Not having to worry about getting Exchange up and running in a DR situation is well worth one major outage every now and again.

@jdd48...Amen to that. We moved email to Office 365 in 2011. This is the third major outage I remember in 7+ years. None lasted more than a half of a business day. For those who actually managed on-prem Exchange servers/farms back in the day, there is a large tolerance for days like today. Compared to what we get from and the little we pay to Microsoft, I could never justify to our bean counters (or myself) moving back to an on-prem solution. It just doesn't make sense for most SMBs including the one I work for. My experience with Microsoft Office 365 products overall has been terrific, FWIW.

If you have a direct circuit with a big enough pipe to your DR site and have a VMWare architecture utilizing Site Recovery Manager....it is actually pretty painless.
