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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

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

"It is a stable solution."

"The most valuable feature of this solution is its ease of use."

"When it comes to recovering what you need from a backup, it's really easy. You just drill through the directory, find the file and the date that you want, and click to recover. You then pick the directory you want to save it in. Usually, it takes a minute or two and it's done. It's quick and easy."

"The solution offers good documentation."

"Quorum OnQ has a good ransomware protection feature, and customer service and support were very good."

"From a disaster-recovery point of view, one of the things I really like is that I can test the virtual copy of the physical server on a test network and compare the servers side-by-side, without interfering with the production network. So I can see and make sure that the latest copy of the server is the physical copy of the server, without interfering with production."

"Quorum OnQ provides an elevated ability to filter on everything from people's location to age to their voting history."

"The most useful feature is the one-click recovery."

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. The deployment is complex and not simplified, requiring professional expertise."

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

"The cost could be reduced."

"There seems to be a lack of technicians. Sometimes they are very busy and I don't hear back for a day or two. The technicians they have are great. They are fantastic, but it seems difficult, at times, to get in contact with anyone."

"I would really like it if they followed comparable products from other vendors and had an option where you could offload to tape. I know it sounds incredibly antiquated, but the benefit I see is that there would be a better air gap than you have with backing up to an online source."

"They have radio buttons that allow multiselection, which is not intuitive."

"One thing that could be done to improve it would be a single pane of glass for doing disaster recovery testing, where I could have remote consoles in one place... I still have to go to each location in a browser and then bring up the console. I'd like to see them integrate that into a single pane of glass so I don't have to go to each server."

"Quorum OnQ can be improved by providing support for other operating systems like Ubuntu."

"We found that some of the live SQL databases we were backing up would be inconsistent when we would restore them."

"At times the email notifications don't go out, but a quick reset always fixes that problem."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"The pricing is about $1,400 a month. It's a little bit on the higher side. But it's one of those situations where time is valuable for me. So if it costs a little bit more money for me to have a solution that just works and requires less of my day-to-day management, I'm willing to pay a little bit more."

"When we first got the Quorum the licensing was different."

"The total for our current solution's licensing is about $14,000 for 12 servers for three years."

"I am not sure how much it costs, but I know it's expensive."

"When we quote the price of Quorum to customers, they find it expensive."

"The solution’s pricing is economical."

"Quorum OnQ can be described as a medium-priced product...There are no ingress and egress charges in the product."

"We have never questioned whether it is worth it because it so obviously is a great value."
