Compare the approaches.
Look beyond a feature list. Compare operating models, recovery destinations, and the questions each approach raises.

¹ Editorial interpretation. ² Listed footprints and regions do not establish contracted recovery capacity. Service tiers differ; follow Details & sources for the supporting information. See each profile for its review date.
This is a comparison of service approaches, not a performance ranking. Recovery objectives, supported workloads, service scope, and actual costs must be validated in a proposal and a recovery test.
Make the comparison concrete: ask each candidate to recover the same application and document the elapsed time, data recovered, user connectivity, and full cost.
