Beneficial continual replication, helpful support, and high replication performance

The most valuable features of EDB Postgres Replication Server are the many in-built functionalities, such as streaming. When compared to others solutions it is highly secure and does not have any breakage in replication. The replication is very fast. Additionally, in other solutions, the databases need to have a lot of manual intervention but with EDB Postgres Replication Server it is not needed.

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

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

Cons

"Dell RecoverPoint is affordable for enterprises but not for mid-size organizations due to the required network investment for bandwidth across sites."

"The initial setup is complex."

"It is worth mentioning that this solution is no longer supported, primarily because it doesn't replicate between two different storage systems anymore."

"Scalability is one of the few drawbacks of this thing. They're still using Flash Player to manage, and now it is extremely slow."

"Currently the product does not support cascaded replication, only "Y" replication."

"Dell RecoverPoint is considered an older technology and is not recommended for new deployments by Dell EMC. It requires double the storage capacity for source and target storage areas, which creates a heavy burden on storage resources."

"The support is horrible."

"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."

More Dell RecoverPoint cons

"We tried to set up a reverse master-master set up, but currently, it is not available."

"We tried to set up a reverse master-master set up, but currently, it is not available. it can be done only via logical replication using a paid version of BDR or some other technology. They allow like master-master. MySQL has already supported master-master and streaming."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is considered quite costly."

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

"The price is moderate."

"The product is fairly priced."

"Support is an additional subscription."

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

"We have used the paid version of the EDB Postgres Replication Server and the license payments were annual."
