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:

"The setup is pretty straightforward."

More AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery pros

"The most valuable feature for me is the policy management capabilities"

Cons

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

"Sometimes a server will get a bit behind. "

"I would like to see better support for creating and working with archives."

"The UI could be a little sleeker."

"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."

"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."

"In its current state, ECL integrates with CloudWatch for basic logging and monitoring, yet improvements could include more detailed logs for specific actions, like when I perform actions such as push or pull."

More AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery cons

"I would like to see more integration with different platforms."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"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."

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

"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."

"I rate the price of CloudEndure Disaster Recovery a six out of ten."

"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."
