Team Lead of Senior Directors at Net-International
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.

Senior Software Engineer at OmniTier Inc
Improved mobile app development and user experience through optimization and security
The most valuable aspects include the optimization of application performance by optimizing API calls for a smoother user experience and faster load times. Furthermore, I restructured our code base to establish a more efficient development workflow. During my tenure, I integrated various security features for mobile applications, such as JWT tokens for secure authentication and data encryption using AES algorithms. I also focused on secure storage options, secure coding practices, and platform-specific security compliance, like Android's SafeNet and iOS Secure Enclave.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 solution provides continuous data protection."
"With RecoverPoint, we can instantly mount an image Point in Time in case of a problem, and the Recovery Time Objective was improved for sure."
"Customer Service: Very good, EMC did support us to implement it well and gave useful instructions and lessons to help to maintain it well."
"RecoverPoint's most valuable feature is the automatic failover."
"Dell RecoverPoint offers cost savings in the long term."
"The technical support for Dell RecoverPoint is excellent."
"The product does block-level replication very well."
"The customer support and service responsiveness were excellent."
"The Rules Engine V4 is the most valuable feature."
"Without EdgeCast, our website was taking 10 to 15 seconds to load; with EdgeCast, it loads under five seconds and it's a good product."
"The tool's most valuable feature is the Uplynk platform for streaming purposes."
"It's super easy to use and integrate with."
"I recommend this solution because, for me, it's one of the most efficient and performant CDN operators."
"The product is easy to use and easy to implement."
 

Cons

"Other hypervisors should be integrated with this system. Other hypervisors should be able to get the benefits of this solution."
"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."
"Dell RecoverPoint is considered an older technology and is not recommended for new deployments by Dell EMC. It requires double the storage capacity for source and target storage areas, which creates a heavy burden on storage resources."
"The interfaces could be improved for better ease of use. There's also room for improvement in direct compatibility with other solutions."
"Dell RecoverPoint can be improved by virtualizing it, which would use less storage and enhance performance."
"The support is horrible."
"I am waiting for block replication with VirtualBox."
"Currently the product does not support cascaded replication, only "Y" replication."
"The web interface of the Verizon Edgecast portal is very old. It's not user-friendly, slow, and it is missing some valuable features like the ability to make bulk changes."
"The pricing was initially very expensive."
"We could not create more than 15 custom rules."
"The tool needs to resolve its lack of innovation."
"In the next release, I would like to see more global endpoints for their CDN and a lower price."
"The comparable features that we are looking at fits into Cloudflare's free version, as opposed to Verizon EdgeCast, which we are paying for."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Support is an additional subscription."
"The product is fairly priced."
"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."
"RecoverPoint came free as an add-on to the PowerProtect Data Manager backup software from Dell EMC."
"When I modeled it out, we are spending somewhere between $600 to $800 a month with Verizon EdgeCast."
"The product is cheaper compared to other solutions."
"Be careful about the options because to have all the features can be very expensive."
