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.

Ability to run multiple jobs to multiple locations simultaneously and offers quick recovery times
It was a very good product. It is real-time synchronization. It is a really beautiful product line. Once it is synchronized, it is a bit-level synchronization across the VPN. And the one beauty I really liked about the product line is you can run multiple jobs to multiple locations simultaneously. Usually, whether it’s electronic or any other solution, you finish one job, and then it goes for the second replication job, not simultaneously. In Carbonite Availability, you can have one DR service standby server in the head office, another one across the VPN at another DR site, and another one at a third site, like in the cloud. And all these three jobs will be going simultaneously once the initial synchronization is completed. Like, if you delete here, it just deletes everywhere. That means it’s a bit-level synchronization. That beauty, I cannot find in any other product line. It is real-time synchronization. It is high availability. That means if you delete something here, it deletes everywhere. That is the difference.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 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."
"Dell RecoverPoint offers cost savings in the long term."
"It is amazing because it is very easy to test with many alternative bookmarks."
"Customer Service: Very good, EMC did support us to implement it well and gave useful instructions and lessons to help to maintain it well."
"The technical support for Dell RecoverPoint is excellent."
"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."
"RecoverPoint's most valuable feature is the automatic failover."
"We have tested up to a terabyte of data, and it is doing very well."
 

Cons

"The product should provide integration with new products."
"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."
"Dell RecoverPoint is affordable for enterprises but not for mid-size organizations due to the required network investment for bandwidth across sites."
"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."
"The cost of the solution is pretty high. The licensing costs may affect a company's ability to scale."
"It is worth mentioning that this solution is no longer supported, primarily because it doesn't replicate between two different storage systems anymore."
"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."
"The support is horrible."
"The only thing I didn’t like about this is when you do a failover or failback again."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Support is an additional subscription."
"It is considered quite costly."
"The product is fairly priced."
"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."
"Price-wise, it’s a bit expensive."
