We performed a comparison between Dell RecoverPoint, Dell SRDF (Symmetrix Remote Data Facility ) [EOL], and NetApp Snapshot based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about NetApp, Fivetran, Dell Technologies and others in Data Replication.
"We use RecoverPoint for disaster recovery and asynchronous replication, and we use the application at a block level, not the software level. This has been tested, and it's very durable."
"It has improved RTO and RPO."
"The solution is very stable. Once it's installed, many customers forget they even have it."
"When it works, it is the best product that is available."
"RecoverPoint's most valuable feature is the automatic failover."
"The tool's most valuable feature is stability."
"The most valuable feature we have found in RecoverPoint is its ability to provide the lowest RPO."
"The solution provides continuous data protection."
"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 replication and SV protocol features are valuable."
"It centralizes your data."
"The solution is fast and it doesn't use any disc space at all. You can also take as many snapshots as you like. These are the solution's most valuable features."
"We are able to easily do Azure backups and restores."
"This mature product is the leader in the backup industry with unique features and capabilities for users with advanced backup needs."
"It is a very scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the snapshot and clone capabilities."
"The most valuable features of NetApp Snapshot are the integration with other vendors and customization."
"Integration with VMware is the only thing we need to improve. Another feature I'd like to see is the ability to convert management to HTML. And the integration should also be done on the same level."
"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 cost of the solution is pretty high. The licensing costs may affect a company's ability to scale."
"When it comes to storage and backup, that is where scalability problems have affected us."
"The support is horrible."
"RecoverPoint's WAN optimization could be improved."
"It is worth mentioning that this solution is no longer supported, primarily because it doesn't replicate between two different storage systems anymore."
"Other hypervisors should be integrated with this system. Other hypervisors should be able to get the benefits of this solution."
"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."
"If you are new to the product, the initial setup might be a bit difficult."

"NetApp Snapshot's price could improve to allow them to capture more market shares."
"The solution could include more databases and make it accessible to the DBAs. The automation process should be run in a way where it could be run from the database itself."
"The price could be a bit lower."
"The UI is probably their biggest weakness. There are always glitches in the HTML UI."
"NetApp needs to take a look at their pricing in comparison to the competition and make the appropriate change to attract more customers and gain in market share."
"The initial setup of NetApp Snapshot is not straightforward. It's not something that you can do just by clicking on the next step button. It has to be designed and it has to be implemented according to your network capabilities and the use case scenario."
"The next release should include developments on the step center for purpose or bandwidth."
"I think the automation needs some improvement."
