We performed a comparison between Dell RecoverPoint and NetApp SnapMirror based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Replication solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."RecoverPoint's most valuable feature is the automatic failover."
"It is amazing because it is very easy to test with many alternative bookmarks."
"The solution is now Flash-based, which is better. they moved away from Java."
"The solution is very stable. Once it's installed, many customers forget they even have it."
"The product does block-level replication very well."
"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."
"When it works, it is the best product that is available."
"The most valuable feature we have found in RecoverPoint is its ability to provide the lowest RPO."
"This solution is easy to implement and easy to use."
"NetApp SnapMirror's ease of use and reliability are valuable features."
"There are a lot of features that are excellent. The data compression during the transfer, for example, is good. The replication is great. The durability of the solution and the speed of the data moving from one site to another is impressive."
"The performance and stability are valuable features. It seems to fulfill all the requirements."
"The product has good performance."
"NetApp is one of the best products in this field of storage solutions."
"Data protection is a valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature is the data replication tool. There is also a lot of ability for data migration."
"Considering the speed Dell RecoverPoint can recover data, it would be good if we could replicate data from on-premise to the cloud with this solution."
"I am waiting for block replication with VirtualBox."
"The support is horrible."
"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."
"When it comes to storage and backup, that is where scalability problems have affected us."
"RecoverPoint is designed to integrate seamlessly with Dell EMC storage. If you don't have Dell EMC storage, you can't use it with other brands like IBM or HP."
"It is worth mentioning that this solution is no longer supported, primarily because it doesn't replicate between two different storage systems anymore."
"Integration with VMware is the only thing we need to improve. Another feature I'd like to see is the ability to convert management to HTML. And the integration should also be done on the same level."
"The price could be cheaper."
"We have to do manual verifications about the subscriptions often."
"We have different families of storage, such as the E-Series and Flash systems, but NetApp cannot be set up between them."
"At the moment, we are not using the synchronous mirror, but we can implement the synchronous mirror. The only thing is that it needs another license. This is the same issue we have with business continuity. It needs another license to be implemented. You need too many separate licenses for the features. They should add some of the aspects of the premium bundle into the basic bundle. Sometimes our customers choose other replication services because of the initial cost of the licenses."
"There is probably some limitations when it comes to the scalability of the solution."
"The tool should also work on third-party solutions."
"The user interface could be simplified. They might want to have fewer options on it, to make it less complicated. There are a lot of options we never use ourselves. They're often very specialized and don't apply to us."
"The price needs to be improved."
