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.

I cannot recall us requesting any changes or new features. It does what we need it to do for the most part.

If you are new to the product, the initial setup might be a bit difficult.

There could be some new management or monitoring tools added to the solution. Those need a separate license. It would be nice if they were on the basic configuration.

I would like to see command line status queries give higher level, more meaningful results; i.e. data synchronizing, completely synced or split and write ready.

It's a solid product and that's been out on the market for over a decade.

I could only think of maybe some better data compression.

SRDF compared with EMC Recover Point has less capabilities, for ex. CDP (local or remote) is missing, only EMC assets compatibility, as a TCO is more expensive than implementing IBM SVC or EMC VPLEX virtualization and replication (more supported assets).
