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."When it works, it is the best product that is available."
"The tool's most valuable feature is stability."
"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."
"It is amazing because it is very easy to test with many alternative bookmarks."
"It excels in duplicating data between two distinct types of storage systems."
"The solution is very stable. Once it's installed, many customers forget they even have it."
"The solution provides continuous data protection."
"The tool seamlessly moves data over the network without putting pressure on the network."
"The technology enables us to have a safe backup."
"NetApp is one of the best products in this field of storage solutions."
"The solution is very stable."
"The product has good performance."
"With SnapMirror, the solution is the feature itself that is most valuable. It just replicates the data. It's very difficult to speak about, in the sense that it's similar to the features of a wheel. It is round and it's a part of an automobile."
"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 technical support is quite good."
"It is worth mentioning that this solution is no longer supported, primarily because it doesn't replicate between two different storage systems anymore."
"The support is horrible."
"I am waiting for block replication with VirtualBox."
"The product should provide integration with new products."
"The cost of the solution is pretty high. The licensing costs may affect a company's ability to scale."
"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."
"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's necessary to install NetApp simulator to avoid complications."
"It is not as efficient as it needs to be. It doesn't compress the data really well when it is forwarded to a secondary site. The download performance could be better."
"The solution's dashboard and reporting could be improved."
"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."
"We have to do manual verifications about the subscriptions often."
"In the next release, I would like to get an active IP number solution."
"The new coursework models need to be improved. The bandwidth monitoring could also be better."
