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

"After Broadcom acquired the solution, the licensing cost increased drastically"

"There is an annual license to use this solution."

"Compare to hardware-based replication, I think software based replication is best and cheap."

"The price could be lower, in general. My clients pay for an annual license."

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

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

"The licensing costs for the product are perpetual in nature. A person needs to buy the license only once there is a need to buy support on a yearly basis. The licensing cost for VMware SRM is expensive."

"I would say VMware Cloud Disaster Recovery is very expensive in comparison with other available virtualization solutions."
