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.

Great backup that's user-friendly and very reliable

We primarily use the solution as a cloud-backed application machine for storage-related tasks. The connection to the cloud is very useful for clients. It offers very good backup capabilities. You can use it on-premises or on the cloud. It hasn't given us any issues so far. It's stable. The…

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 helps to save costs."

"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."

"We use the solution across hospitality and healthcare domains. We use it for custom development. It helps us develop a seamless omnichannel for the healthcare industry."

"The most valuable feature is the visibility of what is happening with our business as well as the good reporting and dashboards."

"The solution is very easy to use."

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

"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)."

More Azure Site Recovery pros

"The most valuable feature is the snapshot capability."

"One of the most valuable features of Veeam Cloud Connect is it does not require the use of an extremely fast internet connection for it to work. The backup process is automated which is great."

"While there are some complexities, Veeam tries to keep the product simple and offers a good knowledge base. It's quite structured, so you can easily take one subject and learn about it simply by reading through the documentation."

"the interface is the most valuable feature and for the client it's security."

"The stability and restore options on the solution are very good."

"This solution works really well and it is simple to deploy."

"Replication without network changes."

"I like the fact that it gives you the possibility to set the data out of the customer on-premises site and to have an off-site copy in your Cloud Data Center."

Cons

"Site Recovery's scalability could be improved."

"The product's performance is an area of concern where improvements are required."

"The immutable backup could be better."

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

"One area for improvement with Azure is helping customers predict usage more accurately."

"we lack a straightforward method to automate the restart of services, which can be quite time-consuming."

"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."

"I would like to see more security features."

More Azure Site Recovery cons

"We encountered some issues with stability at the beginning."

"Some of the features I'd like added to the solution would be coming up in version 12, so the only area for improvement I saw in Veeam Cloud Connect was the need to have more support for object storage."

"The flexibility results in more administrative GUI. The GUI needs improvement."

"The biggest thing that Cloud Connect needs is native deduplication."

"We are now able to work on more security-related tasks with Acronis, as they offer features such as antivirus, DLP, and various cybersecurity options. This is a significant improvement compared to our previous solution with Veeam Cloud Connect, where we were lacking such features. It also allows us to offer a wider range of security options to our customers."

"We were interested in investing hundreds of thousands of dollars in VMware. VMware right now is one of the biggest solutions in the world, in terms of the IT environment. But for Cloud Connect it's not. I think they need the cloud version to reach more customers, to enable the cloud version to be used by more people."

"Doesn't back-up from KVM."

"We need the solution to offer IT storage."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

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

"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."

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

"Azure Site Recovery is affordable."

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

"Azure Site Recovery is a very reasonably priced product."

"They have a license to pay."

"The price of the solution is reasonable because of our good standing with the vendor."

"It's not the cheapest solution on the market but it's reliable, so we find it cost-effective."

"We are looking into how we can extend the license of this product."

"I think that this is one of the most cost-effective solutions."

"The pricing of Veeam Cloud Connect is good."

"The licensing fee is on a monthly basis."

"The price of the solution could be cheaper. There are monthly or yearly subscription options available. The annual subscription tends to be cheaper."

"The licensing is MSP-based. It is connected to the portal, and you can deploy it to your end users as well."
