Automation has reduced backup overhead and simplifies multi-cloud protection and disaster recovery
The biggest advantage of Dell PowerProtect Cloud Snapshot is that it is agentless, which means Dell manages the platform by reducing maintenance effort and operational overhead. It protects workloads across cloud platforms such as AWS and Azure through a single user graphical interface, and it automatically protects new workloads while reducing manual backup admin tasks, which in turn minimizes human errors. Automation in Dell PowerProtect Cloud Snapshot helps define protection policies such as which resources to protect, when to take snapshots, how long to retain them, and where to copy them, effectively creating and managing snapshots and their retention. The solution does help to streamline IT operations by providing centralized visibility into backup operations, audit logs, and recovery readiness through Dell PowerProtect Cloud Snapshot, which also assists administrators in monitoring protection status.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"We turn on the solution and it works well for backing up our data, it is easy to use."
"The solution has helped us maintain the backups, compliance, and integrity of the data residing on the servers and endpoints."
"The most valuable feature I have found to be the management console; it is very easy to use and automation is important, and additionally, overall the solution is easy to use."
"I have experience with the technical team of the product, and I feel that they offer good support."
"It provides quick backup recovery."
"The product offers very easy configuration capabilities."
"It covers the need to block threats, investigate incidents, and ensure disaster recovery. This approach aligns well with current cybersecurity trends."
"Technically, the solution is good, but we also have to look at the ecosystem, the pricing policy, and such things."
"In terms of ROI, I would say that Dell PowerProtect Cloud Snapshot saves backup admins between 10 lakh to 20 lakhs per annum, providing a strong ROI by automating protection policies and lowering operational costs."
"Dell PowerProtect Cloud Snapshot has a positive impact by reducing downtime and giving us confidence in recovery."
"It is easy to restore VMs in the cloud."
 

Cons

"They could support Linux OS primarily for servers."
"There could be some changes done to the action page to simplify it."
"I keep submitting a request for more flexible reporting. I'd like to create custom reports in my own way, rather than just combining the pre-defined modules."
"Not many people know about this product, so they may need to concentrate more on marketing."
"The agent stability needs improvement."
"Support could be improved, and awareness is important."
"I would like to see enhancements made to the security."
"It will be good if Acronis can provide more documentation and videos describing how to do different things. Their documentation is good, but it is without examples. They don't have lots of videos. They should put more videos on YouTube to show how to set up certain things, how to restore, and how to back up. They should provide step-by-step documentation and videos for specific scenarios. I would like them to improve the command line feature. The command line is not working smoothly, and there is some problem with it. If the command line is improved, it will take the product to the next level. It would be great if it can back up data from storage so that people are able to back up old data. Such a feature will make it an enterprise solution for a full backup."
"Regarding scalability, I find that while Dell PowerProtect Cloud Snapshot offers multi-cloud scalability, it is not one of its strongest features."
"One area for improvement with Dell PowerProtect Cloud Snapshot is the reporting dashboard."
"However, it depends on the customer's use cases and whether they really want to spend that much money and time on it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is moderately priced."
"I would rate the product's pricing a seven out of ten. The solution costs around 75 USD for 1TB per month."
"The product’s pricing is expensive."
"It's a subscription license with free trial licenses."
"The solution is a bit expensive for medium-sized companies."
"It is not a cheap product."
"The product is not that expensive, making it a product that can be considered for purchase. I rate the product's price a four on a scale of one to ten, where one is expensive and ten is cheap."
"The solution is a bit expensive, but it's worth the price."
