Managed services with seamless integration and good reliability
Since I have to view everything on the console, the previous application solutions like IBM and Sanavi showed the RPO and RTO status directly. In AWS Disaster Recovery Service, these details are not available, making it difficult to check my replication status. I have to calculate whether my data is replicated to the Adarabad region or not. These features, if available in AWS, would be beneficial.
GiovanniRamirez - PeerSpot reviewer
High-performance backup with fast recovery and robust encryption features
I use Gluster as a backup. In fact, my company has a product called xBackup, which is completely based on Gluster. It includes various tools and technologies for high-performance backup, including solid-state technologies and mechanical disks, among others. Additionally, I use various other…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We have never had any issues with scalability."
"For regular backup and restore solutions, this product is fine."
"The strong points are the stability and scalability of the solution, as well as the convenience of it being cloud-based."
"It provides our disaster recovery solution. It works fine in our tests.​"
"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."
"The setup is pretty straightforward."
"It offers seamless integration with services like ACL, EKS, and Fargate for deploying containerized applications."
"We went from an organization with minimal to no disaster recovery. I was able to spin up the disaster recovery environment with AWS rather quickly and meet business requirements."
"Bareos offers encryption on the fly, compression on the fly, and a robust and stable configuration."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the ease of installation it provides its users."
 

Cons

"I would like to see better support for creating and working with archives."
"I set up a test, deleted the source, and went to fail it back, and it didn't work."
"Since I have to view everything on the console, the previous application solutions like IBM and Sanavi showed the RPO and RTO status directly. In AWS Disaster Recovery Service, these details are not available, making it difficult to check my replication status."
"Definitely there should be better logging. From a customer perspective I would like to see more logs on what is happening. If there is an issue, I would like to know what the problem is. Right now, we have to depend on the support of the vendor to check and let us know, because we don't have access to a lot of logging information."
"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 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."
"Improvement is needed in the graphical web administration tool."
"The virtual machine backup is an area with shortcomings that need improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the price of CloudEndure Disaster Recovery a six out of ten."
"They license us on a per machine basis. We have a set number of machines, which we have licensed.​"
"I feel the product's pricing is a good value. Licensing is pretty straightforward."
"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."
"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."
"We were happy with the pricing that they gave us."
"It has saved us money from having to buy hardware for disaster recovery."
"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."
"I use the open-source version of Bareos, which means I used the free version of the solution."
