What I would say is the most helpful about SnapMirror Data Replication is the speed and we are able to replicate and restore, we are also using data replication for redundancy and cross site data protection. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
At this point I am not entirely sure I can come up with any dislikes, we are using SnapMirror Data Replication and SnapVault also and combined they provide a great solution. But saying that with SnapMirror you don’t have automatic fail-over of any sort. You need to break SnapMirror relationship and present data to clients manually. Then synchronise volumes when problem is fixed. This is something that we manually do regularly to insure the fail-over process works. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Snap mirror is useful for to replicate the data to DR site. I like most is the speed of data transfer and also to setup the replication is so easy. Within few mins we can setup the replication and start the data transfer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I dont see any dislike of using snapmirror. One thing couldve automate is to include the share level permissions incase if we activate the DR volume no need to setup the permissions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Snapmirror is a tool which replicate application data from source storage to destination storage. So if by any chance, application and source storage goes down still we can recover our data using destination storage. In short, it is a ZRPO solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
it is ZRPO solution but it is not ZRTO solution which is also a important factor for running application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
