We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Azure Site Recovery allows my company to save around 30 percent of the time on every VM that we need to back up and restore.""The most valuable feature is the visibility of what is happening with our business as well as the good reporting and dashboards.""They're moving a lot of their workload to cloud and aiming for a seamlessly integrated product.""Azure Site Recovery helps to save costs.""The solution is secure, reliable, and scalable.""It is a very stable product and very scalable.""The solution is very easy to use.""Provides generally good performance, from protection to production to failover to data recovery."

"It's very stable.""It helped us reduce the number of servers that are required for a stable operation.""It is a scalable solution.""The cloud integration is a massive win for us, giving us a single backup service for all of our on-premise and cloud systems.""The solution provides us with a single platform to move, manage, and recover our data across on-premise locations. Some of the guys have been using it to move a virtual machine from VMware to the Microsoft solution, Hyper-V. They back it up and then they restore to the different virtual machine provider, and that works great.""There's no impact on the endpoint. It runs in the background and it's something that you install and then forget about.""Commvault software is a single platform where you can enable whatever you want to use, like endpoint protection. You can enable those licenses on a single platform screen. This is where I see the value ad. This is a single management tool.""It is much more scalable and flexible than everything else in the market."

Cons
"It is for site-to-site replication. When something goes wrong on your site, you only get 15 minutes before it also goes wrong on your replicated site. There should be some way to be able to say that we want to restore it, but we want to restore it to the version from yesterday. It should support versioning. I would also like to see real-time scanning for advanced threat protection, more straightforward billing, and quicker turnaround on the tech support.""The support team took a lot of time to respond and was not very professional.""I would like to see more security features.""Could have more integration with other platforms.""The immutable backup could be better.""Site Recovery's scalability could be improved.""One area for improvement with Azure is helping customers predict usage more accurately.""The pricing predictability and clarity around the final cost of the plan of this solution could be improved."

More Azure Site Recovery Cons →

"The product could be more convenient in terms of working with different solutions and having more integration between the different products in the market.""They need to improve when it comes to large, video file archiving. They're good, but they have not met my expectations as a customer in this area.""I think the one thing that could be improved is the customer experience. The interface should be more user friendly.""The solution requires constant attention. Commvault is very complex. We are constantly making adjustments and working through hotfixes, updates, and issues.""We had some small issues with the reporting, but that was just a matter of fine-tuning the kinds of messages we receive by email. It was a little overwhelming in the initial configuration. So we reviewed our configuration with our partner and customized the reports so that we only get the important reports. I haven't seen any big issues or things that the solution is missing.""The solution's breadth and depth of cloud support are good, but could be better. Some cloud features that are common-sense, especially on AWS, are not completely integrated yet in the product. They are a work-in-progress.""I would like them to keep working on the new web interface to migrate out of the old interface because the old interface is a bit complex. It was driving customers away because of the complexity. If they migrate everything (100 percent of the features), this would make the product be perfect.""It takes a lot of steps to implement backups. We have to do a lot of planning to make the solution work properly. It takes some time to create every policy. It's an easy task, but there are many steps. It's not as easy as using Veeam."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "It should have more straightforward billing. The billing was what got funky. It was really cheap. We would pay based on the usage. We paid around $225 a month for site-to-site replication."
  • "I'm not sure about the Azure Site Recovery pricing, but my organization gets monthly bills from providers."
  • "The tool's licensing is yearly and not expensive."
  • "Azure Site Recovery is neither very expensive nor very cheap."
  • "They have a license to pay."
  • "Azure Site Recovery is affordable."
  • "Azure Site Recovery is a very reasonably priced product."
  • "The tool is expensive. What is expensive to me might not be expensive to you. As I mentioned, we seek ways to reduce our costs. If the price goes down, that would be great. I rate the tool's pricing a six out of ten."

  • "If budget allows using the per socket license and not the agent based with per GB counter for Dedup is the way to go."
  • "There is now a subscription based licence option that, depending on your environment, could offer a more efficient method to licence the solution if you are OPEX cost driven rather than CAPEX."
  • "New licensing is easy and affordable."
  • "Licensing could be better explained. Sometimes, it's unclear what features are available in different licensing models."
  • "Compared to other competitors and vendors the pricing is fair."
  • "In my experience, compared to solutions like Veritas and Veeam, while they do have their technical pluses and minuses, Commvault can save you on average forty percent initially, and then twenty to twenty-five percent annually."
  • "The price could perhaps be lower as well."
  • "Our cost is around $20,000 per month. The previous year, it was around $30,000 per month. It now costs less because Commvault changed the licensing type for providers."
