While there are no major drawbacks, some potential improvements could address complexities in implementing and maintaining SRM. The cost can be significant, and there's a resource overhead – meaning SRM consumes resources on both protected and recovery sites. Additionally, it has a lot of dependencies on VMware infrastructure, and testing can be complex. Testing often requires extensive approval at the organizational level. Finally, sufficient bandwidth is crucial, failover things are purely dependent on the bandwidth availability, so network limitations can impact performance.
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.

VMware Cloud Disaster Recovery could improve by enhancing the network bandwidth from the storage. In a future release, I would like to see new functionality or current feature enhancements.

They need to have their own cloud, however, unfortunately, since the solution has been acquired by VMware, I doubt that will be happening. It is impossible to acquire Datrium data nodes, unfortunately. It would be ideal if they added advanced analytics or AI to the solution.
The automation should be simplified or improved. Usually throughout the day, during peak periods, one or another task cannot be carried out. Moreover, if one wishes to move large data, the user's application response may be affected. So, it would be best if such tasks can be automated to allow such tasks to be undertaken not during peak periods. As a consequence, this would lessen the impact to the underlying resources. I would also like to see interoperability between various virtualization and cloud solutions. It would be nice to be able to move my VM from Windows or Hyper-V to VMware and from this to Citrix. The adding of these features would be awesome.
VMware Live Recovery is a disaster recovery solution that protects and recovers virtual machines (VMs) across on-premise and public clouds. Key features include rapid ransomware recovery, an on-demand recovery environment for testing procedures without affecting production, live behavioral analysis to detect threats, push-button VM network isolation to contain threats, guided restore point selection, and immutable, air-gapped recovery points to prevent tampering. VMware Live Recovery provides...

It would be better if we could get more reporting features in VMware SRM.
VMware SRM needs to improve its pricing.
The infrastructure of the solution needs to be more software-based, and less dependent on hardware.
The improvements should be as per customer requirements.
