Simple to install, reliable, and has good technical support
There were some limitations in the product that prompted us to shift away from it. You could only have one AppSync profile per server to target where the data could be replicated to. There were a few specific feature limitations in terms of flexibility that required the development of an alternative. However, that was the only flaw. In relation to, the replication destinations. We wanted to collect data from multiple systems and then replicate it on a single system. AppSync was based on a one-to-one replication footprint, which was the limitation that we had encountered. We needed to combine several systems into one. That was one of the scenarios provided by the solution. I would like to have the ability to bit the same system with multiple AppSync replications would definitely be beneficial to us. And general flexibility enhancements.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It gave us enough time to do the backup for big databases and mount them in a certain location, from there on tapes."
"In few steps you can configure your replicas without using auxiliary scripts."
"It's integration with SQL and Exchange for VSS-based backup works perfectly, the agent is easy to install, the GUI is easy to navigate and debugging is easy to enable or disable."
"We have application consistent snaps of SQL mounted to development VM’s daily."
"This solution is very helpful and easy to use."
"It has excellent performance and reliability, and with a little more flexibility, it could be nearly perfect."
"However if you wanted a reliable product to work with new or existing EMC products then I would recommend taking a look at Replication Manager."
"I believe one of the advantages we saw was that the configuration was manageable."
"The most valuable features are that is easy to install and it is user-friendly."
"DBMoto was very simple to set up and move our tables to the Oracle DB."
"It's a good product that is user-friendly and easy to manage, and I would recommend it to others."
 

Cons

"Mount replica function through EMC RM needs to be faster because when you are using Veritas volumes with mirrors the mount routine is too late (the mount process time is directly proportional the volume size when you are using Veritas Volume Manager (vxvm))."
"There were some limitations in the product that prompted us to shift away from it."
"It would be helpful if this product has features for transferring to the cloud."
"The product needs to be less complex (compatibility, solution enabler etc.)."
"Simplify implementation."
"When I deployed the Replication Manager and detected issues, I found that the technical support was not really helpful because they spent a lot of time to found a hotfix which resolved my problem."
"Yes. Periodically I needed to restart the agent on the client side and sometimes on the server side."
"Each replication manager installation can only handle so many records. If you have over a certain number of bookmarks or snaps, the GUI becomes un-usable."
"Pricing is an area that needs improvement."
"This product would be improved with additional built-in functions for simpler date conversion, as well as for data type transformations."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I believe we paid them on a yearly basis."
"I found the price to be quite reasonable."
"Customers pay a license fee yearly."
