Arpio review: orchestrated cloud DR failover for AWS and Azure

Cloud DR orchestration

Short answer

Arpio replicates infrastructure and data and orchestrates failover across regions and accounts on AWS and Azure, with failover tests in every tier. It scores 7.5 and ranks 1 of 5, helped by published prices and RPO targets and held back by no published drift detection or change history and no infrastructure-as-code output.

Editorial assessment, 0 to 10 per criterion, one decimal. Weighted total = sum of (score x weight) / 100, shown to one decimal. It measures fit for getting cloud infrastructure back quickly and completely after an outage, a bad change or a region loss. It is not a measure of overall product quality.

Where does Arpio score well, and where does it fall short?

Scores well

Top or tied top in this set on recovery orchestration, region and account loss, published recovery targets, recovery testing and pricing transparency.

The most complete failover package here: orchestration, cross-region and cross-account failover, failover tests in every tier and automated failback in Premium.
The only vendor in this set that publishes every tier's price and RPO target.

Falls short

Lowest or tied lowest in this set on bad-change rollback.

No drift detection or configuration change history is published, so undoing a bad change is not a documented strength.
Recovery does not produce infrastructure as code, and Google Cloud is not stated.
