Offers good time navigation features and we haven't had stability problems in the twelve years we've been using it
The initial setup was supposed to be complex, and a guy from Atempto went to our site and they did it with us together. So, in the end, it was quite clear and straightforward. The deployment took one day. From time to time, we require maintenance. Most things can be done also automatically. We prefer to do some manually like recycling virtual cartridges. Two people are required for maintenance. Two people use it daily. Time Navigator runs daily, for some backups, even more, three, four times a day, for critical stuff. But for intervention, we have two, three per week.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The time navigation is the most valuable feature."
"Dell PowerProtect DP (IDPA) offers a backup, recovery, and management tool that is very easy to use."
"It backs up our Windows systems and our Linux systems and everything."
"We don't need to manage different devices."
"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."
"Dell PowerProtect is stable and scalable."
"The solution's most valuable features are networker and continuous data protection."
"The solution is strong."
"IDPA's best feature is Turbo Boost Technology. The compression and duplication features are excellent, too."
 

Cons

"They are working on the improvement we're looking for. The web GUI is flash-based and in around one or two months, they will put everything on HTML5."
"There is room for improvement in terms of network connectivity."
"We would like to see the pricing drop a bit."
"Dell PowerProtect DP (IDPA) requires more updates and innovations in AI-powered cyber resilience."
"I would like to see integration with Dell EMC's Cloud Tier."
"We cannot add IDPA to DPC, and each IP has a DP Central, which cannot monitor other IDPAs."
"The solution's implementation was very complicated and could be improved."
"The product's index master feature needs improvement."
"The price could be lowered slightly, to make it more competitive."
