Find out in this report how the two Backup and Recovery solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The expanse of the decoys that they have is valuable. They cover everything on the corporate side that you would think of, such as Windows, Linux, and even applications like SAP. They also go into the OT environment and emulate OT devices as well."
"The solution also provides me with a complete view of our data. I write scripts to report information from the Command Center daily. I report it in HTML and have the status of the last day for the whole environment."
"I'm a big fan of the reporting. You can build your own reports; it's very customizable. You can have individual reports going to groups of people or individuals. You can have them go out multiple times a day. It's basically a free-for-all as far as reporting goes. If anybody wants a specific job report every day, you can build it, schedule it, and have it go out and never touched it again. It's pretty nice."
"This is a very stable product."
"This product has allowed us to recover data when we've had issues."
"The solution is scalable."
"Technical support is great."
"We recommend this product for people who are running the Oracle Virtualization Manager."
"What I find valuable about Dell PowerProtect IDPA is its stability and strong performance."
"It backs up our Windows systems and our Linux systems and everything."
"IDPA's best feature is Turbo Boost Technology. The compression and duplication features are excellent, too."
"The solution's most valuable features are networker and continuous data protection."
"It is very simple to perform an upgrade of the system and the environment."
"Dell PowerProtect is stable and scalable."
"Instead of four or five tools, consisting of backup software, storage where the backup resides, and a separate system for reporting and central monitoring, they all now come in the virtual edition for IDP."
"The solution is strong."
"For simpler environments, they have some templates for startups. Possibly for a smaller environment, they need to do more automatic configuration and selections of users who want to do backups. This is mainly for smaller environments. I would like them to have the same system fit for all environments: small and big environments. Currently, we have to do a lot of configuration of the layout, which takes time. This solution is appropriate for enterprise-level enterprise, but I would like it to be easier to use for SMB environments."
"Support could improve and the initial configuration would be easier with assistance from a professional engineer."
"With respect to the cloud, they need to offer more integrations."
"Just to keep it running is time-consuming. There are five people on my team. Commvault was supposed to be one of the less time-consuming solutions, but in reality it takes 60 percent of our time just to keep it running, and that's not even fine-tuning it; that's just to keep it running."
"The tool should revise its licensing."
"The product is expensive."
"Data center backup must be improved."
"They need to improve when it comes to large, video file archiving. They're good, but they have not met my expectations as a customer in this area."
"I would like to see integration with Dell EMC's Cloud Tier."
"Managing the product is a little bit complicated."
"We would like to see the pricing drop a bit."
"Dell PowerProtect DP needs to include more features and improve backup for a continual base."
"The only thing that could be improved would be the complexity of the initial setup."
"The price could be lowered slightly, to make it more competitive."
"The solution's implementation was very complicated and could be improved."
"The solution should be easier to use."
