Ensures our data is virus-free and protected from ransomware
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.

Once configured, it is easy to manage, but training is necessary due to the technical complexity.

"The most valuable features are the notifications, which give us failure alerts for some infrastructure within the backup, and the reporting is excellent."
"It's streamlined the backup and recovery for my customers in the sense that it has an easy management console that's easy to set up any type of instant recovery."
"The most valuable feature is adaptability, where it automatically adapts to the environment that it's being installed on."
"The ability of instant VM recovery, which means starting the backup VM and getting it online while the recovery is still happening is the most valuable feature."
"I have found one of the most valuable features to be the integrity of the backups."
"There are many valuable features, for example how Copy Job is controlling the band with accelerators. The Enterprise Manager is a valuable feature. There are many very useful features. We can push in the market, because we have an advantage over the other solutions."

Cons

"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."
"The physical server backups and direct storage connectivity need improvement."
"The ability to do more backups should be addressed."
"Veeam currently lacks features for backing up to network-attached storage. Veeam Backup & Replication agents do not support S3 storage. Only Veeam Backup & Replication server supports S3 storage."
"When you have some small issues, you should be able to go through it by yourself and solve the issue instead of opening the ticket and waiting for the engineers to troubleshoot."
"The VMotion feature is not reliable enough to ensure a successful migration operation."
"SureBackup is sometimes a bit difficult to use."
"The stability for AIX machines could be better."
"One challenge that we have encountered was on the long-term retention of data. Be sure to look into a dedicated deduplication appliance."
