Overall Satisfaction with VMware Site Recovery Manager
Our department uses vCenter SRM to utilize an off site failover of our VM's. In case of a disaster VMware SRM has proven year after year to satisfy our annual audits of testing our failover procedures. Critical applications such as Exchange, SQL, Oracle, IIS, and others have all been tested and the fallback procedures that SRM has are seamless.
Pros
- Easy configuration and setup.
- Testing of a particular VM or datastore with several VMs is easy.
- Auto configuration of IPs makes the process even easier.
Cons
- The upgrade process can use a little fine tuning.
- The use of SRM being on an appliance instead of only running on Windows is needed as well.
- Satisfy Audits
- Saved money on not having to have everything in the cloud.
