Dell RecoverPoint vs Dell SRDF (Symmetrix Remote Data Facility ) [EOL] vs NetApp SnapMirror comparison

"I would rate its stability almost a nine out of ten."

"In terms of operational and financial benefits, in case of any disaster, it can recover."

"The solution is very stable. Once it's installed, many customers forget they even have it."

"The technical support for Dell RecoverPoint is excellent."

"The tool's most valuable feature is stability."

"The most valuable features include the ease of defining contingency groups and the drag-and-drop functionality, which speeds up our application processes."

"The solution is now Flash-based, which is better. they moved away from Java."

"It can replicate data from a distant location and it can scan it as well. It has continuous data replication with almost no data loss."

"The feature of taking snapshots from the replicated volumes has allowed us to use them for DR testing to validate the application consistent point of recovery."

"We've found the support to be very good overall."

"The user interface is very easy to manage. The replication is also very easy to set up."

"NetApp SnapMirror's ease of use and reliability are valuable features."

"The technical support is quite good."

"This solution is easy to implement and easy to use."

"Overall, the product is very good. It's an easy to use tool."

"The performance and stability are valuable features. It seems to fulfill all the requirements."

"They have a very effective dashboard and good reports."

"With SnapMirror, the solution is the feature itself that is most valuable. It just replicates the data. It's very difficult to speak about, in the sense that it's similar to the features of a wheel. It is round and it's a part of an automobile."

"Considering the speed Dell RecoverPoint can recover data, it would be good if we could replicate data from on-premise to the cloud with this solution."

"Other hypervisors should be integrated with this system. Other hypervisors should be able to get the benefits of this solution."

"The initial setup is complex."

"In the future, I would like Dell RecoverPoint to evolve as an orchestration tool that can integrate with other replication tools such as Microsoft native replication and Oracle Data Guard."

"I am waiting for block replication with VirtualBox."

"The solution normally supports only specific types and amounts of storage. If it could be increased to support much larger amounts or a wider range, it could fetch a bigger market."

"The support is horrible."

"The interfaces could be improved for better ease of use. There's also room for improvement in direct compatibility with other solutions."

"If you are new to the product, the initial setup might be a bit difficult."

"The main pain point that we experienced is during device creation. For every newly provisioned volume, creating replication relationships between production and DR site, creating snapshots for third copy at DR site, and configuring them in appropriate replication groups and device groups means that there are lot of steps involved and a lot of room for error. There has to be a lot of checks and balances which need to be incorporated to make sure that the solution is set up correctly."

"The price could be cheaper."

"We have to do manual verifications about the subscriptions often."

"The tool should also work on third-party solutions."

"Compression and deduplication could be improved."

"The new coursework models need to be improved. The bandwidth monitoring could also be better."

"It is not as efficient as it needs to be. It doesn't compress the data really well when it is forwarded to a secondary site. The download performance could be better."

"We must be able to integrate Flash Pool with SnapMirror."

"It's necessary to install NetApp simulator to avoid complications."

"It is considered quite costly."

"Support is an additional subscription."

"The price is moderate."

"While I recommend Dell EMC, it depends on your specific use case. Licensing is perpetual, meaning you buy it once."

"RecoverPoint came free as an add-on to the PowerProtect Data Manager backup software from Dell EMC."

"The product is fairly priced."

"It's a highly cost-effective solution"

"It's part of the NetApp Firewall, so it's free."

"The cost is low compared to different vendors."

"The product price is reasonable."

"The solution has monthly and yearly licensing options."

"SnapMirror is extremely expensive. We had a hard time adjusting to our budget. If rated on a scale of one to ten, with ten being the most expensive, I would definitely rate it ten out of ten."

"The pricing could be improved."

"The pricing can be improved."
