Cons
"The support is horrible.""When it comes to storage and backup, that is where scalability problems have affected us.""The cost of the solution is pretty high. The licensing costs may affect a company's ability to scale.""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.""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.""It is worth mentioning that this solution is no longer supported, primarily because it doesn't replicate between two different storage systems anymore."

More Dell RecoverPoint Cons →

"We have different families of storage, such as the E-Series and Flash systems, but NetApp cannot be set up between them.""Compression and deduplication could be improved.""The new coursework models need to be improved. The bandwidth monitoring could also be better.""In the next release, I would like to see Data reduction included and WAN optimization.""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.""It's necessary to install NetApp simulator to avoid complications.""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."
