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.

Easy Peasy Site Recovery
- Veeam Backup & Replication
Veeam Backup & Replication is slower than VMWare SRM and doesn't suits our RTO (Recovery Time Objective).

SRM - not what it used to be...

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.

A good choice for a 100% VMware environments.
The choice betweem vCRM and Veeam is tight, and only the same manufacturer compatibility is the win key to vCRM.

Automated Disaster Recovery
- CA Nimsoft Monitor, CommVault, EMC Isilon Scale-Out NAS, Oracle Solaris, Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), Symantec NetBackup and VCE Vblock
[We selected VM Site Recovery Manager based on] VMware Snapshots, functionality and integration.

DR Automation with VMware Site Recovery Manager
- Storage Level replication and manual failover /failback
Automatic vs manual efforts.

SRM - a newbies point of view
- Veeam Backup & Replication
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.
