I've worked closely with Dell since 2007. Back then, we could create a "Severity 1" case. I think they've discontinued that option. Now, you can create a "Severity 2" case. For Severity 1 issues, you can call the helpline. I've often recommended to Dell EMC Pakistan that there should be a portal option to create Severity 1 cases. Their engineers are good, but since COVID, many experienced engineers have left the company. This is a problem for every vendor, not just Dell EMC – they face challenges finding experienced technical engineers. So, while I recommend Dell EMC, sometimes they don't have the technical staff for very quick responses. In those cases, you might need to engage your account manager to find the best engineer on a Severity 1 issue.

The support is horrible. There are bugs in the solution that have not been fixed yet. The vendor said they would fix the bugs and release the product again. However, this has not been done. There is no designated timeline for it. The technical support must be improved. The turnaround time must be faster. The engineering team is not on its toes.

The most valuable feature of Dell RecoverPoint is when a customer has private data in their data center, from the replicator site and from the DL site, they can continue their production in the shortest possible time. Another valuable feature of this solution is that it has a point-in-time recovery feature. If you have loose data, or if you have a cyberattack, you can go back to your production site from the past few minutes or even the past few months and the data will be unaltered. The product does block-level replication very well.

Valuable Features

"The most valuable features include the ease of defining contingency groups and the drag-and-drop functionality, which speeds up our application processes."
"The image backup feature is great. For example, if you set the journal to take a backup every ten minutes, it will create a snapshot or pointer every ten minutes for as long as you need."
"When it works, it is the best product that is available."

Room for Improvement

"In the future, I would like Dell RecoverPoint to evolve as an orchestration tool that can integrate with other replication tools such as Microsoft native replication and Oracle Data Guard."
"RecoverPoint is designed to integrate seamlessly with Dell EMC storage. If you don't have Dell EMC storage, you can't use it with other brands like IBM or HP."
"The support is horrible."

ROI

Pricing

"While I recommend Dell EMC, it depends on your specific use case. Licensing is perpetual, meaning you buy it once."
"The price is moderate."
"It is considered quite costly."
