The recent virtual edition has a lot of issues with VMware 8.0. It only works on VMware. It is not available on any other platform like Hyper-V. It is one of the biggest disadvantages of the tool. Dell is not selling the appliances anymore. It's only selling the virtual edition. The vendor must make the virtual edition compatible with other platforms.
It is worth mentioning that this solution is no longer supported, primarily because it doesn't replicate between two different storage systems anymore. Presently, our replication is exclusively done through VMware Site Recovery Manager, focusing on replicating between two similar models.

Our company has an on-premise environment. 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.
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.

There's always room for improvement, although I don't have a specific example on hand. The cost of the solution is pretty high. The licensing costs may affect a company's ability to scale.
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. If the solution could work with other storage solutions, it would be better. I would like them to add automation features across the solution.
Dell RecoverPoint provides continuous data protection with multiple recovery points to restore applications instantly to a specific point in time. It is used to protect applications with bidirectional synchronous and asynchronous replication and digital video recorder (DVR)-like recovery in physical, virtual, and cloud infrastructures.

New products like PowerStore do not support RecoverPoint. The product should provide integration with new products.
