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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It has improved RTO and RPO."
"Dell RecoverPoint offers cost savings in the long term."
"The product does block-level replication very well."
"I would rate the overall solution a 9.9 out of 10."
"It is amazing because it is very easy to test with many alternative bookmarks."
"When it works, it is the best product that is available."
"The solution is now Flash-based, which is better. they moved away from Java."
"In terms of operational and financial benefits, in case of any disaster, it can recover."
"It is fully featured. It has allowed me to do everything I wanted to do."
 

Cons

"The initial setup is complex."
"The support is horrible."
"I am waiting for block replication with VirtualBox."
"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."
"Dell RecoverPoint can be improved by virtualizing it, which would use less storage and enhance performance."
"The interfaces could be improved for better ease of use. There's also room for improvement in direct compatibility with other solutions."
"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."
"It is worth mentioning that this solution is no longer supported, primarily because it doesn't replicate between two different storage systems anymore."
"The user interface could improve. We are looking at some cloud-based databases, and I don't think they support that."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The price is moderate."
"While I recommend Dell EMC, it depends on your specific use case. Licensing is perpetual, meaning you buy it once."
"It is considered quite costly."
