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.

Cons

"The new Gen5 appliances have adopted the Unisphere management interface and it is written for Adobe Flash, which in my experience, is very slow and makes administration cumbersome at times."
