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."The platform's most valuable features are data protection and retention."
"The most valuable aspects of the solution are the compression and the duplication."
"This is a stable solution."
"It has a lot of stock reports. I believe over 300 canned reports, which for the most part meet a lot of generic needs."
"The solution is easy to use, flexible and has a lot of out-of-the-box functionality. You can configure the dashboards or you can use a script. However, to fully utilize its capabilities you will want to use a lot of scripts which you will need advanced training. The reports can be customized for many things, such as chargeback billing."
"The initial setup is very straightforward. Deployment typically takes about one hour. You just need one person to handle the deployment process."
"It generates very detailed reports, which makes things easier when it comes to IT auditing."
"The reporting feature and the Dell's continuous improvement of the solution are the most valuable features. The solution not only supports Dell Power Products but also other products."
"Deduplication is the most valuable feature as it reduces the backup time and provides backup of a single copy of data"
"I like NetBackup's accelerator feature. You can take a full backup with incremental speed and integrate it with block tracking."
"The solution offers the hardware and the software at the same time."
"Great deduplication feature."
"It's durable — we achieve what we expect from it."
"DLO: Client for laptops."
"What I like most is it is a professional product. It supports all kinds of technologies, and I consider it one of the best backup products available."
"Veritas NetBackup is very stable and scales out very well."
"It is difficult to manage the solution with the available tools. You need to know exactly what are you are doing."
"We have encountered issues where we were unable to pull data from the database server. It should also improve the backward compatibility."
"It's a bit difficult for first-time users."
"The functionality of the Data Protection Advisor is limited and is something that is lacking in this solution. Other solutions like CloudIQ and DDMC provide a much better outlook on how data protection should be done."
"Customization of reports or creating new reports can be difficult. Users need to have a deep knowledge of SQL. 70-80% of customers can't seem to understand how to do it. They don't know how to address reporting. If Dell EMC could simplify it, it would benefit the end-user."
"The stability of the solution needs improvement for stand alone users."
"Dell Data Protection Advisor's feature for data domain protection needs enhancement."
"The solution requires more integration with our other solutions. I know that they have full integration with VMware because it is also from EMC. However, we have to have better integration with Microsoft and Nutanix as well."
"This product would be improved with the inclusion of a Sandbox feature like Veeam Sandbox."
"The ability to use different disk appliance brands as Pure Disk (not OST), such as EMC Data Domain ."
"I think reporting can always be improved."
"The solution must provide a different way to schedule backups."
"The deployment time is longer than it is with other products."
"It should be able to integrate with the cloud. If we leverage a cloud in the future for backup, there should be very fast help and more options for customers to choose from."
"Technical support only gets back to us the following morning."
"The reporting of the backups could be better."
