Has improved compliance tracking and reduced recovery time for on-premise environments
The product includes a compliance management feature. Through the Dell account manager, customization is made, as the automated orchestration feature in the product helps to minimize human error during the recovery process. We send a Live Optics invitation to customers, and this file collects data from the customer, including input and output per second and the uses of capacity, disk, and core used in the environment. We collect this data by the Live Optics tools and send this report to the account manager, who can size the solution after that. The installation process for Dell Cloud Disaster Recovery is easy, and we already have the experience for installation and implementation. If we need any help, we have engineers in the distributor company in Egypt. We already have the Dell deployment option, which can be offered from day one from the Dell configurator, so implementation is not a problem.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The technical support from Dell Technologies is the best option."
"Dell RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines offers key features like any point-in-time recovery without needing scheduled snapshots."
"The product's initial setup phase was quite easy to install."
"RecoverPoint replicates workloads fast."
"Overall the product is really good."
"The most valuable features are the data center recovery administration and the time of recovery."
"The generalization of the journals allows us to go back in time and choose the snapshot suitable for us. We can grab it as needed."
"RecoverPoint replicates workloads fast."
"The workload can be moved directly if the disaster site is the main site."
 

Cons

"A negative aspect of Dell Cloud Disaster Recovery is that it requires maintaining stock. In the Middle East, it takes much more time to get this product to the customer, between four and six months, which is a long time for the customer to wait."
"In some cases, the response times could improve, but we haven't had issues with their support."
"I would like to see integration with EMC NetWorker in the next release."
"Maybe integration with Kubernetes for OpenShift would be helpful."
"Although we can change the IP address, it would be good to have some other sort of orchestration to make life easier to manage when we failover."
"I would like to see integration with EMC NetWorker in the next release."
"In the next release of this software, I would like to see options that help to decrease the bandwidth required, such as compressing the data."
"The solution is not easy to use. It's actually quite hard."
"The solution currently supports only VMware. There is increasing demand for compatibility with other hypervisors, such as Hyper V and KVM Proxmox. Additionally, licensing has become less flexible and more expensive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The tool is expensive. If one means cheaply priced and ten means expensive, I rate the tool's price as a seven."
"It was a part of a backup solution. So, it was free for us."
"This is an expensive product."
"There is a license required for this solution and the pricing depends on how many virtual machines you have."
"Pricing-wise, it is pretty much fair for any customer who only has a VMware environment. Licensing is based on the number of VMs that you want to protect at any given point in time. Licensing is not based on size."
"This is not a very cheap solution and compared to others, it is expensive."
