Trustworthy and provides good availability

Our administrator found the solution easy to use, but once that administrator left, it felt very overwhelming to the individual who took it over. It could be more of a knowledge transfer situation that didn't happen, but we didn't know if it was easy to use. Precisely Assure QuickEDD is deployed on the cloud in our organization. The implementation of QLED helped us with our recovery time objective and was a seamless transition. In order to utilize the product to its fullest potential, users should be knowledgeable of what it offers. They should also form a relationship with the person who is their representative. Overall, I rate the solution an eight or 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

"RecoverPoint replicates workloads fast."

"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."

"One of the standout features of Dell RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines is its real-time data protection capability."

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

"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."

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

More Dell RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines pros

"Synchronous applications are valuable."

"The most valuable feature of Precisely Assure QuickEDD is the backup system."

Cons

"The configuration process seems a bit challenging, and the installation takes a bit longer than expected."

"The solution currently supports only VMware."

"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 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."

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

"Maybe integration with Kubernetes for OpenShift would be helpful."

"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."

More Dell RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines cons

"There should be more interactive dashboards."

"Our administrator found the solution easy to use, but once that administrator left, it felt very overwhelming to the individual who took it over."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This is an expensive product."

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

"There is a license required for this solution and the pricing depends on how many virtual machines you have."

"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."

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

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

"It is expensive. The cost varies based on your requirements. If you want to manage it, there is an extra cost."
