Useful disaster recovery, effective copy replication, but complex deployment
The primary use of the solution is for backup and disaster recovery for medium to large size companies.  The solution's most valuable features are copy replication, instant recovery, and disaster recovery. The solution could be adapted to fit other use cases for smaller companies.…

Simple to install, reliable, and has good technical support
There were some limitations in the product that prompted us to shift away from it. You could only have one AppSync profile per server to target where the data could be replicated to. There were a few specific feature limitations in terms of flexibility that required the development of an alternative. However, that was the only flaw. In relation to, the replication destinations. We wanted to collect data from multiple systems and then replicate it on a single system. AppSync was based on a one-to-one replication footprint, which was the limitation that we had encountered. We needed to combine several systems into one. That was one of the scenarios provided by the solution. I would like to have the ability to bit the same system with multiple AppSync replications would definitely be beneficial to us. And general flexibility enhancements.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The solution's most valuable features are copy replication, instant recovery, and disaster recovery."
"Technical support is excellent, they are extremely helpful and their assistance helped make our deployment process run as smoothly as it did."
"We have received a very good and quick ROI from this solution."
"This product has improved our organization through its flexibility, functionality, and ease of use."
"What I find most valuable about this solution is that it is robust!"
"The product's technical support is very good."
"We have application consistent snaps of SQL mounted to development VM’s daily."
"Simple to use and great product to provide application consistent replica."
"It has excellent performance and reliability, and with a little more flexibility, it could be nearly perfect."
"The EMC RM is a very useful technology for consistent data replicas for a significant application portfolio like MS SQL, MS Exchange, Oracle DB etc."
"In few steps you can configure your replicas without using auxiliary scripts."
"It gave us enough time to do the backup for big databases and mount them in a certain location, from there on tapes."
"However if you wanted a reliable product to work with new or existing EMC products then I would recommend taking a look at Replication Manager."
"The automation of the replication process is the most valuable feature, as we just configure or schedule the replication process once and the work is done automatically."

Cons

"The solution should be offered at a better price."
"I would like to see a scaled down version to cater to SME needs, where the licensing model is exchanged for a pay per use model."
"The solution could be adapted to fit other use cases for smaller companies."
"The solution is quite high."
"I found the solution's initial setup to be very complex and overall deployment was not easy."
"I would like to have the ability to bit the same system with multiple AppSync replications would definitely be beneficial to us. And general flexibility enhancements."
"Simplify implementation."
"It would be helpful if this product has features for transferring to the cloud."
"The product needs to be less complex (compatibility, solution enabler etc.)."
"When I deployed the Replication Manager and detected issues, I found that the technical support was not really helpful because they spent a lot of time to found a hotfix which resolved my problem."
"Yes. Periodically I needed to restart the agent on the client side and sometimes on the server side."
"Mount replica function through EMC RM needs to be faster because when you are using Veritas volumes with mirrors the mount routine is too late (the mount process time is directly proportional the volume size when you are using Veritas Volume Manager (vxvm))."
"There were some limitations in the product that prompted us to shift away from it."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is very effective for the money you spend. They need to have better competent IT department assistants in order to get the best out of the solution."
"I believe we paid them on a yearly basis."
