VMware Live Recovery Reviews

It's user-friendly, for those who have learned and experienced the technology.

VMware is one of the best products in the industry when it comes to virtualization.

Technical support needs improvement, they are not very responsive.

You should be technically skilled enough so that you don't have to rely on its support. It's not easy when you don't get the support that you would expect to receive from VMware.

I have been working with this solution for more than five years.

VMware SRM is a stable solution. It's very reliable.

VMware SRM is a scalable solution.

We have always had trouble reaching out to support and connecting with their support engineers.

I would rate the technical support a three out of five.

In terms of VMware, we use a variety of solutions, such as VMware vSAN, VxRail, Center, and SRM.

I would rate VMware SRM an eight out of ten.

In terms of recovery, if you have a test job script, you can put it on top of it. You can create custom steps so that it will be more granular. It will be an easy, one click solution when it comes to the recovery application.

It would be good if this solution could integrate configuration management software such as Chef Infra.

I've been using VMware SRM for more than a year.

The stability is always good because we replicate daily. I have never seen any issues because the replication is always 100% successful.

You can add multiple appliances, and it supports enterprise environments.

Technical support is very good.

The initial setup is straightforward.

The deployment takes about three hours.

VMware SRM is the best sustainability solution, I would rate it at nine on a scale from one to ten.

We use it for disaster recovery.

I like how VMware SRM is able to automate and orchestrate disaster recovery.

The price, in general, could be lower.

I've been using this solution for probably three years now.

It is a stable solution.

It is scalable.

My experience with technical support has been fine.

The installation is straightforward if you have the required skill level. It took about a week for the initial setup.

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

I recommend VMware SRM and rate it at eight on a scale from one to ten.

SRM is implemented as part of VMware.

We use it for failover between geographical locations from one location to another location. Sometimes for maintenance purposes, we can failover services to another location so that we can maintain the technology at another location.

The solution works well. If you want to do failover, it works without any problem.

The product is stable.

The deployment process is fast.

The challenge it has is with the speed of failing over. Sometimes it can cause a bit of downtime during switchovers. Sometimes you realize that when you are failing over you can have downtime due to the fact that you're stepping down on one side and powering up on another side.

We've used the solution since 2012. It's been almost ten years.

The stability is great. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable.

The scalability is just a function. Whether you can scale or not depends on your resources. It depends on your bandwidth. The scalability will depend on the infrastructure it is using.

We have three people who work with the solution directly.

The deployment doesn't take long. It also takes just a couple of hours as long as you have prepared and long as you have a design.

For the implementation process, we needed three people, however, for implementation, we need a trained engineer. Just one engineer is fine.

If you have trained people who are certified, you can do it yourself. The most important thing is to make sure that it is done by a trained engineer.

We do have to pay a licensing fee in order to use the solution. We have an annual subscription. 

I don't remember the version of SRM that we're using now.

I'd recommend the solution to others.

I would rate it at an eight out of ten.

VMware SRM is used for disaster recovery automation.

VMware SRM is a very nice tool for disaster recovery for virtual environments.

The solution could improve by removing some of the limitations we have been facing. There could be better integrated.

I have been using VMware SRM for approximately 10 years.

The solution is stable.

VMware SRM is scalable.

We have approximately 25 people using this solution in my company.

The support could be improved, they are slow.

The installation is of a moderate difficulty level. The time it takes to implement depends on what vendor you are integrating it with, such as HP. The typical duration of implementation including the configuration is approximately five days.

We have one engineer for the maintenance and support of VMware SRM.

There is an annual license to use this solution.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate VMware SRM an eight out of ten.

Our primary use case of this solution is for testing. 

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. 

Unfortunately, SRM is not stable and it therefore requires continuous monitoring. If there are any issues associated with the Center, SRM doesn't work well and as a result, it generates a lot of tickets and productivity drops. 

I've been using this solution for five years.

Although this solution is a good tool, it lacks stability. We have five users in our team. 

The overall advantage of VMware is its scalability. But when it comes to SRM, scalability is not really relevant. It's only relevant in terms of the DR solution because SRM is a component of VMware, which requires vCenter. 

The technical support is quite good. 

Setup of SRM required the architectural team. The SAN team plays a very important role here because there's not enough stability. The DR test can fail because of the associated orchestration issues with regard to the SAN.

I've never used Zerto, but from my training and my personal analysis, I think it's better than SRM. 

I rate this product six out of 10. 

We use VMware Cloud Disaster Recovery as a disaster recovery service and backup as a service.

The most valuable features are the backup and disaster recovery services.

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.

I have been using VMware Cloud Disaster Recovery for a few years.

I have found VMware Cloud Disaster Recovery to be stable.

The scalability of VMware Cloud Disaster Recovery is very good.

We have customers in the medium to large-scale enterprise companies.

The technical support provided by VMware is one of the best I have used.

I have used many similar solutions to VMware Cloud Disaster Recovery, such as Veeam and Citrix.

The installation is normally simple for users to fully implement.

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

I rate VMware Cloud Disaster Recovery a nine out of ten.

We are not an end-user. We are a solutions provider to companies.

All of its components are very competitive compared to other solutions. The application, the DR health check, and the scale-out file system are all great. They tailored a lot of technology in the VCDR, which is good. It's a very good solution overall.

The initial setup is very straightforward. 

The solution is stable. 

Technical support is very proactive and helpful.

The solution has proven to be easily scalable. 

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.

We've been working with the solution since before Datrium was acquired by VMware. 

In terms of stability, recently, we encountered an issue, however, it has been addressed immediately by support. It's now resolved. For the most part, the solution is stable. 

The scalability is pretty good. We just have to ask for additional space. Eventually, it will be guaranteed on demand.

There are many users on the solution. It's a big organization.

One of the good things about the solution is that it has very proactive support there. They are helpful and responsive and we are pleased with the level of assistance they offer.

We did not previously use a different solution. 

The solution is very straightforward and easy to set up. The deployment is quick and easy. In our experience, the solution only takes four hours to deploy. 

We're integrators and therefore can implement the solution for our clients. 

We looked at other solutions, however, the product is a very good technology. We have seen its many advantages as compared to other solutions. For example, the solution has been HCI disaggregated.

I'm not sure which version of the solution we're using. 

We're an integrator. Our clients use the solution. We are not end-users. 

I'd rate the solution at a ten out of ten.

I use VMware SRM for DR testing and VR.

The solution is simple to use and has effective automation.

VMware SRM does not have the capacity to do DR tests. We had issues whenever we were doing tests with the root cause analysis. We had 70 to 80 percent successful results because the vCenters were overloaded and that was the reason that we were having capacity issues.

We have been experiencing an additional problem when adding a regular VM in the replicated storage. By default, it will show an error. However, there is not any monitoring mechanism that would show you are not supposed to have a regular VM which is non-VR in the replicated SRM storage. Whenever we used to do testing we had to figure out that a regular VM is there and remove it manually.

I have been using this solution for approximately seven years.

The stability should be smooth, and as for the capacity, we should be able to run the test successfully. However, from our research and DR test results, we came to the conclusion that we have to run the DR test during the non-production hours. Logically, they should be able to be done during the production hours, but that is not the case. We have to ensure that the vCenters are free and are not doing regular work for us not to have any issues during the DR test.

There needs to be better stability during heavy capacity in future releases.

The solution is easy to scale.

The solution is used extensively in our large organization.

When we first started out using this solution we encountered a few issues and used the support but we now know how to fix most of the issues and have not used them. Additionally, we have our own team for support.

The installation is logically simple and in the medium range of difficulty. However, you need to make sure you have the proper infrastructure.

I have evaluated Veritas and Zerto.

I would advise others looking into implementing VMware SRM not to totally be dependent upon it. Review other solutions, such as Veritas regulatory platform and Zerto. There are newer VM DR options coming out regularly and they should not have only one solution.

I rate VMware SRM a six out of ten.

We are consultants in disaster recovery software. We implement VMware products for our clients.

It is easy to implement for my clients. 

It's a very nice product.

I would like to see this solution be more scalable.

We currently use our security in addition to VMware SRM.

I am certified in VMware and VCloud. 

I have been using VMware SRM for ten years.

We have no issues with the stability of VMware SRM.

VMware SRM is scalable, but it can be improved.

We have 15 to 20 customers who are using SRM. We have customers not only in the US but in the UK also.

They provide very good technical support that is affordable.

We are also using Zerto.

It is very easy when it comes to integrating with a data center or an appliance, but it's a bit complicated.

The length of time it takes to deploy depends on the database we are accessing. It can take two hours to deploy.

We have two senior persons to deploy and maintain it.

I am not involved with the pricing. 

We have a procurement team and sales team that work with the vendors.

I would definitely recommend this solution to others who are interested in using it.

I would rate VMware SRM an eight out of ten.
