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

"The most valuable feature we have found in RecoverPoint is its ability to provide the lowest RPO."
"The setups that we have in place are great."
"Product is self-payable, and due to the data protection provided to the IT environment, we can reach very secure operational levels."
"It can replicate data from a distant location and it can scan it as well. It has continuous data replication with almost no data loss."
"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."
"When it works, it is the best product that is available."
"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."
"It gives us the possibility to migrate/protect customer servers and data in the simplest way."
"Customer Service: Second to none Technical Support: Second to none"
"In Version 7.xx the most valuable feature to me is being able to carry out a test full server failover in which case the primary server is still up and running."
"It takes less time to replicate files between two servers."
 

Cons

"I am waiting for block replication with VirtualBox."
"Integration with VMware is the only thing we need to improve. Another feature I'd like to see is the ability to convert management to HTML. And the integration should also be done on the same level."
"The interfaces could be improved for better ease of use. There's also room for improvement in direct compatibility with other solutions."
"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 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."
"It is worth mentioning that this solution is no longer supported, primarily because it doesn't replicate between two different storage systems anymore."
"Other hypervisors should be integrated with this system. Other hypervisors should be able to get the benefits of this solution."
"Dell RecoverPoint is affordable for enterprises but not for mid-size organizations due to the required network investment for bandwidth across sites."
"Yes I encountered issues with deployment. The information provided in the guide just stated about 2 or 3 communication ports but even after these ports are enabled there are still issues with the 2 servers communicating via Double-Take."
"Not such a good coverage of the most widely used Linux server distributions, so many issues happen while migrating these servers."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is moderate."
"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."
"Support is an additional subscription."
"The product is fairly priced."
"It is considered quite costly."
