Featured Reviews

Mike Douthitt - PeerSpot reviewer
Useful for restoration purposes that ensures that the users get to save a lot of time
Speaking about how Azure Site Recovery has facilitated the migration of on-premises workloads to the Azure Cloud, I would say that my company is still in the testing phase, and we also use Veeam. My company is trying to find the best spot for recovery, disaster recovery, and migrations. Veeam plays a big part in what my company does in terms of backup and recovery, so we are just trying to figure out how a Microsoft tool will fit into our environment. I haven't faced any challenges using the product. I recommended the solution to those who plan to use it. I rate the overall tool a ten out of ten.
Harry Vining - PeerSpot reviewer
The overall ease of use and ease of management using the dashboard is excellent
I can't really think of anything that really needs to be improved from my perspective, because I only use the backup. Maybe someone who is using something else might have a different opinion on that. But for the online backup and recovery tool, I'm not going to say there's anything that needs improvement. They can always improve stuff. But from the top of my head, I can't think of anything. It does what it needs to do. That's it. It doesn't need to do anything more than what it does and nothing less than what it's doing. The Infrascale dashboard when it comes to centralized deployment and configuration is excellent. I have no problems with the solution. They could always make it better. They can always make the GUI a little bit nicer, the interface level a bit better. There's always room for improvement, but there's nothing on the top of my head that's saying, "Hey, this is what needs to be fixed." But, the programmers are probably working on their own things. So, there's always room for improvement.
