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

"Dell RecoverPoint offers cost savings in the long term."
"The solution provides continuous data protection."
"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 most valuable feature we have found in RecoverPoint is its ability to provide the lowest RPO."
"The solution is very stable. Once it's installed, many customers forget they even have it."
"We use RecoverPoint for disaster recovery and asynchronous replication, and we use the application at a block level, not the software level. This has been tested, and it's very durable."
"The technical support for Dell RecoverPoint is excellent."
"The solution is now Flash-based, which is better. they moved away from Java."
"It is fully featured. It has allowed me to do everything I wanted to do."
 

Cons

"It is worth mentioning that this solution is no longer supported, primarily because it doesn't replicate between two different storage systems anymore."
"Dell RecoverPoint is affordable for enterprises but not for mid-size organizations due to the required network investment for bandwidth across sites."
"Considering the speed Dell RecoverPoint can recover data, it would be good if we could replicate data from on-premise to the cloud with this solution."
"Other hypervisors should be integrated with this system. Other hypervisors should be able to get the benefits of this solution."
"When it comes to storage and backup, that is where scalability problems have affected us."
"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."
"Dell RecoverPoint can be improved by virtualizing it, which would use less storage and enhance performance."
"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

"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."
"The price is moderate."
"RecoverPoint came free as an add-on to the PowerProtect Data Manager backup software from Dell EMC."
"It is considered quite costly."
"Support is an additional subscription."
