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.
I would rate Dell RecoverPoint a seven out of ten. Currently, I am not sure if I would recommend Dell RecoverPoint to others as we are only using it for a small portion of our VMs, while the bulk is managed by Site Recovery Manager. Once we fully operationalize it, we might be in a better position to recommend it.

First, consider the criticality of your data. If you're a bank where you can't afford to lose any transactions, RecoverPoint is a great option. If you have a good budget, it's worth considering. Another excellent product is Zerto, which offers similar functionality. If you have a smaller budget, then Veeam replication is also an option. So, there are three options I've used, and the best choice depends on your company's specific needs. Overall, I would rate the solution a nine out of ten. The main reason I recommend it is the ability to restore data from previous points in time. Also, RecoverPoint is designed to integrate seamlessly with Dell EMC storage. If you don't have Dell EMC storage, you can't use it with other brands like IBM or HP. If you do have Dell EMC, it works well. Another good EMC product is SRDF (Symmetrix Remote Data Facility); I haven't worked with it directly, but it's worth considering.

Due to its outdated status, it's important to note that can only verify the pre-implementation scenario and deployment details. It's crucial to involve technical experts in the initial kick-off meeting for implementation because the process can be quite time-consuming. The system faced some initial challenges and took approximately seventeen days to become fully operational, causing some overall disappointment. It has been functioning exceptionally well since it was deployed. I would rate it eight out of ten.

I rate RecoverPoint nine out of 10. My advice to future users is to pay for a full support contract with the vendor because you cannot implement it alone. And the RecoverPoint setup is a one-time thing, but if a problem happens, you also need to take care of the critical points. This is what you should take care of on your own. And, of course, the management of RecoverPoint needs to be transferred over. It needs to change from Flashware to stream modify.

I would rate it a ten out of ten. It could use an external application on top of its recover points. Other hypervisors should be integrated with this system. Other hypervisors should be able to get the benefits of this solution.
I would recommend the product. It's good, especially for those who want to do replication and don't have a lot of money. It's a very good product and it uses very little bandwidth. I would rate the solution eight out of ten.

RecoverPoint acts on a block level and it needs an EMC Splitter to work. If your storage arrays are not EMC, then you need to virtualize your storage via VPLEX before acquiring RecoverPoint.
