Before we start, my only question is that we are only using the Data Protection Manager, so not the full suite. The users using the backup solution mainly consist of me and my colleague. We have integrated it into VMware, so users can restore or take backups of their own VMs, but I am not sure how many are using it because the backups are automatic, and for restores, I think some of them are using them. I would certainly recommend this product for the backup of the VMs, but for the bare metal, I recommend it a little bit less. Overall, I give this solution a rating of eight.

My impression of the administrative interface of Dell PowerProtect Cyber Recovery is that it is very user-friendly and pretty intuitive. Regarding the solution's ability to automate data recovery tasks, we have not had to do mass recoveries yet, but we know we can do it with the tool and we do restores out of Networker. Dell PowerProtect Cyber Recovery is absolutely able to protect our company's critical data. We know how it protects our critical data because we are watching it all the time; it is locking snapshots, protecting and isolating our backups, and we know our backups are there if we need to recover. We are using the recent feature addition for enhancing data encryption. As far as I know, the feature has been good because it encrypts the data. My advice for someone or some company that is considering the solution is to understand the manpower involved because it does require a lot of attention; it does not run by itself. Once it is set up, it does run, but it requires quite a bit of admin. I would rate this product an eight out of ten overall.

One of the key advantages of Dell PowerProtect Cyber Recovery is the isolation capability, which is very important, along with the intelligence that occurs through analytics taking place inside the vault. The second advantage is immutability. I have two main benefits from deploying Dell PowerProtect Cyber Recovery: early detection in case of an attack and fast restoration. With early detection, if ransomware attacks occur, the analytics in the vault will analyze data and identify threats early once they are detected. This ensures that attackers will not remain inside the customer network for an extended period. The second advantage is restoration, as I can guarantee that the data inside the vault will be clean and can be restored quickly using a golden copy that has been identified as clean. Unlike in normal backup scenarios where there might be hundreds of backups with no certainty about which one is clean, we have a clean backup copy already identified for quick restoration. Additionally, by creating a clean room, I can restore critical VMs directly from there, allowing for faster restoration rather than waiting to clean the infrastructure first.

Valuable Features

"The benefit to my company is that our backup workloads are protected, and that is the best feature."
"Having used Dell PowerProtect Cyber Recovery for four years, I can say it has helped my business significantly, especially compared to when we were using NetWorker, which was a pain in the ass."
"One of the key advantages of Dell PowerProtect Cyber Recovery is the isolation capability, which is very important, along with the intelligence that occurs through analytics taking place inside the vault."

Room for Improvement

"I think Dell PowerProtect Cyber Recovery can be improved by including the clean room as part of the product because currently, the clean room is an additional component, and if it will be part of the CRS, then it will be beneficial."
"In terms of areas for improvement in Dell PowerProtect Cyber Recovery, I think the bare-metal part can be improved. My main problem is with the bare-metal recovery."
"I would like more visibility into what is going on with the individual backup images and how they are being scanned, so there are some automation and visibility features that could be enhanced."

These insights are based on the in-depth reviews provided by peers to help you make a better buying decision.
