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."RecoverPoint's most valuable feature is the automatic failover."
"The tool's most valuable feature is stability."
"The solution provides continuous data protection."
"It excels in duplicating data between two distinct types of storage systems."
"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."
"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 solution is very stable."
"The performance and stability are valuable features. It seems to fulfill all the requirements."
"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."
"This solution is easy to implement and easy to use."
"NetApp is one of the best products in this field of storage solutions."
"NetApp SnapMirror's ease of use and reliability are valuable features."
"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."
"The support is horrible."
"RecoverPoint's WAN optimization could be improved."
"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."
"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."
"When it comes to storage and backup, that is where scalability problems have affected us."
"The product should provide integration with new products."
"I am waiting for block replication with VirtualBox."
"We must be able to integrate Flash Pool with SnapMirror."
"We have to do manual verifications about the subscriptions often."
"In the next release, I would like to see Data reduction included and WAN optimization."
"There is probably some limitations when it comes to the scalability of the solution."
"The price could be cheaper."
"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 new coursework models need to be improved. The bandwidth monitoring could also be better."
"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."
