Offers replication flexibility across multiple environments, including local centers and secondary sites
It offers key features like any point-in-time recovery without needing scheduled snapshots. It allows for automated VM protection during processes like failover and testing, and it offers replication flexibility across multiple environments, including local centers and secondary sites. It also provides IP address management when network configurations differ across sites.

Jaimin Mehta - PeerSpot reviewer
Affordable, highly scalable, and outstanding support
For moving the data for DR, we are using Megaport. We are using a Megaport link between the data centers, so we have a third party for the site-to-site connectivity between the data centers. If such connectivity is available from the Nutanix side, it would be helpful for us. Currently, Nutanix is providing the remote snapshot, and on the data center side, there is one cluster, and on the DR side, there is another cluster. We have synchronized both clusters with the same environment. For connectivity, we are using a Megaport link, and we have to pay a third party for that. If Nutanix can provide such connectivity, it will be helpful.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 technical support from Dell is excellent."
"The workload can be moved directly if the disaster site is the main site."
"RecoverPoint replicates workloads fast."
"The most valuable feature is that it is journal-based and you don't have to replicate a lot of data."
"The speed and the footprint the solution uses regarding storage are great."
"Point-in-time recovery and ease of deployment are valuable."
"One of the standout features of Dell RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines is its real-time data protection capability."
More Dell RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines pros
"The most valuable feature is its simplicity."
"The tool's most valuable feature is ease of use."
"We haven't needed anyone to maintain or deploy the solution. The traditional Nutanix administrator can administer the solution."
"It offers synchronous data replication, allowing us to sync our recovery data every hour and efficiently send applications to remote sites."
"The solution is stable."
"It is a very secure and scalable solution, and their support is also outstanding."
"Hyper-convergence gives me the ability to patch my firmware, software, and hypervisors with a single click. That is extremely useful."
 

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."
"I would like to see integration with EMC NetWorker in the next release."
"Maybe integration with Kubernetes for OpenShift would be helpful."
"In some cases, the response times could improve, but we haven't had issues with their support."
"The configuration process seems a bit challenging, and the installation takes a bit longer than expected."
"The solution is not easy to use. It's actually quite hard. If it could be simplified it might be better for the end user."
"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."
"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."
More Dell RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines cons
"The solution needs improvement in cost."
"For moving the data for DR, we are using Megaport. We are using a Megaport link between the data centers, so we have a third party for the site-to-site connectivity between the data centers. If such connectivity is available from the Nutanix side, it would be helpful for us."
"The product is more costly than other platforms. The price could be better."
"The pricing could be better."
"They need better reporting on the environment."
"I think that Nutanix should support public clouds instead of the Nutanix data centers."
 

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."
"This is an expensive product."
"It was a part of a backup solution. So, it was free for us."
"This is not a very cheap solution and compared to others, it is expensive."
"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."
"I always want it to be cheaper."
"Besides the license, there are additional costs with the network connection. The customer may want a direct connection between the two data centers and that has an extra cost."
"One-time costs may initially seem high, but they reflect the quality of the service received."
"It is a little bit cheaper than the other products in the market. It is affordable."
