an expensive solution."
"I feel the product's pricing is a good value. Licensing is pretty straightforward."
"We were happy with the pricing that they gave us."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten."
"The pricing is better now that they had come out with the Tier 2 which replicates a little less often. In comparison to what I would have been spending with any other type of solution, the pricing is fair."
"They license us on a per machine basis. We have a set number of machines, which we have licensed.​"
"Where the price adds up, there are CloudEndure licenses, then there is the AWS environment, and finally, there is the AWS storage, so cumulatively, it adds up."
"I rate the price of CloudEndure Disaster Recovery a six out of ten."
"There is no need to pay for any licensing since it is an open-source tool."
