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

"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 now Flash-based, which is better. they moved away from Java."
"The solution provides continuous data protection."
"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."
"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."
"Dell RecoverPoint offers cost savings in the long term."
"In terms of operational and financial benefits, in case of any disaster, it can recover."
"Product is self-payable, and due to the data protection provided to the IT environment, we can reach very secure operational levels."
"It gives us the possibility to migrate/protect customer servers and data in the simplest way."
"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."
"Customer Service: Second to none Technical Support: Second to none"
 

Cons

"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 cost of the solution is pretty high. The licensing costs may affect a company's ability to scale."
"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."
"Dell RecoverPoint can be improved by virtualizing it, which would use less storage and enhance performance."
"I am waiting for block replication with VirtualBox."
"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."
"Dell RecoverPoint is affordable for enterprises but not for mid-size organizations due to the required network investment for bandwidth across sites."
"The support is horrible."
"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."
"Not such a good coverage of the most widely used Linux server distributions, so many issues happen while migrating these servers."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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