The automation of the replication process is the most valuable feature, as we just configure or schedule the replication process once and the work is done automatically.

The EMC RM is a very useful technology for consistent data replicas for a significant application portfolio like MS SQL, MS Exchange, Oracle DB etc.

It gave us enough time to do the backup for big databases and mount them in a certain location, from there on tapes.

When I deployed the Replication Manager and detected issues, I found that the technical support was not really helpful because they spent a lot of time to found a hotfix which resolved my problem.

The product needs to be less complex (compatibility, solution enabler etc.).

Mount replica function through EMC RM needs to be faster because when you are using Veritas volumes with mirrors the mount routine is too late (the mount process time is directly proportional the volume size when you are using Veritas Volume Manager (vxvm)).

Yes. Periodically I needed to restart the agent on the client side and sometimes on the server side.

Each replication manager installation can only handle so many records. If you have over a certain number of bookmarks or snaps, the GUI becomes un-usable.

I would like to have the ability to bit the same system with multiple AppSync replications would definitely be beneficial to us. And general flexibility enhancements.
