Centralized data protection has improved compliance and reduces sensitive data exposure

Dell Data Protection Suite offers full disk encryption, data loss prevention, centralized policy management, advanced threat detection, and role-based access control. Dell Data Protection Suite has positively impacted the organization by strengthening the data security posture through consistent enforcement of encryption and DLP across endpoints and servers. It has reduced the risk of data leakage, simplified compliance reporting, and lowered operational overhead through centralized policy and key management across multiple customer environments. Since deploying Dell Data Protection Suite, there has been a 40% reduction in data-related security incidents, mainly due to enforced encryption and DLP controls. Compliance audits are completed 30% faster because of centralized reporting and audit logs. Operational effort has been reduced by automating policy enforcement across endpoints and cloud workloads, resulting in measurable cost and time savings.

Its user-friendliness and consolidated dashboard make backups and recovery very easy

Having a single dashboard makes management and monitoring easier because you do not have to log into multiple services and multiple dashboards in order to gather the same information. It is always nice to have a consolidated view of your data and how you are performing your day-to-day operations with backup and recovery if you need to recover any file. It is very easy to restore data. The user interface or the dashboard is very intuitive. It is very easy to use, making it easy to recover or replicate any files. It is extremely important for us that Infrascale has the ability to recover data from any point in time. Data is the jewel crown of any business. If you do not have the right data, you are going to face many challenges in running your business. It is important to recover and restore the right data at the right time so that it does not impact your business and your bottom line.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I'd rate the solution ten out of ten."

"Dell Data Protection Suite is a comprehensive suite offering virus-free and ransomware-free data protection."

"Since deploying Dell Data Protection Suite, there has been a 40% reduction in data-related security incidents, mainly due to enforced encryption and DLP controls."

"The most valuable feature is the ability to boot locally, as well as in Infrascale's cloud. This means that we can either do on-site failover or failover to their cloud."

"The ease of use is valuable. It is user-friendly. Performing backup and recovery can be done very intuitively with the solution and the interface that is part of the solution."

"What I like the most about it is that backups and restores are simple, straightforward, and clean. It does not require six people to get involved in order to do a restore or perform a backup."

"For this particular client, the solution’s Critical Server Insurance feature that protects physical and virtual servers including Windows, Linux, VMware, and Hyper-V, was a very big factor as well. They have a bunch of physical servers, as well as virtual. The mix is predominantly virtual. They also have some NAS boxes that we back up using Infrascale."

"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it is simple to use."

"The program excels at recovering files and folders, both locally and in the cloud, and their team is extremely responsive, which is crucial for service delivery."

"The interface of Infrascale Backup & Disaster Recovery is very easy to use, and there are no problems. It's set it and forget it. You can make adjustments very easily as well."

"Given that we are in the hurricane belt, the spin-up of replicated servers in the cloud is among the most valuable features. If our site goes down we can just connect to the cloud appliance, spin up the servers, and we are good to go."

Cons

"The lack of documentation has been a frustrating point regarding improvements needed for Dell Data Protection Suite."

"While Dell DPS is a powerful solution, it is expensive, which allows competitors to find their place in the market."

"While Dell DPS is a powerful solution, it is expensive, which allows competitors to find their place in the market. The deployment is complex and not simplified, requiring professional expertise."

"They can always make the GUI a little bit nicer, the interface level a bit better. There's always room for improvement."

"Having options to replicate between their data centers, once the data is offsite, would be an improvement that they could make."

"I would like to be able to limit the bandwidth in cases, for example, where we are uploading the backup."

"There is room for improvement by making the interface a little more intuitive when navigating to recover flat files or an old server."

"There could be some room for improvement in the on-premises hardware selection. It is hard for them to deploy a lot of different hardware options. Depending on footprint size and overall capabilities, that is where there could be some flexibility in some cases. However, it is not a deal-breaker."

"I'm a little bit disappointed that over the last year and a half, there hasn't been too much contact from them regarding what's going to be new or coming out."

"They set me up as a vendor, not as a client. So sometimes I end up in the wrong portal and I'm doing vendor things instead of client things, and I didn't realize that right away. Once I figured it out I just changed my favorites on my desktop to go to the client-side."

"One of the significant drawbacks of it is due to the fact that we're using two devices to manage the same vCenter, or virtualization environment, and they don't talk to each other. That means I can't easily see what VMs are already being protected. If I'm on Infrascale device "A" and I have protected these VMs, when I go over to device "B," I can't see that those VMs are already covered."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"Infrascale's pricing, to me, was outstanding and was one of the major factors in my decision to go with Infrascale... My customer had a different solution before and his monthly payment was three times as much as the payment he now has with Infrascale."

"Our licensing fees are billed every four months."

"The pricing is fair, and they are interested in working with MSPs as part of their market."

"I appreciate their pricing. We went for this solution for its pricing."

"It is super competitive. It is worth taking a look at it from a licensing and pricing perspective."

"Pricing of the product could be improved. It definitely makes it a harder sell. They will usually end up getting close to the price we need, but I have to go through everybody to get the price reduced. Their list pricing is significantly higher than that of other solutions."

"The pricing is pretty good and competitive with the market. The per-terabyte pricing is very competitive compared to the others."

"The licensing is based on how much data you have plus what appliances you need."
