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.

Reliable live streaming has increased our continuous viewership and maintained audience trust
Uplynk is deployed in my organization on-premises and is fully on-site. Uplynk supports our business continuity or disaster recovery plans because it's really well protected and it doesn't lag or crash when there's a spike in all areas. Uplynk helps us comply with regulatory requirements in our industry by keeping us live. Uplynk integrates really well with other systems or tools we use. You need a whole team to really run Uplynk because there are so many moving pieces, the code, the app, and other components. My experience with Uplynk's analytics or reporting capabilities is that they are especially helpful to update the teams and our stakeholders. I would describe Uplynk's flexibility or customization options as really easy, really customizable, and it integrates in many areas. Uplynk helps me deliver content to different devices or platforms by allowing us to upload on and stay live on tablets, computers, and televisions. It allows us to stay live to get those viewerships. Uplynk is a software that saves time, but you need a solid team to run Uplynk to ensure viewership and everything is moving because there are many pieces to keep. I advise others looking into using Uplynk that it takes many different areas: coding, integration, APIs, and all that. It takes a team to run it, and you need to be a big company. If you're streaming and doing all that at a big scale, use it. If you're on a smaller scale, Uplynk is going to be really hard for you to manage. It's not something that's simple; just use the ones that are basic out there if you're an influencer and things like that. I would rate this product a nine overall.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product does block-level replication very well."
"It excels in duplicating data between two distinct types of storage systems."
"Product is self-payable, and due to the data protection provided to the IT environment, we can reach very secure operational levels."
"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."
"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."
"The image backup feature is great. For example, if you set the journal to take a backup every ten minutes, it will create a snapshot or pointer every ten minutes for as long as you need."
"It is amazing because it is very easy to test with many alternative bookmarks."
"The tool's most valuable feature is the Uplynk platform for streaming purposes."
"It's super easy to use and integrate with."
"The Rules Engine V4 is the most valuable feature."
"Uplynk has positively impacted our organization by bringing us more viewership, as it does not glitch and stays stable during spikes in viewership, leading to approximately a 15 to 20 percent increase in viewership because there's no lag and nothing fails."
"Without EdgeCast, our website was taking 10 to 15 seconds to load; with EdgeCast, it loads under five seconds and it's a good product."
"The product is easy to use and easy to implement."
"The customer support and service responsiveness were excellent."
"I recommend this solution because, for me, it's one of the most efficient and performant CDN operators."
 

Cons

"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."
"It is worth mentioning that this solution is no longer supported, primarily because it doesn't replicate between two different storage systems anymore."
"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."
"Currently the product does not support cascaded replication, only "Y" replication."
"Scalability is one of the few drawbacks of this thing. They're still using Flash Player to manage, and now it is extremely slow."
"The solution normally supports only specific types and amounts of storage. If it could be increased to support much larger amounts or a wider range, it could fetch a bigger market."
"The interfaces could be improved for better ease of use. There's also room for improvement in direct compatibility with other solutions."
"The comparable features that we are looking at fits into Cloudflare's free version, as opposed to Verizon EdgeCast, which we are paying for."
"The pricing was initially very expensive."
"The web interface of the Verizon Edgecast portal is very old. It's not user-friendly, slow, and it is missing some valuable features like the ability to make bulk changes."
"We could not create more than 15 custom rules."
"The tool needs to resolve its lack of innovation."
"In the next release, I would like to see more global endpoints for their CDN and a lower price."
"To improve Uplynk, it should be made more user-friendly, as it takes a lot of moving pieces to make it work."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is considered quite costly."
"The price is moderate."
"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."
"The product is fairly priced."
"When I modeled it out, we are spending somewhere between $600 to $800 a month with Verizon EdgeCast."
"Be careful about the options because to have all the features can be very expensive."
"The product is cheaper compared to other solutions."
