Creating a complex data infrastructure is easy to achieve with Azure data Recovery, which maintains security at all times so that you can work with multiple connections between different types of services without the information becoming fragile at any time. This means that there is no way for data to be affected by any type of malware or external software that is not related to or allowed by the company. Azure Site Recovery creates replicas of virtual machines that are used in other regions of the company with amazing speed, and adds all the information to the physical server being used. This means that the data is unalterable by third parties, and because it is so secure, different data models can be tested that are consistent for the job. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There have been no problems since the beginning of our experience with Azure data Recovery. The only negative point is that the platform does not support the protection of virtual machines whose disk is Docker, as the platform interprets this as an invalid scenario.

DraaS and VMWare Support, Faster the failover, lower cost than VMWare cloud, Hyper-V Hypervisor running in background for Good Virtualization environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Limited Hypervisor Support other than Microsoft and VMWare. Need support for Citrix and KVM. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
With a couple of clicks the protection of the VM can be setup to another region in Microsoft Azure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
For the time being there is no way to script the setup of the protection of the VM (replication between regions). It must be done manually using UI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Implementation of Site Recovery let`s you one great thing, try your on-premise services, running in Azure. After we executed test failover, we were excited with speed and smoothness of Azure environment so we decided to retire outdated hardware and stayed in Azure. Solution was implemented in Hyper-V server and didn`t took long to be configured appropriately, so migration was transparent to our users. The only difference they noticed was increased speed of applications. According to documentation solution could be used with VMware and AWS virtual machines as well as with physical servers, which is also cool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
heavy network load during initial synchronization, we don`t have much bandwidth, so it was sufficient when only delta was sent to Azure, but network was very slow when we started Site Recovery for the first time Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Site Recovery provides new level of resiliency of your physical servers and virtual machines, it orchestrates replication and provides failover options in case of outage. You can chose between on-premises data center or Azure as secondary location for your workloads. solution is not so hard to implement, Microsoft also provides all required tools for capacity planning, so you can perform assessment of your infrastructure, to determine if you have enough network bandwidth to handle replication process. Support of Hyper-V and VMWare hypervisors as well as Azure virtual machines that could be replicated to another subscription. Also ASR has some support for AWS EC2 instances. Abbility to perform test failover without puttiong your actual servers down, it is also useful if you need to quickly create a copy of your production environment for testing purposes and destroy it, when testing completes. Comfortable and reasonable pricing for such kind of solutions Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
AWS EC2 is supported as primary location, but it will work only one-way, so you will not be able to fail back. Useful for migration from AWS but not for additional resiliency. Failing back from Azure can utilize a lot of outbound traffic, and can increase your mothly costs for Azure. VMWare configuration is complex and requires additional server to be deployed on-premises Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
My workload was relatively small so this tool worked wonderfully. It does not require a lot of Investments of time or energy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is expensive and I have ran across an issue with quoting clients accurately due to the cost of restoring. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
very easy to manage right out of the box. best choice if you have azure and want to limit downtime Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
the cost, it could be cheaper. also i wish i could recover to local location as an option Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
DRaaS model allows you to pay only for resources that you are using with Site Recovery, no need to have very expensive redundant starage on-premise. Work fantastic fow Azure recources and Hyper-V VMs in your datacenter Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

ASR allows replication of your hypervisors to clud or secondary datacenter without a complex configuration. Configuration for Hyper-V takes just several hours, VMware is a bit more complex Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Alerting system needs some work on it, but it is not a big problem Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It can backup online both Windows and Linux infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) VMs (and physical). In addition, it supports Windows Server and System Center management tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
You need to have IT-level knowledge for all but the simplest disaster recover scenarios. Furthermore, a. System Center Virtual Machine Manager is required for multi-VM configurations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The native integration with on-prem Microsoft products such as Windows 2012 R2 and Data Protection Manager. The Azure Site Recovery feature closes the gap for Disaster Recovery and provides new options vs. the traditional costly colocation models. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Some functions still have to be managed via Powershell vs. a GUI interface. One of the attractive draws to moving to a cloud model is reducing the need to IT expertise so adding more GUI management features would be beneficial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
