Seamless data protection and IP address management streamline server failover
I recommend Dell RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines. I work for a financial institution, and it does what we need it to do. I would rate the product eight out of ten. For improvement, I suggest better orchestration management for easier failovers. I would rate the overall solution an 8 out of 10.

Consistent high ratings reflect user satisfaction and reliability
The effective features are file system backup and bare metal recovery. I find it effective because the recovery time when the system goes down is approximately 10 hours, so you can recover the system, and the recovery procedure is quite straightforward. The solution is on-premises. Deduplication is handled by their own product called Corestore, which is a software-based deduplication engine. The deduplication ratio is quite good, and the backup window reduces because of it. To use Quest NetVault Plus backup, my advice is that the product is quite simple; there's no need to access or log in to the backup server, just log in from any system in the same network, and the configuration part is also quite simple. I rate Quest NetVault Plus a nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"One of the standout features of Dell RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines is its real-time data protection capability."
"The speed and the footprint the solution uses regarding storage are great."
"It is a very simple tool to use and offers flexibility in using the tool for recovery and transitioning from one state to another."
"The solution is quite stable. We haven't experienced any kind of bug or glitch. We haven't experienced crashes."
"Point-in-time recovery and ease of deployment are valuable."
"The generalization of the journals allows us to go back in time and choose the snapshot suitable for us. We can grab it as needed."
"The workload can be moved directly if the disaster site is the main site."
"The most valuable feature is that it is journal-based and you don't have to replicate a lot of data."
"The platform helps us with efficient QoreStor deduplication (DD) capabilities and configuration."
"Quest NetVault Plus has a high level of stability."
"Quest NetVault Plus is quite effective for managing backups across multiple systems because we don't need to log in to the backup server to manage it; it's web-based, so from any system in the network, you can log in and manage everything."
"Its dashboard is quite well done. When you log into the GUI, you can basically see everything you need to know. There is also the possibility to edit the view as you like, which is great."
"The initial setup is straightforward. It's not that complicated. Deployment took maybe about 15 minutes."
"If a job is pending, the solution communicates it to us through emails."
"Having the web-based interface is important to us because we can access it from any computer in the network, rather than having it installed and available for use only on a specific one."
"The backup and recovery capabilities of NetVault Plus are very important for maintaining my business."
 

Cons

"In some cases, the response times could improve, but we haven't had issues with their support."
"Maybe integration with Kubernetes for OpenShift would be helpful."
"The solution currently supports only VMware. There is increasing demand for compatibility with other hypervisors, such as Hyper V and KVM Proxmox. Additionally, licensing has become less flexible and more expensive."
"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."
"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."
"It would be good to have a critical application on the customer side."
"The biggest challenge we faced was attempting replication between two different kinds of storage systems, like IBM on one side and Dell EMC storage systems on the other, before opting for VPLEX."
"I would like to see integration with EMC NetWorker in the next release."
"I would like to see the option of cloud-based management."
"The storage capacity is very low."
"The product’s SQL backup plugin needs improvement."
"There are certain issues with the product that we report to Quest, and we get offered a workaround instead of a fix. There could be better interaction with the development teams, perhaps in terms of transparency."
"The stability of the solution is poor."
"There's no positive impact that NetVault Plus has brought to my company; I mean, there's no particular benefit I have seen from using it."
"In the next version, I would like to see support for the MongoDB database. As it is now, there is no component that works with it and we cannot back the data up using NetVault."
"The interface can be improved. It should be more clear what features are available and make them easy to find."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is expensive. If one means cheaply priced and ten means expensive, I rate the tool's price as a seven."
"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."
"This is an expensive product."
"This is not a very cheap solution and compared to others, it is expensive."
"It was a part of a backup solution. So, it was free for us."
"There is a license required for this solution and the pricing depends on how many virtual machines you have."
"The tool is expensive."
"The price of our 12-month contract is approximately $1,500 AUD ($1,100 USD)."
"When we purchased four licenses, we were given a very good price. However, it is still on the high side when compared to some other vendors."
