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.

A scalable solution with Veeam and Vertias alliance

I am impressed with the tool's technical alliance with Veeam and Veritas. The product needs to improve performance while scaling out. It also needs to improve stability. I have been using the product since seven years. I would rate the product's stability a nine out of ten. I would rate the…

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."

"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."

"Customer service is quite helpful."

"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."

"We have never had any issues with scalability."

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

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

"Technical support has been very good. They usually respond quickly to our requests."

More AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery pros

"I am impressed with the tool's technical alliance with Veeam and Veritas."

"While the challenges posed by the difficulties were significant, they prompted the replacement of problematic components, resulting in the resolution of issues. Importantly, there were no substantial ongoing concerns. Regarding the overall performance, it has been consistently excellent."

Cons

"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."

"An improved AWS pricing model is needed."

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

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

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

"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."

More AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery cons

"The product needs to improve performance while scaling out. It also needs to improve stability."

"Perhaps the most notable area for enhancement lies in the web interface for management. The current limitations in LDAP editing capabilities are not addressed in the UI, and I haven't observed any recent updates. It's possible that the new version of the DXI service incorporates improvements in the GUI, but I cannot confirm. While there is room for improvement in the current GUI, it remains a relatively minor issue. Overall, the system is comprehensive, covering aspects such as reports on latency and networking, leaving little room for additional enhancements in those areas."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"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."

"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."

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

"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."

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

More AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery pricing and cost advice

"I do not oversee this aspect, as pricing is contingent on factors such as volume, technical specifications, and the desired features. Consequently, I lack information on the pricing details and structure."
