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.

A reliable and scalable solution that can be used to ensure workloads are replicated when needed
A couple of years back, our data center was located in Fort Lauderdale, known as Hurricane Alley. We would swing our workloads or production data center into our Dallas data center from July the first until the whole hurricane season. Once hurricane season was done, we would swing everything back to South Florida on November the first. Currently, we have a state-of-the-art data center in Ashburn, Virginia. Since it is a location with no hurricanes, we've got less movement from a failing-over perspective. From a compliance perspective, we need to show our compliance partners that we can cut over a data center should we need to and run out of a different data center somewhere else. This is necessary for compliance, insurance, and HIPAA compliance.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Azure Site Recovery is an easy-to-use and fairly stable solution for disaster recovery."
"Our primary use case is for disaster recovery and business continuity and disaster recovery (BCDR)."
"They're moving a lot of their workload to cloud and aiming for a seamlessly integrated product."
"What I like best about Azure Site Recovery is that it's easier to use because my organization already has Azure as an Active Directory solution."
"What I love about Azure Site Recovery is its simplicity for basic configurations."
"We use the tool for business continuity purposes."
"The solution is very easy to use."
"Site Recovery's most valuable features include its user-friendly console and the ease of migration."
More Azure Site Recovery pros
"The product is very simple and very easy to use."
"The most valuable feature of Nutanix Disaster Recovery is the local storage solution, which significantly boosts performance, especially when transitioning from traditional architecture."
"Nutanix Disaster Recovery needs to have a feature that can automate manual tasks."
"Nutanix Disaster Recovery can be used for snapshots, backup, and disaster recovery."
"The most valuable feature of Nutanix Disaster Recovery is the reliability and scalability of being able to swing our workloads across the country."
 

Cons

"Azure Site Recovery's deployment is complex. There are a lot of bugs, and it needs to improve stability."
"One area for improvement with Azure is helping customers predict usage more accurately."
"It could include more of a backup and recovery."
"The primary area for improvement in Azure Site Recovery is its pricing."
"The support team took a lot of time to respond and was not very professional."
"Could have more integration with other platforms."
"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."
"Site Recovery's scalability could be improved."
More Azure Site Recovery cons
"The solution's bandwidth utilization can be improved further."
"Nutanix Disaster Recovery needs to have a feature that can automate manual tasks."
"The solution should include a standard license for the object level and file level."
"The product must allow users to create a production domain on the main site in one hypervisor and a backup site on another."
"The dashboard could be a bit refreshed, and some configuration parts could be less confusing."
 

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."
"Azure Site Recovery is neither very expensive nor very cheap."
"Azure Site Recovery is a very reasonably priced product."
"The tool's licensing is yearly and not expensive."
"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."
"They have a license to pay."
"Azure Site Recovery is affordable."
"Nutanix Disaster Recovery is a cheap solution."
"The solution’s pricing is good."
