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."
"Synchronous applications are valuable."
"The most valuable feature of Precisely Assure QuickEDD is the backup system."
"The most valuable feature is disaster recovery testing."
"Site Recovery Manager is valuable because it helps with the difficult problem of failing a group of virtual machines over to your DR site and bringing them up."
"I would rate the ease of setting up and configuring my recovery plan in VMware SRM, a ten out of ten, with ten being the easiest."
"Combined with VMware SRM and EMC RecoverPoint, it offers zero RPO and zero RTO, making it a very strong data recovery solution for our VMware environments."
"The UI is very user-friendly and testing is easy, it doesn't require a lot of resources or a SAN team to enable testing, a single person can do it and get results."
"The product functionality is fairly high-quality."
"The solution runs well in the background, just in case we need it."
"VMware is one of the best products in the industry when it comes to virtualization."
 

Cons

"It is expensive. The cost varies based on your requirements."
"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."
"The product's stability could be better."
"We have had an issue when some customers have traditional designs and sites. For example, on one another site, they are using hyper-converged, using VMware, or Nutanix. We have a problem with the synchronization between the storage for site to site. This is the main issue. We are adding some other tools to support the synchronization to allow the movement of the workload from site to site easily."
"The pricing structure is pretty expensive, especially after the recent changes, and it's important for the cost to be justified based on the features used in production."
"It would be good if this solution could integrate configuration management software such as Chef Infra."
"SRM may hit some OS issues related to IP changes, but they are usually OS related, especially in the 2008 realm."
"Licensing costs explode after 75 VMs."
"Cost is definitely an area where the product could be improved, I'd definitely say it should have cheaper pricing."
"Not really for use and operation, but a version upgrade is a real problem."
 

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."
"The pricing is good."
"The licensing costs are increasing."

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