Pros
"The solution provides continuous data protection.""It excels in duplicating data between two distinct types of storage systems.""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.""When it works, it is the best product that is available.""The most valuable feature we have found in RecoverPoint is its ability to provide the lowest RPO.""The solution is very stable. Once it's installed, many customers forget they even have it.""The solution is now Flash-based, which is better. they moved away from Java.""The tool's most valuable feature is stability."

"Data protection is a valuable feature.""The solution is very stable.""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 technical support is quite good.""The product has good performance.""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.""NetApp SnapMirror's ease of use and reliability are valuable features.""NetApp is one of the best products in this field of storage solutions."

Cons
"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 support is horrible.""It is worth mentioning that this solution is no longer supported, primarily because it doesn't replicate between two different storage systems anymore.""Other hypervisors should be integrated with this system. Other hypervisors should be able to get the benefits of 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.""The product should provide integration with new products.""The cost of the solution is pretty high. The licensing costs may affect a company's ability to scale.""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."

More Dell RecoverPoint Cons →

"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 tool should also work on third-party solutions.""It's necessary to install NetApp simulator to avoid complications.""There is probably some limitations when it comes to the scalability of the solution.""In the next release, I would like to see Data reduction included and WAN optimization.""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.""We have to do manual verifications about the subscriptions often."
