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."The product does block-level replication very well."
"The solution is very stable. Once it's installed, many customers forget they even have it."
"RecoverPoint's most valuable feature is the automatic failover."
"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 can replicate data from a distant location and it can scan it as well. It has continuous data replication with almost no data loss."
"It is amazing because it is very easy to test with many alternative bookmarks."
"The most valuable feature we have found in RecoverPoint is its ability to provide the lowest RPO."
"When it works, it is the best product that is available."
"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."
"The performance and stability are valuable features. It seems to fulfill all the requirements."
"Overall, the product is very good. It's an easy to use tool."
"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 product has good performance."
"Data protection is a valuable feature."
"They have a very effective dashboard and good reports."
"The technical support is quite good."
"It is worth mentioning that this solution is no longer supported, primarily because it doesn't replicate between two different storage systems anymore."
"When it comes to storage and backup, that is where scalability problems have affected us."
"Other hypervisors should be integrated with this system. Other hypervisors should be able to get the benefits of this solution."
"The support is horrible."
"RecoverPoint's WAN optimization could be improved."
"I am waiting for block replication with VirtualBox."
"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 cost of the solution is pretty high. The licensing costs may affect a company's ability to scale."
"The new coursework models need to be improved. The bandwidth monitoring could also be better."
"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."
"The solution's dashboard and reporting could be improved."
"Compression and deduplication could be improved."
"The price could be cheaper."
"We must be able to integrate Flash Pool with SnapMirror."
"The price needs to be improved."
"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."
