What do you like best about Dell RecoverPoint?

The thing I like best about RecoverPoint is the "DVR" style ability to recover to a very granular point in time. Your RPO can vary per your choice, zero seconds (synchronous) to a few seconds or several minutes (asynchronous). And the point-in-time recovery does work reliably. And EMC support is simply the best. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Dell RecoverPoint?

This isn't necessarily a dislike, but RecoverPoint is not just an appliance you simply plug in and start using. There are considerations for setting up your journals that will vary depending on your RPO, consistency group setup, considerations like latency between sites if you are using RecoverPoint CRR, and SAN zoning configuration requires some planning. All of this is to say that engaging an EMC implementation engineer is highly advisable, and I would even say it is a necessity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Dell RecoverPoint:

Work with your implementation team. Don't plan and implement RecoverPoint alone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Dell RecoverPoint solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use RecoverPoint for fiber channel-based CRR (Continuous Remote Replication), which is replication between geographic sites for DR purposes. We use it to protect production and test workloads running on EMC VNX storage arrays. The main benefit we have realized is reliable data recovery to a specific point in time when we need it. We have not had to use it for a full DR failover. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main solution is to replicate our data out our main facility. Secondly, we are able to use the Target replication as Testing and Pre-Production Environment since the RecoverPoint replication is based on Journalist.
