We performed a comparison between Dell RecoverPoint and Fivetran 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."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. Once it's installed, many customers forget they even have it."
"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."
"RecoverPoint's most valuable feature is the automatic failover."
"The tool's most valuable feature is stability."
"It is amazing because it is very easy to test with many alternative bookmarks."
"The portal is very intuitive and easy to use."
"There's the general feature of the platform where it just makes it very easy to integrate different things, but I would say a specific difference is their integration of DBT,."
"The most important feature of the solution is its ability to build data pipelines in less time."
"Its arrays are powerful enough to handle migrations even when the replication is happening in the background, without causing any trouble with the ongoing traffic."
"The ease of usability is the most valuable feature. It's very easy and quick to set up. It also has a central hub as opposed to GoldenGate which is one direct interface. For GoldenGate I would have needed three interfaces whereas with HVR I have a central interface that manages everything."
"For us, Fivetran has been able to scale both in terms of the data we bring into our warehouse and the amount of data that we use as well."
"The general data ingestion is valuable. It's used for a lot of data. It provides about 90% of the data we use in our data warehouse without needing data engineering."
"Fivetran's most valuable feature is replication."
"RecoverPoint's WAN optimization could be improved."
"The product should provide integration with new products."
"Other hypervisors should be integrated with this system. Other hypervisors should be able to get the benefits of this solution."
"The support is horrible."
"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."
"When it comes to storage and backup, that is where scalability problems have affected us."
"RecoverPoint is designed to integrate seamlessly with Dell EMC storage. If you don't have Dell EMC storage, you can't use it with other brands like IBM or HP."
"We experience cost issues because Fivetran is charged on a usage basis. When you reach a certain level, the tool should focus on reducing the costs. The solution is expensive when you are moving gigabytes and petabytes of data. It should also focus more on REST APIs and webhooks."
"This solution needs to improve its real-time data and transformation availability."
"Fivetran is very expensive for data sources with a lot of rows, such as email data. I would like to see cheaper pricing for data sources like that."
"Some of the pain points we're looking at are trying to integrate some of the items in the Microsoft stack, so SharePoint and Excel, and then some of the newer Azure services."
"An in-line data quality checking capability is missing"
"Fivetran should add more connectors because its competitors, like Airbyte, have more connectors."
"The customization could improve because Fivetran gives more thought to people who don't want to manage analytics workflows rather than engineers who want to be able to customize pipelines more thoroughly."
"We use a separate tool for "reverse ETL", which is the opposite of what Fivetran does; it pushes data from your data warehouse back out to business applications. If Fivetran pulls data from those same applications, they should also enable users to push it back. I would love to do both ETL and reverse ETL in the same tool."
