Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"RecoverPoint replicates workloads fast.""Continuous replication with lower RTO and RPO is the most innovative feature. Its tight integration with VMware for VMware VMs is also valuable.""Point-in-time recovery and ease of deployment are valuable.""The solution is quite stable. We haven't experienced any kind of bug or glitch. We haven't experienced crashes.""The workload can be moved directly if the disaster site is the main site.""The installation is straightforward if the version you have is compatible with your infrastructure.""The most valuable features are the data center recovery administration and the time of recovery.""The most valuable feature is that it is journal-based and you don't have to replicate a lot of data."

Cons
"The solution could improve by being more easier to use. However, once you have used it for a while it becomes easier. Additionally, there could be better support and compatibility with management by having a command-line interface. This would be beneficial for the customers.""The configuration process seems a bit challenging, and the installation takes a bit longer than expected.""It can have better integration. It would be good if, in addition to VMware VM, it can also support other hypervisors. I also want to see support for Oracle databases. As of now, it supports only SQL and Exchange. It would be good to also support other databases.""It would be good to have a critical application on the customer side.""In the next release of this software, I would like to see options that help to decrease the bandwidth required, such as compressing the data.""I would like to see integration with EMC NetWorker in the next release.""It should have features for recovering a group of virtual machines and full-scale security. For recovering all the VMs at once, they don't have a GUI option, and we have to use the command line.""I would like to have the HTML 5 interface working because it is currently not functioning with the VMware environment."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "This is not a very cheap solution and compared to others, it is expensive."
  • "This is an expensive product."
  • "Pricing-wise, it is pretty much fair for any customer who only has a VMware environment. Licensing is based on the number of VMs that you want to protect at any given point in time. Licensing is not based on size."
  • "There is a license required for this solution and the pricing depends on how many virtual machines you have."
  • "It was a part of a backup solution. So, it was free for us."

  • "The pricing of the solution is based on the scale of the project or business. It's based on the server amount and the amount of data being stored. For our client, based on the amount of data they have, it may be around $20,000 USD. It could get much more expensive on the customer side."
  • "Disaster Recovery Services is expensive."
