| Author info | Rating | Review Summary |
|---|---|---|
| Solution architect at GlassHouse | 4.0 | I've used Dell Data Protection Advisor for years to centrally monitor backups, benefiting from its easy setup, predictive analytics, and stability; though somewhat complex, it's scalable and competitively priced, with excellent Dell support when needed. |
| Lead Consultan at HCL Technologies | 4.0 | I find Dell Data Protection Advisor valuable for its compliance management features and integration capabilities with systems like VMware and Oracle. However, the response time from Dell's service is slow. Despite this, it's financially beneficial for ensuring data privacy. |
| Cloud Infrastructure Engineer at Safaricom Ethiopia plc | 5.0 | I've deployed Dell Data Protection Advisor with Avamar, NetWorker, and Data Domain across Africa and India, finding its predictive abilities and seamless integration valuable. While minor GUI improvements and competitive pricing could help, Dell's discounts and integration make it preferred over Veeam. |
| Sr. Engineer at a retailer with 10,001+ employees | 5.0 | In my experience, Dell Data Protection Advisor is primarily used for reporting and alerting users if backups fail. Its valuable features include robust reporting and compatibility with various products, though stability could be improved for standalone users. |
| Jefe de IT at Asociación de Azucareros de Guatemala | 4.0 | I use this stable, scalable solution primarily for backup, appreciating its deduplication and improved RTO/RPO. However, it was complex to set up and manage, requiring advanced knowledge and consultant help, despite great Dell support. |
| Senior Engineer at WellCare Health Plans, Inc. | 1.5 | I rate Data Protection Advisor a 3/10. While stable and useful for audit reports, its limited functionality and inability to advise make it obsolete, as better solutions like CloudIQ and DDMC offer superior data protection insights. |
| Data Protection Specialist at Tech Mahindra Limited | 4.0 | I find Dell EMC Data Protection Advisor provides essential daily backup reports, offering stability and straightforward setup. While its advanced features require a steep learning curve and it lacks some modern analytics, it's a flexible, must-have tool for Dell EMC users. |
| Solution Architect at Open group | 5.0 | We use Dell Data Protection Advisor primarily for data protection, finding its data protection and retention features valuable. Enhancement is needed in data domain protection. It quickly helped us achieve a 75% ROI, and is preferred over Veeam for enterprises. |
