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.

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."

"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 technical support from Dell is excellent."

"Continuous replication with lower RTO and RPO is the most innovative feature. Its tight integration with VMware for VMware VMs is also valuable."

"The most valuable feature is the ability to change IP addresses when failing a server over."

"Dell RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines offers key features like any point-in-time recovery without needing scheduled snapshots."

"It is a point-in-time restore, which is quite handy."

"The workload can be moved directly if the disaster site is the main site."

More Dell RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines pros

"The most valuable feature for our customers is the restore functionality."

Cons

"I would like to have the HTML 5 interface working because it is currently not functioning with the VMware environment."

"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 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 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."

"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 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."

"The solution's technical team has enough skills, but the process can get complicated with the time you get connected with the L3 support."

More Dell RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines cons

"The anonymization feature can be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It was a part of a backup solution. So, it was free for us."

"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."

"This is an expensive product."

"This is not a very cheap solution and compared to others, it is expensive."

"The tool is expensive. If one means cheaply priced and ten means expensive, I rate the tool's price as a seven."
