The time-saving aspects allow us to write PowerShell scripts to automate failover processes

First of all, we initially faced a challenge as Azure Site Recovery was not supporting shared disk options on SQL clusters with VMs, which are important for a Windows cluster mode. Additionally, the setup is quite easy, only requiring the creation of a vault. Its time-saving aspects allow us to write PowerShell scripts to automate failover processes.

A decently stable tool that ensures a high return on investment for its users

Precisely Assure MIMIX has improved our organization's disaster recovery efforts since my company has multiple LPARs. Precisely Assure MIMIX has around 45 LPARs for the database recovery, and I have one site-to-site replication for one of the servers in our environment, which is really good. The failover process of Precisely Assure MIMIX has enhanced our company's business continuity planning, considering that we have been testing the failover test area once a year and found out that the area revolving around recovery is good. When I was having a discussion on one of the online forums meant for Precisely Assure MIMIX around five years ago, which was even before the LAKEVIEW stuff was introduced by Precisely. Through the online forum, the team of Precisely Assure MIMIX helped my company deal with the area related to ServiceNow integration. I have never faced a scenario where Precisely Assure MIMIX prevented data loss during an unexpected outage in our company. I would ask those who plan to use the product to evaluate their own environment before purchasing Precisely Assure MIMIX. I rate the overall tool a nine out of ten.

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's automated file synchronization was a game-changer in managing legacy systems."

"You can create automation to move workloads and redirect traffic to another region."

"What I love about Azure Site Recovery is its simplicity for basic configurations."

"Our primary use case is for disaster recovery and business continuity and disaster recovery (BCDR)."

"The documentation is good, and it can be integrated with other products."

"They're moving a lot of their workload to cloud and aiming for a seamlessly integrated product."

"The most useful thing is that it provides a snapshot of your environment in about 15 minutes. It is stable, and it always works. It is also scalable and easy to set up."

"The solution is secure, reliable, and scalable."

More Azure Site Recovery pros

"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward and simple."

"Database replication is most valuable. It is multi-platform, so it can replicate from a variety of different database types to a variety of different database types."

Cons

"The primary area for improvement in Azure Site Recovery is its pricing."

"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."

"Currently, Azure Site Recovery does not support shared disk options. Moreover, it does not support services like AppConfig or App Services."

"The immutable backup could be better."

"The pricing predictability and clarity around the final cost of the plan of this solution could be improved."

"Could have more integration with other platforms."

"In the newest version of Azure Site Recovery, the configuration was a little more complex, so this is an area for improvement."

"The support team took a lot of time to respond and was not very professional."

More Azure Site Recovery cons

"It does data manipulation language (DML) replication, but it does not do data definition language (DDL) replication. In my opinion, it is a disadvantage. It would be nicer if it was able to do both DML and DDL. I'm not 100% certain of this, but it seems Oracle Golden Gate does both DML and DDL. MIMIX only does DML, and it would be very nice if they included DDL replication. This is one feature that would be very helpful to have."

"The high cost of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"I'm not sure about the Azure Site Recovery pricing, but my organization gets monthly bills from providers."

"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."

"They have a license to pay."

"The tool's licensing is yearly and not expensive."

"Azure Site Recovery is affordable."

"Azure Site Recovery is neither very expensive nor very cheap."

"The licensing provides the access to support. I do know that there's an annual charge for being able to call into their support line and get a technical team from Precisely to assist with any issues we may have. I don't think there are any additional costs other than what we incur internally in terms of the infrastructure that we need to run and operate the product."

"The cost of the product is too high."
