VMware Live Recovery Reviews & Product Details

VMware Live Recovery is a solution for protecting your private cloud against current cyber security threats. The solution can provide you VMware Live Cyber Recovery solution and VMware Live Site Recovery solution. The main part VLCR provides ability to have secure and isolated environment for your VMs to run in case of compromitation. It it gets implemented quite easily - easpecially in the target site, where everything is manageg by VMware. On source site you just need to deploy Connector which integrates to your vSphere environemnts and connects to cloud.

The configuration is done from cloud console and enables you to configure features around the VLR solution. Once the environemnt and replication/security characteristics of your workload are set up, the replication is done on periodic basis which you also choose.

Support is provided based on bundles and mainly is about troubleshooting the Connector appliance and in most cases it is about network connections Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The support can be the pain point as with many other vendors. There it is a little bit simpler as VMware has its own access to the target site so they are able to check some things by themselves.

You have to also consider the fact that this is another VMware solution and as such can suffer to some common issues targeting the platform as a whole. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ease of use, you don't need to be an IT expert to configure and use it, the interface is very intuitive, another point that I consider is when I need to recover my data everything happens very quickly, I don't spend a lot of time down, and knowing that I have a plan B in case something bad happens makes me feel more at ease when working.

The tool is strongly integrated into the VMware ecosystem, which ends up limiting me from using it in conjunction with tools from other manufacturers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My time using vmware live recovery was short in my projects as a system admin in germany so I did not get to play with every feature during our companies trial run. However what I did find was a seemless and robust system that is fast and effiecient file level recoversystem, granted my solution was good enough fortunately to use it, but as far as saving one of my test VMs I found it to be VERY good! Its suuper user friendly making it easy enough to teach it to my other sysadmins on site and work with third party IT solutions companies, It has allot of storage support options and the documentation is fairly comprehensive enough to guide me through each independant use cases. I loved my short time with Live Recovery only if you use VMware exclusively! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only major downside is it is extreemly resource heavy on large scale recoveries. which i guess is somewhat expected. And also I wish I didnt use other solutions like proxmox cause this within itself is a great product! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would say the cost might be on higher side and and the implementation seems to be little complex. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This is a software-demarcated solution makes easiness deployed on hypervisor. The compound conditions of this product are companionable. Easiness and steady product with tractability in DR checks and customization. Indisputable backup solutions which provides broad assimilation with storage dealers.

Charges are constantly a concern for any cloud services and the same might be on greater side. Works on higher bandwidth and this can be enhanced with lite version so it works in lower bandwidth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

SRM is very easy to get deployed. Due to various bugs, I have had to redeploy the product many times over the past few years and with three sites I am able to deploy the product in about 30 minutes total. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Frequent bugs can take down the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
