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."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 tool's most valuable feature is stability."
"The solution provides continuous data protection."
"The solution is very stable. Once it's installed, many customers forget they even have it."
"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 product does block-level replication very well."
"It is amazing because it is very easy to test with many alternative bookmarks."
"The solution is now Flash-based, which is better. they moved away from Java."
"The user interface is very easy to manage. The replication is also very easy to set up."
"The technical support is quite good."
"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."
"The product has good performance."
"The solution is very stable."
"The most valuable feature is the data replication tool. There is also a lot of ability for data migration."
"NetApp SnapMirror's ease of use and reliability are valuable features."
"Overall, the product is very good. It's an easy to use tool."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Other hypervisors should be integrated with this system. Other hypervisors should be able to get the benefits of this solution."
"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."
"It is not as efficient as it needs to be. It doesn't compress the data really well when it is forwarded to a secondary site. The download performance could be better."
"In the next release, I would like to see Data reduction included and WAN optimization."
"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."
"We have to do manual verifications about the subscriptions often."
"The tool should also work on third-party solutions."
"It's necessary to install NetApp simulator to avoid complications."
"We have different families of storage, such as the E-Series and Flash systems, but NetApp cannot be set up between them."
"There is probably some limitations when it comes to the scalability of the solution."
