We performed a comparison between Dell RecoverPoint and NetApp Snapshot 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."When it works, it is the best product that is available."
"The solution provides continuous data protection."
"The product does block-level replication very well."
"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."
"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 solution is very stable. Once it's installed, many customers forget they even have it."
"The tool's most valuable feature is stability."
"It excels in duplicating data between two distinct types of storage systems."
"It doesn't occupy a lot of space and is very easy to use once you schedule the snapshots."
"Compared to the traditional way we did backups, with Snapshot it takes us less time. It has improved my organization by saving us time."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"The solution is fast and it doesn't use any disc space at all. You can also take as many snapshots as you like. These are the solution's most valuable features."
"It centralizes your data."
"It is a very scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The replication and SV protocol features are valuable."
"From a functional standpoint, it's been, pretty much bulletproof. I have never gone to a snapshot and not been able to do what I needed to do."
"I am waiting for block replication with VirtualBox."
"It is worth mentioning that this solution is no longer supported, primarily because it doesn't replicate between two different storage systems anymore."
"The support is horrible."
"The cost of the solution is pretty high. The licensing costs may affect a company's ability to scale."
"When it comes to storage and backup, that is where scalability problems have affected us."
"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 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's WAN optimization could be improved."
"I would like some sort of notification that lets me know when a snapshot is done or not done."
"If your data is more dynamic and changes frequently, you need more granular retention levels and need to save it for a longer duration, then this becomes a real challenge."
"The solution needs to ensure it has higher availability or business continuity."
"The price could be improved a little bit."
"The initial setup process of NetApp Snapshot is not easy and needs improvement."
"The initial setup of NetApp Snapshot is not straightforward. It's not something that you can do just by clicking on the next step button. It has to be designed and it has to be implemented according to your network capabilities and the use case scenario."
"The company could update their products more regularly."
"The licensing cost could be improved."
