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.
