Keith Bradley - PeerSpot reviewer
VP Of Security at NatureFresh™ Farms
Unified backups have protected our hybrid environment and simplified recovery across sites
Some of the best features that we find within the suite of Dell PowerProtect Data Domain and Dell PowerProtect Backup Services is the integration into the vSphere portal, VXRAILs, and areas that have made it so quick and easy to use. The latest expansion into Dell Native Edge has also been a great feature for us to add an expansion into that. These features benefit our company by allowing a small IT team like ours to not have to go to multiple panes of glass to see what we are doing. We can go right into one spot, see where our backups are, understand the situation, restore, make a new backup, move it, migrate it from one location to the other really quickly and easily without having to go into a lot of technical detail.

Easy to setup, good support and stable product
When we started, we used Acronis for both cloud and on-premises backups. Protege was a reliable solution, and the cloud-focused approach is well-suited for our current needs. If you require both cloud and on-premises backup capabilities, Acronis is a more comprehensive solution. For solely cloud-based backups, Protege is a solid option.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Dell PowerProtect Backup Services is a strong solution for the backup platform and an enterprise-grade backup solution that delivers reliable data protection and recovery while still having some opportunities for enhancement."
"The features I appreciate most with Dell PowerProtect Backup Services are ease of use, as the interface is well-designed."
"Some of the best features that we find within the suite of Dell PowerProtect Data Domain and Dell PowerProtect Backup Services is the integration into the vSphere portal, VXRAILs, and areas that have made it so quick and easy to use."
"Some of the returns on investment I see with this product are security and saving time."
"When it comes to the features I find most valuable in Dell PowerProtect Backup Services, I assess its ability to integrate with AWS, Azure, and GCP for consistent data protection."
"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."
"The user interface of Dell PowerProtect Backup Services is simple to manage and can manage multiple use cases on a single dashboard, which is very valuable from the customer perspective."
"Since it is on the cloud, it is a very stable solution."
 

Cons

"Dell PowerProtect Backup Services can be improved by providing more granular reporting and analytics, enhancing the user interface, and expanding support for additional cloud-native workloads, as well as offering faster technical support response time for complex issues."
"In the next release for Dell PowerProtect services, the final step would be to integrate both the on-prem and the cloud-based models that they are using, allowing us to get that final single pane of glass to function with everything in the product suite."
"There are ways Dell PowerProtect Backup Services can be improved."
"In discussion with the company last year at Dell Tech World, the pricing model needs improvement because they are using shared resources."
"I think the pricing could be better, or they could improve support, automations, or customizations."
"Dell PowerProtect Backup Services can be improved, and the biggest improvement they could make would be with their support side, as often when we call in for support, we possess more knowledge than the support staff, which is disappointing."
"One area for improvement would be expanding its capabilities beyond Azure-specific backups."
