Overall Satisfaction with Dell EMC RecoverPoint

I used the product to backup virtual machines. This had been a challenging area due to the resources that were required and also it had to be easy to maintain. It was also a very manual process for a long time, so backups had to be automated and also sychronised.
  • Continuous data protection
  • Consistent recovery
  • Automated discovery
  • User interface
  • Pricing
  • Local support
  • Backup that is set and forget
  • Supportability for issues
  • Able to recover data in a timely manner
  • Sometimes the recover was hit and miss
  • Licensing cost was a big issue
  • It was relatively easy to configure
Instead of creating the VMs, back them up and then create new VMs based on what had been templated on-premises, the organisation looked at newer and more suitable technologies from Microsoft such as Azure VM Image Builder. This saved a substantial amount of time to deploy new VMs and we made sure the VMs had geo-replication settings to avoid downtime.

Do you think Dell RecoverPoint delivers good value for the price?

Not sure

Are you happy with Dell RecoverPoint's feature set?

Yes

Did Dell RecoverPoint live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Dell RecoverPoint go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Dell RecoverPoint again?

No

If you are a small business and you need a solution that is relatively easy to use and configure, then Dell EMC RecoverPoint is ok. The downside was that I found the cost to be high and was unable to negotiate a good licensing deal. Within a year I had to find a difference software vendor to meet my needs.
