Failover and failback features enhance data protection but interfaces need improvement
I use Dell RecoverPoint as a backup and recovery device for my clients. It provides comprehensive backup and recovery solutions The failover and failback options are the most impactful features of Dell RecoverPoint in terms of data protection. Additionally, the ability to take point-in-time…

Cost-efficient, highly scalable, and installable on different types of hardware
They could improve on support a little bit. We have not had to engage their support much, but when we do have issues, it can take longer to get things resolved. We are pretty lenient as we do a lot of IT support ourselves. We are not very hard on support organizations, but when a customer has a support issue, it would be easier if the support processes were a little bit more automated. It would be beneficial to have an easier way to upload diagnostic dump files. They can make it easy for the customer to collect the diagnostic data. There can be some kind of monitoring solutions to alert users to issues with the appliance or software, making it easy for customers to monitor their systems in the field. This is especially critical because it stores customers' backups, and a failure can have significant business impacts. If a customer does not have the backups and has a disaster, they can be out of business, so monitoring is key.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"The solution is very stable. Once it's installed, many customers forget they even have it."
"I would rate its stability almost a nine out of ten."
"The setups that we have in place are great."
"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."
"It excels in duplicating data between two distinct types of storage systems."
"The technical support for Dell RecoverPoint is excellent."
"Deduplication is the most valuable feature. It saves us a lot of space. When we back up 100 terabytes of data, after dedupe, it only uses maybe five to six terabytes for the disk space in QoreStor."
"QoreStor has helped to reduce our backup storage requirements on-premise by at least 90%."
"The features we use for the data deduplication are nice because we're able to back up a much larger amount of data, yet it doesn't necessarily take up that much data on the devices."
"Not having to be onsite to swap tapes on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis, alone, has really paid for its usage through the savings in time."
"This software solution can be installed on many different types of hardware, which makes it very flexible. We can run it on virtual machines or virtual servers, providing convenience for solutions of varying sizes, from small to large."
"I would rate QoreStor a ten out of ten for what it offers for the price."
"QoreStor has helped us to reduce our backup storage requirements on-premises. We've been using the same devices for quite a while, and so it lets us keep using them as opposed to having to rip out all that hardware and create a new on-prem solution. The advantage here is even if we had to retire the hardware tomorrow, the QoreStor part doesn't change. We just have to have additional hardware and put the solution back on whatever hardware we pick and it'll do the same thing."
"The dedupe and compression are pretty extreme. On disk, we're getting dedupe rates of up to 65 percent of data and compression of 34 percent. When you go to the cloud, it's more like 76 percent for dedupe and almost 50 percent for compression."
 

Cons

"The cost of the solution is pretty high. The licensing costs may affect a company's ability to scale."
"The initial setup is complex."
"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."
"Other hypervisors should be integrated with this system. Other hypervisors should be able to get the benefits of this solution."
"I am waiting for block replication with VirtualBox."
"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."
"RecoverPoint's WAN optimization could be improved."
"When it comes to storage and backup, that is where scalability problems have affected us."
"In terms of improvement, we would like to have an Air Gap feature to prevent a virus from attaching to something. So that when we don't do a backup, we want the QoreStor to stay offline. It would be a nice feature to have."
"The installation could use improvement. The initial installation was a little touchy and it's not really user-installable. You have to have a connection to support to install."
"The installation could use improvement. The initial installation was a little touchy and it's not really user-installable."
"There can be some kind of monitoring solutions to alert users to issues with the appliance or software, making it easy for customers to monitor their systems in the field."
"In terms of improvement, we would like to have an Air Gap feature to prevent a virus from attaching to something."
"Support is one point of improvement for Quest QoreStor. Support is sometimes not adequate."
"They need to increase their maximum capacity."
"Overall, I am happy with this solution, but a way to export configuration settings would be beneficial."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The price is moderate."
"RecoverPoint came free as an add-on to the PowerProtect Data Manager backup software from Dell EMC."
"Its pricing model is very attractive. You have one price, and you get everything from QoreStor."
"The pricing is good. It is competitive for a managed services provider. I like the ability to pay by the terabyte, allowing for an incremental cost that we and our customers can afford, so the solution grows with the customer."
"Quest QoreStor's pricing is affordable. We evaluated Veeam, a well-known company for backup solutions, but found their pricing to be quite high. Veeam's price was almost double. For us, Quest QoreStor is very affordable."
"The cost is per terabyte, and overall, the cost was reasonable when compared to some competitors."
