We performed a comparison between Azure Backup and Dell PowerProtect DP (IDPA) based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Backup and Recovery solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Azure Backup is good because it is entirely cloud-based, which means that you can be 99.9% sure that your backup is safe."
"It is a stable solution...The product is worth the money you pay for it."
"It's very simple to configure which is very useful. It's not complex to configure it."
"The best aspect of the solution is its backup functionality."
"The product is very reliable and easy to use."
"The most valuable feature is the ease in which it backs up our data."
"All of the core features are valuable to us."
"The hardware is always updated and it's saved us a lot of money."
"The product is integrated with Huawei software and its backup and recovery time is very fast."
"Dell PowerProtect is stable and scalable."
"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."
"What I find valuable about Dell PowerProtect IDPA is its stability and strong performance."
"IDPA's best feature is Turbo Boost Technology. The compression and duplication features are excellent, too."
"The product is easy to troubleshoot and store data."
"It is very simple to perform an upgrade of the system and the environment."
"The only thing I would say that could be improved is the reporting."
"It doesn't have the option to have a backup from the database. It has backup for the files, folders, and backup only the whole virtual machine. But if I need to do a backup from the Oracle database, from an Exchange server or from SharePoint, this ability isn't there. There is no application backup."
"The extensibility onto hybrid environments needs a bit of tweaking for those on-prem."
"We would like to see some kind of notification given to the user that a file was not synchronized well or what may have happened."
"To make it a ten, it should have the ability to extend the retention and to perform a copy of the data outside of the subscription - with no additional costs."
"I can’t use the solution to restore another native cloud solution. Azure must add this new feature."
"I would like to see more automation, integration, and security. The price could be better."
"The monitoring and tagging features could be improved."
"The product's index master feature needs improvement."
"I would like to see integration with Dell EMC's Cloud Tier."
"After resizing and compression, the system continuously runs out of space. Dell EMC doesn't do automatic cleanup or other things, so we constantly have to manually go in there or work with Dell support on this. The solution has not been working as advertised."
"The solution should be easier to use."
"Dell PowerProtect DP needs to include more features and improve backup for a continual base."
"We cannot add IDPA to DPC, and each IP has a DP Central, which cannot monitor other IDPAs."
"The price could be lowered slightly, to make it more competitive."
"The two-factor authentication is missing from Dell products."
