We performed a comparison between Dell RecoverPoint and Dell SRDF (Symmetrix Remote Data Facility ) [EOL] based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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 tool's most valuable feature is stability."
"The solution is very stable. Once it's installed, many customers forget they even have it."
"It is amazing because it is very easy to test with many alternative bookmarks."
"It excels in duplicating data between two distinct types of storage systems."
"The solution provides continuous data protection."
"The most valuable feature we have found in RecoverPoint is its ability to provide the lowest RPO."
"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."

"I am waiting for block replication with VirtualBox."
"Other hypervisors should be integrated with this system. Other hypervisors should be able to get the benefits of this solution."
"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."
"When it comes to storage and backup, that is where scalability problems have affected us."
"It is worth mentioning that this solution is no longer supported, primarily because it doesn't replicate between two different storage systems anymore."
"RecoverPoint's WAN optimization could be improved."
"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."
"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."
