Continuous data protection guarantees data safety during outages and disasters
Based on my experience, I do recommend Dell RecoverPoint to other businesses. The environment requiring Dell RecoverPoint, such as banks or telcos where data equals money, cannot afford to lose data. The overall solution rating is eight, considering the competition from one or two more OEMs giving a tough time to Dell RecoverPoint.

Database Administrator at Cartrack
Beneficial continual replication, helpful support, and high replication performance
The most valuable features of EDB Postgres Replication Server are the many in-built functionalities, such as streaming. When compared to others solutions it is highly secure and does not have any breakage in replication. The replication is very fast. Additionally, in other solutions, the databases need to have a lot of manual intervention but with EDB Postgres Replication Server it is not needed.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"In terms of operational and financial benefits, in case of any disaster, it can recover."
"We use RecoverPoint for disaster recovery and asynchronous replication, and we use the application at a block level, not the software level, and this has been tested and is very durable."
"It is amazing because it is very easy to test with many alternative bookmarks."
"We have been able to achieve a very low RTO and RPO with near real-time replication policies and adequately sized journals for a limited recovery time requirement to bring systems online as well as a great recovery point to roll back to in the event of a disaster or outage."
"The solution is very stable. Once it's installed, many customers forget they even have it."
"I would rate the overall solution a 9.9 out of 10."
"With RecoverPoint, we can instantly mount an image Point in Time in case of a problem, and the Recovery Time Objective was improved for sure."
"The setups that we have in place are great."

Cons

"It is worth mentioning that this solution is no longer supported, primarily because it doesn't replicate between two different storage systems anymore."
"The initial setup is complex."
"Dell RecoverPoint is considered an older technology and is not recommended for new deployments by Dell EMC. It requires double the storage capacity for source and target storage areas, which creates a heavy burden on storage resources."
"I am waiting for block replication with VirtualBox."
"The interfaces could be improved for better ease of use. There's also room for improvement in direct compatibility with other solutions."
"Other hypervisors should be integrated with this system. Other hypervisors should be able to get the benefits of this solution."
"Integration with VMware is the only thing we need to improve. Another feature I'd like to see is the ability to convert management to HTML. And the integration should also be done on the same level."
"Dell RecoverPoint can be improved by virtualizing it, which would use less storage and enhance performance."
"We tried to set up a reverse master-master set up, but currently, it is not available."
"We tried to set up a reverse master-master set up, but currently, it is not available. it can be done only via logical replication using a paid version of BDR or some other technology. They allow like master-master. MySQL has already supported master-master and streaming."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"RecoverPoint came free as an add-on to the PowerProtect Data Manager backup software from Dell EMC."
"The price is moderate."
"It is considered quite costly."
"The product is fairly priced."
"While I recommend Dell EMC, it depends on your specific use case. Licensing is perpetual, meaning you buy it once."
"Support is an additional subscription."
"We have used the paid version of the EDB Postgres Replication Server and the license payments were annual."
