Key learnings from peers

Valuable Features

  • "We've found the support to be very good overall."
  • "The feature of taking snapshots from the replicated volumes has allowed us to use them for DR testing to validate the application consistent point of recovery."

Room for Improvement

  • "If you are new to the product, the initial setup might be a bit difficult."
  • "The main pain point that we experienced is during device creation. For every newly provisioned volume, creating replication relationships between production and DR site, creating snapshots for third copy at DR site, and configuring them in appropriate replication groups and device groups means that there are lot of steps involved and a lot of room for error. There has to be a lot of checks and balances which need to be incorporated to make sure that the solution is set up correctly."
These insights are based on the in-depth reviews provided by peers to help you make a better buying decision.
