Offers simplified management and automated recovery process, which reduces the need for manual intervention during a disaster

Automated recovery is one good feature, SRM also offers simplified management. It has a centralized interface for configuring, testing, and executing disaster recovery plans across multiple sites. This means management from a single point, even for many sites. Recovery plans can be different for customers. So, another important feature is the policy-based protection within SRM. Recovery plans can be customized based on business requirements, including Recovery Point Objectives (RPO) and Recovery Time Objectives (RTO). These objectives might differ between industries – healthcare might need a more aggressive RPO, for instance. Additionally, SRM offers failback capabilities and reporting features for compliance.

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"VMware SRM is a little bit pricey."

"Licensing costs explode after 75 VMs."

"It is an expensive platform. I rate the pricing an eight out of ten."

"The cost of SRM is a little bit high, especially for smaller companies."

"VMware sells in bundles of 50 VMs, so if we want to expand, we have to buy the whole bundle."

"The price of VMware SRM depends on how many VMs the customer has to move. There is a difference between the standard and enterprise license. I'm presenting the standard license to my customers because the total of VMs is not more than 50. The customer needs only the standard license and the cost is very effective for him."

"The software is expensive. There is a one-time cost involved in purchasing the license."

"The pricing is good."
