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 solution is strong."
"The product is easy to troubleshoot and store data."
"The product is integrated with Huawei software and its backup and recovery time is very fast."
"It is very simple to perform an upgrade of the system and the environment."
"It backs up our Windows systems and our Linux systems and everything."
"We use it for complete backup and recovery. We have multiple clients and have created multiple large virtual capabilities and zoning backlogs."
"Dell PowerProtect is stable and scalable."
"IDPA's best feature is Turbo Boost Technology. The compression and duplication features are excellent, too."
"Live Mount is where we do the majority of our big recoveries, unless it is a file recovery. A file recovery takes a few minutes to restore to where the file in the event a file was accidentally deleted by a user, etc. There has been at least a 90 percent reduction in recovery time based on our previous solution, from the need to recover something to when it's actually recovered went from hours to minutes."
"They have a great PowerShell module and easy mediums to speak to the people who create and enhance them."
"I don't know if it is the best or the worst but it's very easy to install and very easy to balance. Sometimes that it's a problem because the installer of these data gets extremely scared because it's so easy. The product is easy to install, easy to balance, and easy to work with. Another really good point is the instant recovery."
"The file search feature across all backups has been helpful."
"The most valuable features of Rubrik are the restoration and ease of use."
"It has the ability to test DR in a controlled, inexpensive way and to restore between environments."
"A reduced infrastructure complexity and fast to rack and go."
"CloudOn allows for backed up virtual machines stored offsite in Azure to be instantiated as an Azure virtual machine and spun up."
"The price could be lowered slightly, to make it more competitive."
"The solution should be easier to use."
"There is room for improvement in terms of network connectivity."
"The two-factor authentication is missing from Dell products."
"We would like to see the pricing drop a bit."
"Dell PowerProtect DP needs to include more features and improve backup for a continual base."
"Managing the product is a little bit complicated."
"The only thing that could be improved would be the complexity of the initial setup."
"Two areas I would like to see improvement in Rubrik are pricing and localization."
"Capacity reports could definitely be improved. It's hard to determine what is using the space and why. For instance, you can see that some host is using 2 TB on the Rubrik node and the disk space on that host is 400 GBs. It's hard to explain how there can be 2 TBs of data on local storage when nothing has changed on the host for the past three days."
"The solution needs to be more secure and needs to better protect against ransomware."
"Needs integration with video CD (coming in the next release) and a multi-tenant GUI."
"I have a personal want which might not necessarily make sense with Rubrik as a company or Rubrik as a software, but it'd be really nice if they could also handle things like item-level backups and restores of Active Directory objects and DNS and DCP objects."
"Lacks availability in a NFR format of virtual appliances to test them in public cloud environment."
"There is always room for improvement with some shortcuts for the web interface. They could make it even more beautiful."
"It is already very well furnished, but live mounts for Nutanix AHV would be amazing."
