Find out in this report how the two Data Replication solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."When it works, it is the best product that is available."
"We use RecoverPoint for disaster recovery and asynchronous replication, and we use the application at a block level, not the software level. This has been tested, and it's very durable."
"It excels in duplicating data between two distinct types of storage systems."
"RecoverPoint's most valuable feature is the automatic failover."
"It is amazing because it is very easy to test with many alternative bookmarks."
"The solution is now Flash-based, which is better. they moved away from Java."
"The most valuable feature we have found in RecoverPoint is its ability to provide the lowest RPO."
"The solution is very stable. Once it's installed, many customers forget they even have it."
"SnapMirror and Snapshot are both very reliable products."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the snapshot and clone capabilities."
"Compared to the traditional way we did backups, with Snapshot it takes us less time. It has improved my organization by saving us time."
"The most important feature to us is creating live snapshots without impacting user access to the file. NetApp's processes are transparent to users and allow us to create point-in-time snapshots, enabling us to replicate that data into the cloud in real time without any impact."
"From a functional standpoint, it's been, pretty much bulletproof. I have never gone to a snapshot and not been able to do what I needed to do."
"It has a user-friendly interface."
"It centralizes your data."
"You never have to worry about maintaining millions of files stored across several thousands of virtual machines."
"It is worth mentioning that this solution is no longer supported, primarily because it doesn't replicate between two different storage systems anymore."
"RecoverPoint's WAN optimization could be improved."
"When it comes to storage and backup, that is where scalability problems have affected us."
"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."
"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."
"The support is horrible."
"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."
"If your data is more dynamic and changes frequently, you need more granular retention levels and need to save it for a longer duration, then this becomes a real challenge."
"The next release should include developments on the step center for purpose or bandwidth."
"The UI is probably their biggest weakness. There are always glitches in the HTML UI."
"The solution needs to ensure it has higher availability or business continuity."
"The initial setup process of NetApp Snapshot is not easy and needs improvement."
"I would like some sort of notification that lets me know when a snapshot is done or not done."
"Not a perfect ten because there is one point off to give it room for improvement."
"I would like to see cloud features added to the next release of this solution."
