With AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery, we were able to reduce recovery time from several hours to around 10 to 15 minutes during testing. Continuous replication minimizes data loss and the cost-efficient staging environment helps reduce infrastructure expenses compared to maintaining a full secondary disaster recovery site.
My experience with the pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that it has been a reasonable cost. Compared to maintaining a full standby disaster recovery environment, it is actually reasonable. In my case, since the cloud is basically a pay-as-you-go model, we only pay for the replication storage, data transfer, and small staging instances. We don't need to keep the EC2 instance running all the time in the DR region, which helps us reduce our overall DR cost. In my perspective, it is more cost-effective.
The pricing has been fine, and regarding the setup cost as well, it is quite fine. There is definitely a scope of improvement, and for year-end licensing, they should definitely improve the cost.
The setup is actually managed by our partner. I have taken a rate of per user. Licensing is completely managed by the partner. I am paying per user and per GB storage cost, while the infrastructure cost is separate.
It has pay-as-you-go pricing. The cost will be different if you are not utilizing it as often as possible because there are costs beforehand and after an incident.

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. 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. The license would be better if it cheaper. I do not think it is great pricing, but I would say it's fair. Through my third-party, I locked-in for the long-term. I received some price discounts from a three-year deal versus a one-year, which I probably question a bit now. It forced us into a certain amount of licenses. From year-to-year, I can't really play with it that often or drop it if needed. I am sort of locked into a certain amount of serviceable licenses because of the long-term deal. This has nothing to do with CloudEndure. This is between the third-party and me.

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that pricing is fair, and you pay for the use.

The pricing of AWS is considered expensive compared to other options.
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.
The solution was free to use. It was just the price of the storage, and that was it. It gave us 2,000 licenses, which is enough for anybody.
I rate the price of CloudEndure Disaster Recovery a six out of ten.
The cost is very reasonable.
CloudEndure Disaster Recovery is charging clients $20 to do the DR backups. It is an expensive solution.
