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.

It very easy to setup and manage unless you have network problems.
There were restrictions when migrating from older to newer versions of Windows. As soon as the target disk is mounted on the higher level of Windows, NTFS file system will automatically be upgraded by Windows and will no longer be compatible with the source system. This means that migration cannot be resumed and a full refresh was needed to re-synchronize the source and target disks.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is now Flash-based, which is better. they moved away from Java."
"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."
"I would rate the overall solution a 9.9 out of 10."
"It can replicate data from a distant location and it can scan it as well. It has continuous data replication with almost no data loss."
"The most valuable feature we have found in RecoverPoint is its ability to provide the lowest RPO."
"The tool's most valuable feature is stability."
"The product does block-level replication very well."
"The solution is very stable. Once it's installed, many customers forget they even have it."
"TDMF resolved these problems with easy and fast data migrations."
 

Cons

"The support is horrible."
"Dell RecoverPoint can be improved by virtualizing it, which would use less storage and enhance performance."
"The initial setup is complex."
"It is worth mentioning that this solution is no longer supported, primarily because it doesn't replicate between two different storage systems anymore."
"Dell RecoverPoint is affordable for enterprises but not for mid-size organizations due to the required network investment for bandwidth across sites."
"Other hypervisors should be integrated with this system. Other hypervisors should be able to get the benefits of this solution."
"Currently the product does not support cascaded replication, only "Y" replication."
"The interfaces could be improved for better ease of use. There's also room for improvement in direct compatibility with other solutions."
"Mobility Groups crashes sometimes and a re-synchronization were needed"
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"While I recommend Dell EMC, it depends on your specific use case. Licensing is perpetual, meaning you buy it once."
"The product is fairly priced."
"Support is an additional subscription."
"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."
