"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."
"It has improved RTO and RPO."
"The product does block-level replication very well."
"The solution is very stable. Once it's installed, many customers forget they even have it."
"It is amazing because it is very easy to test with many alternative bookmarks."
"The solution provides continuous data protection."
"It excels in duplicating data between two distinct types of storage systems."
"The product has good performance."

"The performance and stability are valuable features. It seems to fulfill all the requirements."
"Data protection is a valuable feature."
"The solution is very stable."
"This solution is easy to implement and easy to use."
"The user interface is very easy to manage. The replication is also very easy to set up."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"RecoverPoint's WAN optimization could be improved."
"The cost of the solution is pretty high. The licensing costs may affect a company's ability to scale."
"It is worth mentioning that this solution is no longer supported, primarily because it doesn't replicate between two different storage systems anymore."
"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."
"We must be able to integrate Flash Pool with SnapMirror."
"We have to do manual verifications about the subscriptions often."
"Compression and deduplication could be improved."
"The price needs to be improved."
"It's necessary to install NetApp simulator to avoid complications."
"In the next release, I would like to get an active IP number solution."
"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."
