Cons
"The support is horrible.""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.""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.""It is worth mentioning that this solution is no longer supported, primarily because it doesn't replicate between two different storage systems anymore.""The product should provide integration with new products.""The cost of the solution is pretty high. The licensing costs may affect a company's ability to scale.""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.""RecoverPoint's WAN optimization could be improved."
