Dell RecoverPoint Reviews

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.

I have been using EMC RecoverPoint Continuous Remote Replication for two and a half years.

It's not for small operations. I don't think it needs improvement. It can replicate a lot of data storage.

We offer support in Bangladesh and are a service provider. I have contacted technical support for their help. Their support is good. They are smart. They communicate well and are easy to understand. 

The initial setup was not complex. 

I would rate it a ten out of ten. 

It could use an external application on top of its recover points. Other hypervisors should be integrated with this system. Other hypervisors should be able to get the benefits of this solution.

Disaster recovery for more than 50 VMs and a few MS SQL DBs: MS SQL cluster, web app, NLB, etc.

I worked as an IT manager and IT consultant. I have had many experiences with EMC and RecoverPoint. 

It has improved RTO and RPO. 

Bookmark, Test and SRM integration. It is amazing because it is very easy to test with many alternative bookmarks.

I am now working for another vendor. I am following as an individual and waiting for block replication with VirtualBox. 

Our primary use cases involve Dell RecoverPoint and Site Recovery Manager for disaster recovery purposes. We use Dell RecoverPoint specifically for shared clusters and continuous data protection, such as when there's a shared disk between two virtual machines that cannot be replicated using SRM.

The most valuable features include the ease of defining contingency groups and the drag-and-drop functionality, which speeds up our application processes. We have found Dell RecoverPoint beneficial for replication in situations where SRM cannot be used. Its intuitive user interface is also helpful.

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. 

Currently, having multiple tools affects our RPO during a natural disaster, so a unified orchestration tool would ease failover and failback processes.

We have been using Dell RecoverPoint for this project for about six months.

Dell's technical support was very useful. They were helpful in resolving the issue we faced with the plugin.

Positive

Previously, we used tools like Carbonite for replication.

With VxRail nodes, we received certain default licenses for RecoverPoint. We primarily use Site Recovery Manager for the majority of our VMs and RecoverPoint only for a few specific uses. It's too early to determine its full impact on our operational costs.

I would rate Dell RecoverPoint a seven out of ten. 

Currently, I am not sure if I would recommend Dell RecoverPoint to others as we are only using it for a small portion of our VMs, while the bulk is managed by Site Recovery Manager. 

Once we fully operationalize it, we might be in a better position to recommend it.
