We performed a comparison between Dell AppSync, Dell RecoverPoint, and Dell SRDF (Symmetrix Remote Data Facility ) [EOL] based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Delphix, IBM, Dell Technologies and others in Copy Data Management."This solution is very helpful and easy to use."
"I believe one of the advantages we saw was that the configuration was manageable."
"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."
"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."
"The most valuable feature we have found in RecoverPoint is its ability to provide the lowest RPO."
"RecoverPoint's most valuable feature is the automatic failover."
"The solution provides continuous data protection."
"It excels in duplicating data between two distinct types of storage systems."
"The feature of taking snapshots from the replicated volumes has allowed us to use them for DR testing to validate the application consistent point of recovery."
"We've found the support to be very good overall."

"It would be helpful if this product has features for transferring to the cloud."
"I would like to have the ability to bit the same system with multiple AppSync replications would definitely be beneficial to us. And general flexibility enhancements."
"The product should provide integration with new products."
"The support is horrible."
"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 cost of the solution is pretty high. The licensing costs may affect a company's ability to scale."
"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."
"When it comes to storage and backup, that is where scalability problems have affected us."
"I am waiting for block replication with VirtualBox."
"If you are new to the product, the initial setup might be a bit difficult."
"The main pain point that we experienced is during device creation. For every newly provisioned volume, creating replication relationships between production and DR site, creating snapshots for third copy at DR site, and configuring them in appropriate replication groups and device groups means that there are lot of steps involved and a lot of room for error. There has to be a lot of checks and balances which need to be incorporated to make sure that the solution is set up correctly."
