Syed Shahid Hasan - PeerSpot reviewer
Snapshots allow you to restore or view the image on either the DR or production side if data is compromised and integrate seamlessly with Dell EMC storage
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.

Protects our data during any emergency or disaster
If they can make the application free like other vendors or include it in all the packages, it would be great. Once we bought a license for NetApp AFF A250, but the company didn’t include SnapMirror, which lead to issues while transferring data. We had to reach out to the vendor again which lead to logistical issues. It was quite frustrating as we had already incorporated the product cost into the budget, and it is quite difficult to include it again. That was a bad experience.

"The product does block-level replication very well."
"The solution is now Flash-based, which is better. they moved away from Java."
"The solution is very stable. Once it's installed, many customers forget they even have it."
"The solution provides continuous data protection."
"RecoverPoint's most valuable feature is the automatic failover."
"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."
"The tool's most valuable feature is stability."
More Dell RecoverPoint pros
"The user interface is very easy to manage. The replication is also very easy to set up."
"Data protection is a valuable feature."
"The tool seamlessly moves data over the network without putting pressure on the network."
"The product has good performance."
"The technology enables us to have a safe backup."
"The technical support is quite good."
"NetApp is one of the best products in this field of storage solutions."
"With SnapMirror, the solution is the feature itself that is most valuable. It just replicates the data. It's very difficult to speak about, in the sense that it's similar to the features of a wheel. It is round and it's a part of an automobile."

Cons

"Other hypervisors should be integrated with this system. Other hypervisors should be able to get the benefits of this solution."
"The product should provide integration with new products."
"Integration with VMware is the only thing we need to improve. Another feature I'd like to see is the ability to convert management to HTML. And the integration should also be done on the same level."
"RecoverPoint's WAN optimization could be improved."
"The support is horrible."
"The cost of the solution is pretty high. The licensing costs may affect a company's ability to scale."
"When it comes to storage and backup, that is where scalability problems have affected us."
"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."
More Dell RecoverPoint cons
"The price could be cheaper."
"The new coursework models need to be improved. The bandwidth monitoring could also be better."
"We have to do manual verifications about the subscriptions often."
"It's necessary to install NetApp simulator to avoid complications."
"The tool should also work on third-party solutions."
"We must be able to integrate Flash Pool with SnapMirror."
"It is not as efficient as it needs to be. It doesn't compress the data really well when it is forwarded to a secondary site. The download performance could be better."
"The user interface could be simplified. They might want to have fewer options on it, to make it less complicated. There are a lot of options we never use ourselves. They're often very specialized and don't apply to us."
More NetApp SnapMirror cons
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"The product is fairly priced."
"Support is an additional subscription."
"It's a highly cost-effective solution"
"It's part of the NetApp Firewall, so it's free."
"The product price is reasonable."
"The solution has monthly and yearly licensing options."

"The cost is low compared to different vendors."
"The pricing can be improved."
"The pricing could be improved."
