Featured Reviews

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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It excels in duplicating data between two distinct types of storage systems."
"The product does block-level replication very well."
"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."
"It can replicate data from a distant location and it can scan it as well. It has continuous data replication with almost no data loss."
"The most valuable features include the ease of defining contingency groups and the drag-and-drop functionality, which speeds up our application processes."
"It is amazing because it is very easy to test with many alternative bookmarks."
"It has improved RTO and RPO."
More Dell RecoverPoint pros
"Data protection is a valuable feature."
"NetApp is one of the best products in this field of storage solutions."
"The solution is very stable."
"They have a very effective dashboard and good reports."
"The tool seamlessly moves data over the network without putting pressure on the network."
"The product has good performance."
"The user interface is very easy to manage. The replication is also very easy to set up."
"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."
More NetApp SnapMirror pros
 

Cons

"Other hypervisors should be integrated with this system. Other hypervisors should be able to get the benefits of this solution."
"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."
"RecoverPoint's WAN optimization could be improved."
"The solution normally supports only specific types and amounts of storage. If it could be increased to support much larger amounts or a wider range, it could fetch a bigger market."
"I am waiting for block replication with VirtualBox."
"It is worth mentioning that this solution is no longer supported, primarily because it doesn't replicate between two different storage systems anymore."
"The product should provide integration with new products."
"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."
More Dell RecoverPoint cons
"We must be able to integrate Flash Pool with SnapMirror."
"The tool should also work on third-party solutions."
"The price needs to be improved."
"There is probably some limitations when it comes to the scalability of the solution."
"It's necessary to install NetApp simulator to avoid complications."
"In the next release, I would like to see Data reduction included and WAN optimization."
"The price could be cheaper."
"The solution's dashboard and reporting could be improved."
More NetApp SnapMirror cons
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"RecoverPoint came free as an add-on to the PowerProtect Data Manager backup software from Dell EMC."
"It is considered quite costly."
"The product is fairly priced."
"The price is moderate."
"Support is an additional subscription."
"While I recommend Dell EMC, it depends on your specific use case. Licensing is perpetual, meaning you buy it once."
"The pricing can be improved."
"SnapMirror is extremely expensive. We had a hard time adjusting to our budget. If rated on a scale of one to ten, with ten being the most expensive, I would definitely rate it ten out of ten."
"It's part of the NetApp Firewall, so it's free."
"The solution has monthly and yearly licensing options."
"It's a highly cost-effective solution"
"The cost is low compared to different vendors."
"The product price is reasonable."
"The pricing could be improved."
