Failover and failback features enhance data protection but interfaces need improvement
I use Dell RecoverPoint as a backup and recovery device for my clients. It provides comprehensive backup and recovery solutions The failover and failback options are the most impactful features of Dell RecoverPoint in terms of data protection. Additionally, the ability to take point-in-time…

Cost-efficient, highly scalable, and installable on different types of hardware
They could improve on support a little bit. We have not had to engage their support much, but when we do have issues, it can take longer to get things resolved. We are pretty lenient as we do a lot of IT support ourselves. We are not very hard on support organizations, but when a customer has a support issue, it would be easier if the support processes were a little bit more automated. It would be beneficial to have an easier way to upload diagnostic dump files. They can make it easy for the customer to collect the diagnostic data. There can be some kind of monitoring solutions to alert users to issues with the appliance or software, making it easy for customers to monitor their systems in the field. This is especially critical because it stores customers' backups, and a failure can have significant business impacts. If a customer does not have the backups and has a disaster, they can be out of business, so monitoring is key.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is amazing because it is very easy to test with many alternative bookmarks."
"The setups that we have in place are great."
"It excels in duplicating data between two distinct types of storage systems."
"Dell RecoverPoint offers cost savings in the long term."
"Customer Service: Very good, EMC did support us to implement it well and gave useful instructions and lessons to help to maintain it well."
"In terms of operational and financial benefits, in case of any disaster, it can recover."
"RecoverPoint's most valuable feature is the automatic failover."
"It has improved RTO and RPO."
"Overall, it simplifies the management of backup and gives me a more secure feeling that my data is going to be available if I need to retrieve it."
"Quest QoreStor definitely saved us money."
"Since we started to resell QoreStor, we have been using it internally; it's better than other backup solutions we have used or evaluated."
"QoreStor has helped us to reduce our backup storage requirements on-premises, and we've been using the same devices for quite a while, so it lets us keep using them as opposed to having to rip out all that hardware and create a new on-prem solution."
"We need revisions and safe backup so that it could be held up in court, but deduplication and compression are the main features why we have Quest QoreStor. That's where it really shines. I use ZFS and XFS at home, and Quest QoreStor is even better."
"It integrates with various backup software solutions, which makes it compatible with existing backup workflows and processes."
"Data deduplication and replication would be the top two features. The encryption and cloud tiering are also attractive for the future."
"The extreme compression of data is a big thing for us. We were looking for an online backup solution, and QoreStor is very good in terms of data compression. It helps us minimize the required storage in the Blob Storage environment."
 

Cons

"Dell RecoverPoint is affordable for enterprises but not for mid-size organizations due to the required network investment for bandwidth across sites."
"When it comes to storage and backup, that is where scalability problems have affected us."
"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 interfaces could be improved for better ease of use. There's also room for improvement in direct compatibility with other solutions."
"The initial setup is complex."
"Currently the product does not support cascaded replication, only "Y" replication."
"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."
"In terms of improvement, we would like to have an Air Gap feature to prevent a virus from attaching to something."
"They need to increase their maximum capacity."
"Overall, I am happy with this solution, but a way to export configuration settings would be beneficial. After everything is set up and configured, there should be a way to export the configuration. In case something happens to the QoreStor server, and we need to reinstall and configure everything, being able to import the configuration would be helpful. This feature does not currently exist."
"The ransomware protection of QoreStor could use improvement."
"They could improve on support a little bit. We have not had to engage their support much, but when we do have issues, it can take longer to get things resolved."
"Support is one point of improvement for Quest QoreStor. Support is sometimes not adequate."
"In terms of improvement, we would like to have an Air Gap feature to prevent a virus from attaching to something. So that when we don't do a backup, we want the QoreStor to stay offline. It would be a nice feature to have."
"They need to increase their maximum capacity. Other than that, they're doing a pretty good job."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is moderate."
"Support is an additional subscription."
"The product is fairly priced."
"It is considered quite costly."
"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."
"Quest QoreStor's pricing is affordable. We evaluated Veeam, a well-known company for backup solutions, but found their pricing to be quite high. Veeam's price was almost double. For us, Quest QoreStor is very affordable."
"Its pricing model is very attractive. You have one price, and you get everything from QoreStor."
"The cost is per terabyte, and overall, the cost was reasonable when compared to some competitors."
"The pricing is good. It is competitive for a managed services provider. I like the ability to pay by the terabyte, allowing for an incremental cost that we and our customers can afford, so the solution grows with the customer."
