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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The strong points are the stability and scalability of the solution, as well as the convenience of it being cloud-based."

"What I like about ECR AWS is that it is a fully managed service, so I don't need to manage the underlying infrastructure or worry about scalability in AWS concerning building, maintenance, security, and high availability."

"It provides our disaster recovery solution. It works fine in our tests."

"The setup is pretty straightforward."

"The most valuable aspect of CloudEndure Disaster Recovery is its instant block replication feature. This allows us to perform live block verification and eliminates the need to concern ourselves with recovery point objectives. This capability is particularly advantageous for critical workloads."

"For regular backup and restore solutions, this product is fine."

"Since it is a managed service, I reduce my time to manage infrastructure and applications."

"We have never had any issues with scalability."

More AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery pros

"The solution works well for very large organizations. It can scale quite well."

"Disaster Recovery Services is stable."

"The initial setup is very easy and user-friendly."

Cons

"The failback could be improved. It should be more intuitive."

"The solution's network setup and a lot of the control tower setup could be improved."

"An improved AWS pricing model is needed."

"I set up a test, deleted the source, and went to fail it back, and it didn't work."

"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."

"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."

More AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery cons

"Disaster Recovery Services could provide better value for money."

"The infrastructure level of IBM's recovery systems could be improved."

"Stability could always be better."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It has saved us money from having to buy hardware for disaster recovery."

"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."

"CloudEndure Disaster Recovery is charging clients $20 to do the DR backups. It is an expensive solution."

"We were happy with the pricing that they gave us."

"I feel the product's pricing is a good value. Licensing is pretty straightforward."

"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."

More AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery pricing and cost advice

"The pricing of the solution is based on the scale of the project or business. It's based on the server amount and the amount of data being stored. For our client, based on the amount of data they have, it may be around $20,000 USD. It could get much more expensive on the customer side."

"Disaster Recovery Services is expensive."
