There is a problem with the solution's architecture. First of all, it requires double the resources on the virtual environment to set up one environment. You set up a cluster of virtual machines per site, so you are doubling the resources you need. While it wastes resources, it also provides a strategy to do high availability. It also lacks backward compatibility with some of the old vCenter servers. When you get an issue, they want you to upgrade up to the latest edition. However, when I have an old vCenter server, I should be able to use whatever version we have to do the replication. It also has a security vulnerability because it requires several ports to be open in the customer environment. These ports are open on the firewall. It also lacks a reporting mechanism to show a customer, the number of machines you've backed up and the difference. It's essential for a customer to know what is happening.

While Dell RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines offers a solid solution for our local and remote data protection needs, there are a couple of areas that could be improved. The configuration process seems a bit challenging, and the installation takes a bit longer than expected. Additionally, the user interface could be more user-friendly to enhance the overall user experience. In terms of cost, the pricing is a bit on the higher side, especially for a company of our size. It would be great to see some adjustments in pricing or perhaps more flexible options. Additionally, Dell could improve its service by implementing a more automated and centralized solution for IP connectivity issues. Offering additional services like remote system location, recovery, and repair could provide valuable support to customers, even with an added service charge. This approach would streamline software-related issue resolution remotely. Dell could extend similar remote solutions to its partners, fostering stronger partnerships. For hardware-related problems, ensuring a quick supply of similar SKU stock could lead to swift resolutions within a short timeframe, aligning with the industry trend of remote software support and rapid hardware response.

Key learnings from peers

Valuable Features

"One of the standout features of Dell RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines is its real-time data protection capability."
"The workload can be moved directly if the disaster site is the main site."
"RecoverPoint replicates workloads fast."

Room for Improvement

"The configuration process seems a bit challenging, and the installation takes a bit longer than expected."
"It would be good to have a critical application on the customer side."
"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."

Pricing

"It was a part of a backup solution. So, it was free for us."
"There is a license required for this solution and the pricing depends on how many virtual machines you have."
"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."

These insights are based on the in-depth reviews provided by peers to help you make a better buying decision.
