Helps reduce costs and enables the creation of new non-production databases
We use the solution on our non-production database. We use it to spin up non-production environments using Oracle The product helps to create new non-production databases. The solution helps reduce costs. The product must provide AI features. Google has stopped supporting the on-premise version…

Managed services with seamless integration and good reliability
Since I have to view everything on the console, the previous application solutions like IBM and Sanavi showed the RPO and RTO status directly. In AWS Disaster Recovery Service, these details are not available, making it difficult to check my replication status. I have to calculate whether my data is replicated to the Adarabad region or not. These features, if available in AWS, would be beneficial.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Very user-friendly and the QSA is very good."
"This product has unique capabilities that lead the product category in test data management, cloning and recovery."
"Actifio was very stable. Whenever they identified bugs, they would promptly provide us with patches."
"Very user-friendly and the QSA is very good."
"The solution helps reduce costs."
"They will assist me in achieving whatever budget issue the client may be having."
"It offers seamless integration with services like ACL, EKS, and Fargate for deploying containerized applications."
"The strong points are the stability and scalability of the solution, as well as the convenience of it being cloud-based."
"It provides our disaster recovery solution. It works fine in our tests.​"
"AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery is a robust and reliable solution for disaster recovery needs."
"The solution is dependent on the network bandwidth. For example, if they have a bandwidth of 10Mbps the solution will run a little heavier. If the bandwidth is good the solution runs well."
"Customer service is quite helpful."
"CloudEndure Disaster Recovery is a fairly stable solution."
"It's on the cheaper side and not too expensive for users."
 

Cons

"While the product does support various databases, the company needs to make more of an effort to support N-minus-one compatibility."
"The solution doesn't support AIX software or in-cloud, and we have a lot of servers running on AIX and Oracle."
"Areas that need improvement would be the support for recovery in the physical environment."
"Google has stopped supporting the on-premise version of the tool."
"The initial setup is complex."
"Lacks the option to price backup costs within the solution itself."
"The failback could be improved. It should be more intuitive."
"Since I have to view everything on the console, the previous application solutions like IBM and Sanavi showed the RPO and RTO status directly. In AWS Disaster Recovery Service, these details are not available, making it difficult to check my replication status."
"I have not seen any areas that need improvement at this time."
"In its current state, ECL integrates with CloudWatch for basic logging and monitoring, yet improvements could include more detailed logs for specific actions, like when I perform actions such as push or pull."
"The product could be improved by incorporating more AI-driven automation for deployment and additional security features. These enhancements would make the solution even more user-friendly and secure."
"I set up a test, deleted the source, and went to fail it back, and it didn't work."
"I would like to see better support for creating and working with archives."
"The cost of AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery is seen as expensive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Actifio is cheaper than other tools."
"Support is very good. They send out a VM link and help you fix any issues."
"Pricing is on a case by case basis."
"The pricing is better now that they had come out with the Tier 2 which replicates a little less often. In comparison to what I would have been spending with any other type of solution, the pricing is fair."
"They license us on a per machine basis. We have a set number of machines, which we have licensed.​"
"CloudEndure Disaster Recovery is charging clients $20 to do the DR backups. It is an expensive solution."
"I rate the price of CloudEndure Disaster Recovery a six out of ten."
"Where the price adds up, there are CloudEndure licenses, then there is the AWS environment, and finally, there is the AWS storage, so cumulatively, it adds up."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten."
"I feel the product's pricing is a good value. Licensing is pretty straightforward."
"It has saved us money from having to buy hardware for disaster recovery."
