Features: Dell RecoverPoint offers continuous data protection, out-of-band block replication with EMC storage arrays, and seamless integration into VMware's Site Recovery Manager.

Snapshots allow you to restore or view the image on either the DR or production side if data is compromised and integrate seamlessly with Dell EMC storage

I've worked closely with Dell since 2007. Back then, we could create a "Severity 1" case. I think they've discontinued that option. Now, you can create a "Severity 2" case. For Severity 1 issues, you can call the helpline. I've often recommended to Dell EMC Pakistan that there should be a portal option to create Severity 1 cases. Their engineers are good, but since COVID, many experienced engineers have left the company. This is a problem for every vendor, not just Dell EMC – they face challenges finding experienced technical engineers. So, while I recommend Dell EMC, sometimes they don't have the technical staff for very quick responses. In those cases, you might need to engage your account manager to find the best engineer on a Severity 1 issue.

A CDN solution to enhance loading times and streamline navigation

When one of the primary nodes spanning from North to South America, from the northern US to the southern US, became operational, it had a big impact. It can be challenging to explain its advantages to clients. The technical nature of the marketing material is too technical for stakeholders. Integrating the solution was straightforward, requiring no extra effort. Edgio Global CDN operates, resembling familiar cloud services but offering elevated functionality. Unlike platforms such as Google Cloud Platform or RIN geared towards development teams, Edgio emphasizes client-facing services that are integral to our operations. Overall, I rate the solution a 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 image backup feature is great. For example, if you set the journal to take a backup every ten minutes, it will create a snapshot or pointer every ten minutes for as long as you need."

"The product does block-level replication very well."

"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."

"It excels in duplicating data between two distinct types of storage systems."

"The technical support for Dell RecoverPoint is excellent."

"It is amazing because it is very easy to test with many alternative bookmarks."

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

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

More Dell RecoverPoint pros

"It's super easy to use and integrate with."

"The Rules Engine V4 is the most valuable feature."

"The tool's most valuable feature is the Uplynk platform for streaming purposes."

"The product is easy to use and easy to implement."

"The customer support and service responsiveness were excellent."

Cons

"I am waiting for block replication with VirtualBox."

"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."

"Dell RecoverPoint can be improved by virtualizing it, which would use less storage and enhance performance."

"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."

"The product should provide integration with new products."

"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."

"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."

"The initial setup is complex."

More Dell RecoverPoint cons

"The tool needs to resolve its lack of innovation."

"We could not create more than 15 custom rules."

"The web interface of the Verizon Edgecast portal is very old. It's not user-friendly, slow, and it is missing some valuable features like the ability to make bulk changes."

"In the next release, I would like to see more global endpoints for their CDN and a lower price."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is moderate."

"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 product is fairly priced."

"It is considered quite costly."

"Support is an additional subscription."

"Be careful about the options because to have all the features can be very expensive."

"The product is cheaper compared to other solutions."

"When I modeled it out, we are spending somewhere between $600 to $800 a month with Verizon EdgeCast."
