Siemens and Dorman seem to be good replacements. And the install instructions linked above are very good.

You replaced just the motor and it still works? You got lucky

The RIGHT way to do it is to put in a new motor and regulator together. Its SOOOOOOO much easier to do as an assembly. Plus one bad move and that spring comes unwound - now your taking the regulator out anyways. Just do them both together and only have the door apart once, save yourself some trouble.

There is nothing wrong with replacing only the motor, many of us leave the stock regulator without issues. I would not call this lucky, I would say it's extremely common for it to work out fine this way.

It is super easy to replace just the motor once you drill the access holes to remove the motor rivits.
