VMware SRM
Chose VMware SRM
Veeam Backup & Replication is slower than VMWare SRM and doesn't suits our RTO (Recovery Time Objective).
Chose VMware SRM
If SRM worked as advertised, it would be comparable, however, Veeam also provides you with the ability to create real time labs with your machines, and they can be accessed via a proxy. This allows you to failover some machines and test them from outside the DR bubble.
Chose VMware SRM
[We selected VM Site Recovery Manager based on] VMware Snapshots, functionality and integration.
Chose VMware SRM
Entertained Veeam, however with SRM's tight integration and "brand" it was an easy decision. The cost for a 25 server license also weighed in the decision for using a VMware product. Plus I am a VMware fan and feel this option to go with SRM will transcend jobs.

SRM is a must-have tool if your business requires you to failover your VMs to a disaster recovery site and provide valid testing and real-time numbers. Our VP office is always amazed at how easily we are able to satisfy our annual testing and show actual results with time stamps and the sequence of each VM that is up and running. SRM may not be needed in a very small business that does not have the capacity nor the need to have their infrastructure off site in a form of a disaster recovery site.

Cons

  • I am not very pleased with the overall licensing cost. It's pretty expensive. Especially if you have a small number of VMs, you are paying a lot.
  • We had a little struggle getting our support tickets resolved by VMWare support.

VMWare SRM is very easy to use and configure. You don't have to be a virtualization expert to learn SRM configuration and execution.

Sometimes we have to struggle explaining the problem and getting it resolved on priority. The overall quality of support team is not as good as it used to be in past.

Return on Investment
No answers on this topic
  • The biggest positive is that we have a data recovery solution that we can test and verify in a live condition. Prior to this we were only hoping we could recover from a disaster.
  • We've been only running for 4 months and haven't had to use SRM.
