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."The most valuable feature we have found in RecoverPoint is its ability to provide the lowest RPO."
"RecoverPoint's most valuable feature is the automatic failover."
"The tool's most valuable feature is stability."
"We use RecoverPoint for disaster recovery and asynchronous replication, and we use the application at a block level, not the software level. This has been tested, and it's very durable."
"The solution is very stable. Once it's installed, many customers forget they even have it."
"It has improved RTO and RPO."
"The solution is now Flash-based, which is better. they moved away from Java."
"When it works, it is the best product that is available."
"NetApp is one of the best products in this field of storage solutions."
"NetApp SnapMirror's ease of use and reliability are valuable features."
"The technical support is quite good."
"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 tool seamlessly moves data over the network without putting pressure on the network."
"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."
"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."
"The support is horrible."
"The product should provide integration with new products."
"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."
"RecoverPoint's WAN optimization could be improved."
"Other hypervisors should be integrated with this system. Other hypervisors should be able to get the benefits of this solution."
"When it comes to storage and backup, that is where scalability problems have affected us."
"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."
"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."
"The price needs to be improved."
"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."
"We must be able to integrate Flash Pool with SnapMirror."
"It's necessary to install NetApp simulator to avoid complications."
"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 solution's dashboard and reporting could be improved."
"There is probably some limitations when it comes to the scalability of the solution."
