Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Disaster Recovery (DR) Software."We confirm the server failure before initiating recovery. Once started, this process takes half an hour to an hour, though it can be as fast as 15 minutes. After bringing up the server, we test connectivity to ensure everything is operational."
"The solution runs well in the background, just in case we need it."
"I like how VMware SRM is able to automate and orchestrate disaster recovery."
"VMware is one of the best products in the industry when it comes to virtualization."
"It has a good and effective user interface."
"VMware's tech support gets a nine-out-of-ten. They are responsive and get you a useful reply."
"SRM's best feature is automation."
"The solution is scalable."
"It made the DR process a lot faster and easier for recovery after we were familiar with the product operation."
"The main weakness of Carbonite Recover is the fallback process, which can be time-consuming. However, the failover process works well when done properly. Similar to other software programs, there was a technical issue involving duplicates and small glitches."
"SRM may hit some OS issues related to IP changes, but they are usually OS related, especially in the 2008 realm."
"An improvement for SRM would be better interface compatibility with other products."
"Technical support can take some time to respond."
"This product is not appropriate for those moving to a broader cloud footprint."
"It has a lot of dependencies on VMware infrastructure, and testing can be complex. Testing often requires extensive approval at the organizational level."
