Easy Configuration and Execution: Reviewers have found VMWare SRM to be very easy to configure and execute, even for those who are not virtualization experts. This indicates that the product offers a user-friendly interface and does not require extensive technical knowledge to set up.

Multiple Protection Groups and Recovery Plans: Several users mentioned the helpfulness of having multiple protection groups and recovery plans in VMWare SRM. This feature allows users to implement recovery priorities and partial or full site recovery based on their specific needs, providing greater control over their disaster recovery processes.

Automated Replication Management: Users appreciate the automated replication management in VMWare SRM. The software takes care of replication from the failover site to the old primary site without requiring any additional tasks, making the disaster recovery process streamlined and time-saving.

Expensive Licensing: Many users have expressed concerns about the high cost of VMWare's licensing, particularly for those who only have a small number of virtual machines. They feel that the pricing is not justified by the value they receive.

Difficulty in Resolving Support Tickets: Several users have faced challenges when trying to get their support tickets resolved by VMWare support. This has led to frustration and delays in problem resolution, impacting their overall experience with the product.

Quality of Products and Technical Support Teams: Users are disappointed with the declining quality of VMWare's products and technical support teams. They believe that there has been a significant degradation in both areas over time.

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.

Easy Peasy Site Recovery

It's quite well suited for a medium to large size VMWare virtualization infrastructure where your production infrastructure can be failed over to a disaster recovery site. There are other cheaper options for a smaller budget business. Also, for a non mission critical virtual infrastructure, you can simply use VM backups such as Veeam backups for restoring failed VMs.

We use the 25 server license for our environment and can fit all our mission critical systems for DR/BC. The license worked well within our budget. Setting up a test process and walk-thru is probably the most difficult part of this process. An "easy" test button would be cool.
