User Testimonials
	Dell RecoverPoint	VMware Site Recovery Manager
Likelihood to Recommend	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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	SRM is a must-have tool if your business requires you to failover your VMs to a disaster recovery site and provide valid testing and real-time numbers. Our VP office is always amazed at how easily we are able to satisfy our annual testing and show actual results with time stamps and the sequence of each VM that is up and running. SRM may not be needed in a very small business that does not have the capacity nor the need to have their infrastructure off site in a form of a disaster recovery site.

Pros	Affordable pricing. Integrations for automation. Compression options. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Easy to build a recovery plan Easy to test recovery plans Works with storage based replication or non storage based replication Alejandro Contreras Infrastructure Architect Read full review
Cons	Until now I don't have any but in this technological era there are bugs in every software but are fixed in next patches or new releases. Incentivized KG Kunal Gupta Consultant Read full review	I am not very pleased with the overall licensing cost. It's pretty expensive. Especially if you have a small number of VMs, you are paying a lot. We had a little struggle getting our support tickets resolved by VMWare support. Incentivized Ravinder Gupta Senior Oracle Database Administrator Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	EMC been good to use as of now. Incentivized Khanh Thai Director of Information Technology Read full review	- easy to set up - easy to protect critical servers in case of disaster Incentivized Abhishek Thakor Associate Consultant Read full review
Usability	Product is easy to use with details what is replicated and you can easily tag your datastores Incentivized KG Kunal Gupta Consultant Read full review	VMWare SRM is very easy to use and configure. You don't have to be a virtualization expert to learn SRM configuration and execution. Incentivized Ravinder Gupta Senior Oracle Database Administrator Read full review
Support Rating	I don't really have to call support too much, but when I have to they are always there to help. Incentivized Khanh Thai Director of Information Technology Read full review	Sometimes we have to struggle explaining the problem and getting it resolved on priority. The overall quality of support team is not as good as it used to be in past. Incentivized Ravinder Gupta Senior Oracle Database Administrator Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Veeam Backup & Replication is slower than VMWare SRM and doesn't suits our RTO (Recovery Time Objective). Incentivized Ravinder Gupta Senior Oracle Database Administrator Read full review
Return on Investment	Recoverpoint allowed the Business to have DR capabilities across a multitude of EMC arrays. It allowed the centralization of VM's to be protected across environments both locally as well as remotely. Recoverpoint can bring RTO down to minutes and can keep RPOs down to quickly restorable levels as well. Incentivized David Yezersky Professional Services Engineer Read full review	The biggest positive is that we have a data recovery solution that we can test and verify in a live condition. Prior to this we were only hoping we could recover from a disaster. We've been only running for 4 months and haven't had to use SRM. Incentivized Dan Forlano Supervisor LAN Support Read full review
