Pros
"RecoverPoint replicates workloads fast.""One of the standout features of Dell RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines is its real-time data protection capability.""It is a point-in-time restore, which is quite handy.""Point-in-time recovery and ease of deployment are valuable.""The solution is quite stable. We haven't experienced any kind of bug or glitch. We haven't experienced crashes.""The most valuable feature is that it is journal-based and you don't have to replicate a lot of data.""The most valuable features are the data center recovery administration and the time of recovery.""Continuous replication with lower RTO and RPO is the most innovative feature. Its tight integration with VMware for VMware VMs is also valuable."

Cons
"The solution could improve by being more easier to use. However, once you have used it for a while it becomes easier. Additionally, there could be better support and compatibility with management by having a command-line interface. This would be beneficial for the customers.""In the next release of this software, I would like to see options that help to decrease the bandwidth required, such as compressing the data.""The configuration process seems a bit challenging, and the installation takes a bit longer than expected.""I would like to have the HTML 5 interface working because it is currently not functioning with the VMware environment.""It should have features for recovering a group of virtual machines and full-scale security. For recovering all the VMs at once, they don't have a GUI option, and we have to use the command line.""The solution is not easy to use. It's actually quite hard. If it could be simplified it might be better for the end user.""It can have better integration. It would be good if, in addition to VMware VM, it can also support other hypervisors. I also want to see support for Oracle databases. As of now, it supports only SQL and Exchange. It would be good to also support other databases.""It would be good to have a critical application on the customer side."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "This is not a very cheap solution and compared to others, it is expensive."
  • "This is an expensive product."
  • "Pricing-wise, it is pretty much fair for any customer who only has a VMware environment. Licensing is based on the number of VMs that you want to protect at any given point in time. Licensing is not based on size."
  • "There is a license required for this solution and the pricing depends on how many virtual machines you have."
  • "It was a part of a backup solution. So, it was free for us."

  • "My company has to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the solution. There is no need to pay any additional fees apart from the licensing costs attached to the solution."
