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

"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 most valuable features include the ease of defining contingency groups and the drag-and-drop functionality, which speeds up our application processes."
"When it works, it is the best product that is available."
"It has improved RTO and RPO."
"Customer Service: Very good, EMC did support us to implement it well and gave useful instructions and lessons to help to maintain it well."
"RecoverPoint's most valuable feature is the automatic failover."
"It is amazing because it is very easy to test with many alternative bookmarks."
"The setups that we have in place are great."
"It takes less time to replicate files between two servers."
"In Version 7.xx the most valuable feature to me is being able to carry out a test full server failover in which case the primary server is still up and running."
"It gives us the possibility to migrate/protect customer servers and data in the simplest way."
"Customer Service: Second to none Technical Support: Second to none"
 

Cons

"The cost of the solution is pretty high. The licensing costs may affect a company's ability to scale."
"Currently the product does not support cascaded replication, only "Y" replication."
"The product should provide integration with new products."
"The support is horrible."
"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."
"I am waiting for block replication with VirtualBox."
"When it comes to storage and backup, that is where scalability problems have affected us."
"Not such a good coverage of the most widely used Linux server distributions, so many issues happen while migrating these servers."
"Yes I encountered issues with deployment. The information provided in the guide just stated about 2 or 3 communication ports but even after these ports are enabled there are still issues with the 2 servers communicating via Double-Take."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"RecoverPoint came free as an add-on to the PowerProtect Data Manager backup software from Dell EMC."
"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."
"The price is moderate."
"Support is an additional subscription."
"It is considered quite costly."
