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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The solution is stable."

"We haven't needed anyone to maintain or deploy the solution. The traditional Nutanix administrator can administer the solution."

"The tool's most valuable feature is ease of use."

"It offers synchronous data replication, allowing us to sync our recovery data every hour and efficiently send applications to remote sites."

"Hyper-convergence gives me the ability to patch my firmware, software, and hypervisors with a single click. That is extremely useful."

"It is a very secure and scalable solution, and their support is also outstanding."

"The most valuable feature is the automation, where you press a button and everything fails over seamlessly."

"It's easy to use and the interface is quite simple."

"My impression is that the initial setup process is relatively straightforward."

"It is a stable solution...The solution's technical support is excellent."

"The initial setup is easy depending on the environment you are working with."

Cons

"For moving the data for DR, we are using Megaport. We are using a Megaport link between the data centers, so we have a third party for the site-to-site connectivity between the data centers. If such connectivity is available from the Nutanix side, it would be helpful for us."

"I think that Nutanix should support public clouds instead of the Nutanix data centers."

"The pricing could be better."

"The solution needs improvement in cost."

"They need better reporting on the environment."

"The product is more costly than other platforms. The price could be better."

"Flexibility to choose different PITs would be nice."

"The product's stability could be better."

"The administration guides can be complicated and difficult to use, so it would be helpful if it was made easier."

"The back sites sometimes are very, very complicated."

"The infrastructure of the solution needs to be more software-based"

"When starting up the replication and converting it to the virtual machine I had some problems. I had to start the process again and that is inconvenient."

"It has a lot of dependencies on VMware infrastructure, and testing can be complex. Testing often requires extensive approval at the organizational level."

"In my opinion, the integration with Peer Persistent Storage could be improved."

More VMware Live Recovery cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Besides the license, there are additional costs with the network connection. The customer may want a direct connection between the two data centers and that has an extra cost."

"I always want it to be cheaper."

"One-time costs may initially seem high, but they reflect the quality of the service received."

"It is a little bit cheaper than the other products in the market. It is affordable."

"Mature products like VMware SRM often have higher costs."

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

"VMware SRM is expensive when compared to Veeam and makes Veeam look cheaper. For support, some additional payments need to be made over the licensing costs of the solution."

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

"The licensing costs are increasing."

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

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

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