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."I can increase the tool's licensing as per my requirement with no conditions applied."
"The initial setup is very straightforward. Deployment typically takes about one hour. You just need one person to handle the deployment process."
"The deduplication is probably the most valuable feature of that requirement."
"It has a lot of stock reports. I believe over 300 canned reports, which for the most part meet a lot of generic needs."
"It generates very detailed reports, which makes things easier when it comes to IT auditing."
"The platform's most valuable features are data protection and retention."
"The most valuable aspects of the solution are the compression and the duplication."
"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 policy-based backup feature is very helpful."
"The most valuable feature of Veritas NetBackup Appliance is duplication and covers many applications."
"The most valuable feature is that the backup and restoring process is very fast."
"The solution is very scalable."
"Compared to a homemade installation, this appliance is very stable."
"I have no stability issues to report...The initial setup is quite simple."
"The solution is useful for backups."
"The standout feature is its connectivity and robust support. They are easily easy to get hold of, making it convenient for us."
"There is a steep learning curve to use the interface and to create new reports, this could be made easier. If the solution could provide more drag and drop functionality to build more advanced reports that would be very helpful."
"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."
"It is difficult to manage the solution with the available tools. You need to know exactly what are you are doing."
"They should empower their customers with the ability to upgrade this solution as long as it's in the same major release."
"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."
"We have encountered issues where we were unable to pull data from the database server. It should also improve the backward compatibility."
"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."
"The challenge arose due to a space issue. The issue was related to disk breaks, especially when power cuts occurred. One of the disks would break, leading to a loss of functionality."
"Feature-wise, it is quite good, but it is very costly. Its price has gone up quite significantly over the years, and that makes people like us look at alternatives."
"The solution could improve by providing more integration and security."
"The monitoring could be a bit better."
"The scalability isn't great. Every time you want to add storage, you can't just add a little bit, you need to add a lot."
"They could improve the interface a bit."
"It's hard to get to the backups. There are too many tabs."
"The product should provide more AI and ML features."
