ASR for DR, HA and Migration requirements..!!
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Microsoft Azure Site Recovery from other similar products?
ASR helps organizations to migrate their onprem workloads to Azure and also helps in maintaining HA and DR for VMs that need to be available round the clock with minimal downtime and recovery point objective which other products are not providing with the amount that's being spent on ASR.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
The way it helps in replicating workloads be it physical or virtual to a different region by handling app or vm protection in a controlled manner and can easily help monitor the progress.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Not many may agree, costing per VM workload being 25$ will be painful for organizations who are looking for HA/DR which i feel is kind of a low light.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Critical workloads be it VDIs or app hosting machines or web servers that would need maximum availability during seasonal requirements, ASR comes in handy to broaden the scope of availability by spending a bit extra.
