We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.

Pros
"It excels in duplicating data between two distinct types of storage systems.""It is amazing because it is very easy to test with many alternative bookmarks.""The image backup feature is great. For example, if you set the journal to take a backup every ten minutes, it will create a snapshot or pointer every ten minutes for as long as you need.""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.""RecoverPoint's most valuable feature is the automatic failover.""The product does block-level replication very well.""It has improved RTO and RPO.""The solution is now Flash-based, which is better. they moved away from Java."

Cons
"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.""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.""I am waiting for block replication with VirtualBox.""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.""The support is horrible.""RecoverPoint's WAN optimization could be improved."

More Dell RecoverPoint Cons →

"In the next release, I would like to see Data reduction included and WAN optimization.""In the next release, I would like to get an active IP number solution.""There is probably some limitations when it comes to the scalability of the solution.""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.""Compression and deduplication could be improved.""We must be able to integrate Flash Pool with SnapMirror.""The solution's dashboard and reporting could be improved.""We have to do manual verifications about the subscriptions often."
