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."
"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 now Flash-based, which is better. they moved away from Java."
"It has improved RTO and RPO."
"The tool's most valuable feature is stability."
"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 excels in duplicating data between two distinct types of storage systems."
"The technology enables us to have a safe backup."
"The tool seamlessly moves data over the network without putting pressure on the network."
"The most valuable feature is the data replication tool. There is also a lot of ability for data migration."
"The user interface is very easy to manage. The replication is also very easy to set up."
"The technical support is quite good."
"The solution is very stable."
"Data protection is a valuable feature."
"NetApp SnapMirror's ease of use and reliability are valuable features."
"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."
"Other hypervisors should be integrated with this system. Other hypervisors should be able to get the benefits of this solution."
"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."
"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 cost of the solution is pretty high. The licensing costs may affect a company's ability to scale."
"When it comes to storage and backup, that is where scalability problems have affected us."
"I am waiting for block replication with VirtualBox."
"We must be able to integrate Flash Pool with SnapMirror."
"There is probably some limitations when it comes to the scalability of the solution."
"If they can make the application free like other vendors or include it in all the packages, it would be great."
"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."
"In the next release, I would like to see Data reduction included and WAN optimization."
"The new coursework models need to be improved. The bandwidth monitoring could also be better."
"The price could be cheaper."
"Compression and deduplication could be improved."
