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."The solution is very stable. Once it's installed, many customers forget they even have it."
"The most valuable feature we have found in RecoverPoint is its ability to provide the lowest RPO."
"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."
"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."
"The solution provides continuous data protection."
"It has improved RTO and RPO."
"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."
"The tool's most valuable feature is stability."
"NetApp SnapMirror's ease of use and reliability are valuable features."
"Data protection is a valuable feature."
"The technology enables us to have a safe backup."
"The technical support is quite good."
"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."
"The performance and stability are valuable features. It seems to fulfill all the requirements."
"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."
"When it comes to storage and backup, that is where scalability problems have affected us."
"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."
"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."
"Other hypervisors should be integrated with this system. Other hypervisors should be able to get the benefits of this solution."
"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."
"The support is horrible."
"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."
"If they can make the application free like other vendors or include it in all the packages, it would be great."
"We must be able to integrate Flash Pool with SnapMirror."
"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 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 price needs to be improved."
"The solution's dashboard and reporting could be improved."
"The price could be cheaper."
"In the next release, I would like to see Data reduction included and WAN optimization."
