Find out what your peers are saying about NetApp, Fivetran, Dell Technologies and others in Data Replication.
"When it works, it is the best product that is available."
"The solution is very stable. Once it's installed, many customers forget they even have it."
"It has improved RTO and RPO."
"The product does block-level replication very well."
"The solution is now Flash-based, which is better. they moved away from Java."
"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 solution provides continuous data protection."
"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 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."
More Dell SRDF (Symmetrix Remote Data Facility ) [EOL] Pros →
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"SnapMirror and Snapshot are both very reliable products."
"The most valuable features of NetApp Snapshot are the integration with other vendors and customization."
"You never have to worry about maintaining millions of files stored across several thousands of virtual machines."
"It has a user-friendly interface."
"It is a very scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"NetApp Snapshot's most valuable features are the snapshot capabilities, you can take snaps of shared directories, files, and VMs."
"The consistency of Snapshot is very significant."
"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."
"When it comes to storage and backup, that is where scalability problems have affected us."
"The product should provide integration with new products."
"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."
"The support is horrible."
"Other hypervisors should be integrated with this system. Other hypervisors should be able to get the benefits of this solution."
"RecoverPoint's WAN optimization could be improved."
"It is worth mentioning that this solution is no longer supported, primarily because it doesn't replicate between two different storage systems anymore."
"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."
"If you are new to the product, the initial setup might be a bit difficult."

"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 initial setup process of NetApp Snapshot is not easy and needs improvement."
"Not a perfect ten because there is one point off to give it room for improvement."
"The licensing cost could be improved."
"The price could be improved a little bit."
"NetApp Snapshot's price could improve to allow them to capture more market shares."
"The company could update their products more regularly."
"The UI is probably their biggest weakness. There are always glitches in the HTML UI."
