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

"The product's initial setup phase was quite easy to install."
"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."
"RecoverPoint replicates workloads fast."
"Dell RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines offers key features like any point-in-time recovery without needing scheduled snapshots."
"Point-in-time recovery and ease of deployment are valuable."
"The workload can be moved directly if the disaster site is the main site."
"The speed and the footprint the solution uses regarding storage are great."
"The most valuable feature of Precisely Assure QuickEDD is the backup system."
"Synchronous applications are valuable."
 

Cons

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

"There is a license required for this solution and the pricing depends on how many virtual machines you have."
"The tool is expensive. If one means cheaply priced and ten means expensive, I rate the tool's price as a seven."
"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."
"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."
"It is expensive. The cost varies based on your requirements. If you want to manage it, there is an extra cost."
