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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features include the ease of defining contingency groups and the drag-and-drop functionality, which speeds up our application processes."
"The tool's most valuable feature is stability."
"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."
"Dell RecoverPoint offers cost savings in the long term."
"Customer Service: Very good, EMC did support us to implement it well and gave useful instructions and lessons to help to maintain it well."
"The technical support for Dell RecoverPoint is excellent."
"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."
"RecoverPoint's most valuable feature is the automatic failover."

"It is fully featured. It has allowed me to do everything I wanted to do."
"Customer Service: We have a support contract with Jumpmind. The support resources are readily available and provide expert support to any questions."
 

Cons

"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."
"The product should provide integration with new products."
"RecoverPoint's WAN optimization could be improved."
"The new Gen5 appliances have adopted the Unisphere management interface and it is written for Adobe Flash, which in my experience, is very slow and makes administration cumbersome at times."
"The cost of the solution is pretty high. The licensing costs may affect a company's ability to scale."
"In the future, I would like Dell RecoverPoint to evolve as an orchestration tool that can integrate with other replication tools such as Microsoft native replication and Oracle Data Guard."
"I am waiting for block replication with VirtualBox."
"Currently the product does not support cascaded replication, only "Y" replication."
"The user interface could improve. We are looking at some cloud-based databases, and I don't think they support that."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"RecoverPoint came free as an add-on to the PowerProtect Data Manager backup software from Dell EMC."
"Support is an additional subscription."
"While I recommend Dell EMC, it depends on your specific use case. Licensing is perpetual, meaning you buy it once."
"It is considered quite costly."
"The price is moderate."
"The product is fairly priced."
