Trustworthy and provides good availability
Our administrator found the solution easy to use, but once that administrator left, it felt very overwhelming to the individual who took it over. It could be more of a knowledge transfer situation that didn't happen, but we didn't know if it was easy to use. Precisely Assure QuickEDD is deployed on the cloud in our organization. The implementation of QLED helped us with our recovery time objective and was a seamless transition. In order to utilize the product to its fullest potential, users should be knowledgeable of what it offers. They should also form a relationship with the person who is their representative. Overall, I rate the solution an eight or nine out of ten.

Has enabled seamless VM management and automated failover while support response needs improvement
For support issues, they help with the issue, but it takes a very long time. The reason is that they engage a very initial resource and then escalate to another level, and during these level escalations, our time is wasted. They do not understand the severity of the issue. They go through step-by-step and then go to the upper level. This may be their SOP, but we require instant support and instant resolution of the problem, so here VMware Live Recovery is lacking. They follow their SOP, but they initially engage very low-level personnel who are not able to answer or resolve the issue, so they escalate or take a very long time to resolve the issue. The main issue is to improve the approach of resolving solutions. I may not be able to suggest new features because in these recent months, I have not been very close to it as we are exploring different solutions.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Its initial setup is fine; it is straightforward and easy."
"The most valuable feature of Precisely Assure QuickEDD is the backup system."
"Synchronous applications are valuable."
"With VMware vSphere Replication and SRM combined, we were able to cut down outage windows to a maximum of one hour."
"The solution offers a rich set of features, well adapted in the market."
"I give VMware Live Recovery a rating of ten out of ten."
"The thing I like the most about SMR is the reduced cost of management."
"The primary valuable feature is the ability to have automated DR; they have vMotion, which ensures that any changes on the main production site reflect on the application layer on the DR site, which is a very important tool."
"The solution runs well in the background, just in case we need it."
"We were able to reduce the cost of our overall DR infrastructure while increase our recovery time."
"The stability of SRM has been excellent. It gets a nine-out-of-ten."
 

Cons

"Our administrator found the solution easy to use, but once that administrator left, it felt very overwhelming to the individual who took it over."
"There should be more interactive dashboards."
"It is expensive. The cost varies based on your requirements."
"The technical support is not very good and needs to make an effort to improve."
"We are limited to 50 VMs."
"I personally will not continue using the VMware SRM solution."
"Licensing costs explode after 75 VMs."
"SRM may hit some OS issues related to IP changes, but they are usually OS related, especially in the 2008 realm."
"We had a problem connecting to the SRM plug-in."
"I would say VMware has room for improvement with this product."
"The solution currently has a five-minute RPO, meaning if the VM goes down we can lose up to five minutes of data which is a big deal when it relates to database replication."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is expensive. The cost varies based on your requirements. If you want to manage it, there is an extra cost."
"It is reasonably priced, and its cost hasn't been a significant factor in our implementation."
"The licensing costs are increasing."
"Compare to hardware-based replication, I think software based replication is best and cheap."
"The software is expensive. There is a one-time cost involved in purchasing the license."
"VMware SRM is an expensive solution, and users need to pay extra costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"Mature products like VMware SRM often have higher costs."
"There is an annual license to use this solution."
"The cost of SRM is on par with market rates."
