Reliable backups have protected our manufacturing data and now provide confident disaster recovery
Acronis Cyber Protect Home Office is used to take care of the data for our manufacturing company and its users. I work with CrowdStrike only for antivirus. We have antivirus products, but not as a main solution. The antiviruses we are using are from another vendor. For antiviruses, we are using Falcon CrowdStrike. My main experience is with CrowdStrike antivirus and Palo Alto firewall. These are the two things for security, and we are exploring other software solutions that will be beneficial for us. I track two levels of ransomware protection: one from Acronis Cyber Protect Home Office and one from CrowdStrike. I do not work with Cortex cloud by Palo Alto; I have the hardware on-premise at my location. I do not work with WildFire, Prisma Access, or Prisma SD-WAN, but I will be looking forward to it. This is the only firewall I am using, but very soon, I will be opting for another Palo Alto firewall of the same model that will be working on high availability. I am not knowledgeable about the CN-Series firewall; I can only talk about the one I have. We have acquired one particular brand, a company called Pernod Ricard, which manufactures products like Chivas Regal whisky and Beefeater. Endpoint Detection and Response is something we will explore after a certain period of time and we are looking for it very soon. I would rate this review an overall eight out of ten.

Unified backups have protected hybrid workloads and now enable rapid recovery from ransomware
Dell Data Protection Suite is the most effective solution for my needs. The best features include comprehensive backup recovery across hybrid environments, supporting physical, virtual, and cloud workloads with tools that ensure fast, efficient restores across diverse environments. The flexibility in supporting physical, virtual, and cloud workloads has been a real advantage for us. We had a legacy physical database workload running on-premises alongside a newer cloud application in Azure. Traditionally, we would have needed separate tools to protect each environment, which would have meant extra overhead and complexity. Dell Data Protection Suite has positively impacted our organization by strengthening resilience, simplifying operations, and reducing downtime. Fast recovery is a key positive outcome, as RecoveryPoint for VMs allows us to restore critical workloads to a clean point in time with snapshots within minutes, minimizing downtime during incidents. The accuracy and reliability of the output from Dell Data Protection Suite's AI are generally high, especially concerning anomaly detection and compliance reporting.
