Continuous data protection guarantees data safety during outages and disasters
Based on my experience, I do recommend Dell RecoverPoint to other businesses. The environment requiring Dell RecoverPoint, such as banks or telcos where data equals money, cannot afford to lose data. The overall solution rating is eight, considering the competition from one or two more OEMs giving a tough time to Dell RecoverPoint.
BharathKumar2 - PeerSpot reviewer
Database Administrator at Cartrack
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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"We use RecoverPoint for disaster recovery and asynchronous replication, and we use the application at a block level, not the software level, and this has been tested and is very durable."
"The most valuable feature we have found in RecoverPoint is its ability to provide the lowest RPO."
"It has improved RTO and RPO."
"It excels in duplicating data between two distinct types of storage systems."
"Customer Service: Very good, EMC did support us to implement it well and gave useful instructions and lessons to help to maintain it well."
"RecoverPoint can be depended on as your only disaster recovery solution without any need to mix different types of failover systems."
"RecoverPoint's most valuable feature is the automatic failover."
"We have been able to achieve a very low RTO and RPO with near real-time replication policies and adequately sized journals for a limited recovery time requirement to bring systems online as well as a great recovery point to roll back to in the event of a disaster or outage."
"The most valuable features of EDB Postgres Replication Server are the many in-built functionalities, such as streaming.

Cons

"Scalability is one of the few drawbacks of this thing. They're still using Flash Player to manage, and now it is extremely slow."
"The product should provide integration with new products."
"It is worth mentioning that this solution is no longer supported, primarily because it doesn't replicate between two different storage systems anymore."
"RecoverPoint is designed to integrate seamlessly with Dell EMC storage. If you don't have Dell EMC storage, you can't use it with other brands like IBM or HP."
"RecoverPoint's WAN optimization could be improved."
"Currently the product does not support cascaded replication, only "Y" replication."
"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."
"RecoverPoint journals consume a lot of storage to obtain a large RPO."
"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."
"We tried to set up a reverse master-master set up, but currently, it is not available."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is fairly priced."
"RecoverPoint came free as an add-on to the PowerProtect Data Manager backup software from Dell EMC."
"While I recommend Dell EMC, it depends on your specific use case. Licensing is perpetual, meaning you buy it once."
"The price is moderate."
"Support is an additional subscription."
"It is considered quite costly."
"We have used the paid version of the EDB Postgres Replication Server and the license payments were annual."
