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

"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."

"I rate the tool's pricing an eight to nine out of ten."

"I rate the solution's pricing a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is the lowest and ten is the most expensive."

"The price of VMware Cloud Disaster Recovery should be lowered in order to compete better in the market."

"The cost of SRM is on par with market rates."

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

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

"The licensing costs are increasing."
