Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I would rate the overall solution a 9.9 out of 10."
"In terms of operational and financial benefits, in case of any disaster, it can recover."

"It has improved RTO and RPO."
"The product does block-level replication very well."
"It has improved RTO and RPO."
"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."
 

Cons

"The cost of the solution is pretty high. The licensing costs may affect a company's ability to scale."
"Other hypervisors should be integrated with this system. Other hypervisors should be able to get the benefits of this solution."

"Other hypervisors should be integrated with this system. Other hypervisors should be able to get the benefits of this solution."
"RecoverPoint's WAN optimization could be improved."
"It is worth mentioning that this solution is no longer supported, primarily because it doesn't replicate between two different storage systems anymore."
"Dell RecoverPoint is affordable for enterprises but not for mid-size organizations due to the required network investment for bandwidth across sites."
"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

"It is considered quite costly."
"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."
