Backup services have improved security and saved time for cloud workloads in test environments

Regarding security or pricing, our experience is definitely limited, but I can say that support is good. I think the pricing could be better, or they could improve support, automations, or customizations. Dell PowerProtect Backup Services can be improved, and I want it to be even easier to manage, to secure the workload, and to restore easily. The areas for improvement with Dell PowerProtect Backup Services include that it is a cloud solution and a SaaS solution for scheduling the tasks to protect workloads. It is not too easy; it is a little closed, as Dell PowerProtect Backup Services does not allow us to customize the schedule in backup tasks, which only has options for daily or twice a day. More options to schedule backup tasks would be better.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Some of the returns on investment I see with this product are security and saving time."

"The handiest feature of Dell PowerProtect Backup Services is that it syncs up our backups to other locations—we don't have to worry about our backups not syncing to other locations, and it monitors and reports to us if there are any issues."

"Ability to restore to any host."

"The CDP backup feature is very nice, as it allows you to take backups at high frequencies and with application consistency."

"The ability to test the backups without having to manually mount the VHDs after restore allows us to check the integrity of the backups."

"Hornetsecurity Altaro VM Backup's most valuable features include its user-friendly interface and the ability to perform data compression updates, which enhance overall efficiency and effectiveness."

"We use the latest feature in Altaro called CDP (Continuous Data Protection) to back up our VMs as often as every five minutes. It allows us to make sure no data is accidentally deleted or overwritten."

"In Hyper-V, I think there are many valuable features, including replication between different hosts, high availability, live migration where I can migrate between one host to another, as well as incremental disaster recovery, which are very good."

"It is a great lesson in keeping it simple."

"Valuable features for us include quick recovery, compression, and deduplication."

Cons

"I think the pricing could be better, or they could improve support, automations, or customizations."

"The initial set up was complex, and I was not able to do the set up myself."

"We use Linux guests on Hyper-V clusters and we really need the file level restore on these VMs (ext3 and 4 file systems) functionality."

"If you look into the performance of a virtual machine and you look to the performance of the physical machine, the correlation between these is totally unclear."

"Hornetsecurity Altaro VM Backup could be improved in several areas, such as enhancing scalability features and possibly reducing the price."

"Stability."

"Improvement areas for Altaro VM Backup include enhancing backup and deduplication solutions for continuous operation and offering an all-in-one solution for hardware backup."
