What differentiates Microsoft Azure Site Recovery from other similar products?

The best-to-best solution that I deployed and used as a DR solution was Azure Site Recovery (ASR). To enable your DR solution for your business applications, ASR offers a number of options. Azure RTO is really quick, and it includes a number of options and internal integration that make managing the infrastructure simple. We also employed a backup and disaster recovery service.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

ASR is very simple to test and utilize. It is initially set up simply for region-to-region failover, but you can easily customize it for each virtual machine to suit your needs. Compared to many other goods, it is considerably simpler and easier to use. It is easy to deploy and operate, and by running on numerous virtual machines, it minimizes recovery concerns.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Although I enjoyed the services offered by Azure Site Recovery, there are some drawbacks to consider before purchasing ASR. For example, we must have the necessary skills to use this service; in other words, we must know who to contact. Additionally, it requires a strong network to synchronize the services.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

It was initially offered in Azure as a backup location to protect against calamities. You may swiftly recover from problems by continually duplicating servers and VMs at the primary site to servers at the backup location in the case of failure. Site recovery service and backup service are the two services that Azure Site Recovery currently provides.
