Automation has reduced backup overhead and simplifies multi-cloud protection and disaster recovery
The biggest advantage of Dell PowerProtect Cloud Snapshot is that it is agentless, which means Dell manages the platform by reducing maintenance effort and operational overhead. It protects workloads across cloud platforms such as AWS and Azure through a single user graphical interface, and it automatically protects new workloads while reducing manual backup admin tasks, which in turn minimizes human errors. Automation in Dell PowerProtect Cloud Snapshot helps define protection policies such as which resources to protect, when to take snapshots, how long to retain them, and where to copy them, effectively creating and managing snapshots and their retention. The solution does help to streamline IT operations by providing centralized visibility into backup operations, audit logs, and recovery readiness through Dell PowerProtect Cloud Snapshot, which also assists administrators in monitoring protection status.

Cloud backups have strengthened ransomware recovery and now protect critical business data
I see several areas where Infrascale Backup & Disaster Recovery could be improved. First is the architectural design and configuration, along with operational maturity, as well as security integration. The performance of support can definitely be improved with easier on-call support features for P1 and P2 incidents. Getting quick support from the vendor during major recoveries or disasters would be greatly appreciated. Additionally, improving the strength of ransomware protections, addressing critical gaps in deployments, enforcing backup immutability policies, and making disaster recovery testing routine instead of an ad hoc process are important. Validating that I can quickly recover data should be a priority, and improved runbooks or operational maturity platforms would be beneficial for data recovery from critical incidents.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"In terms of ROI, I would say that Dell PowerProtect Cloud Snapshot saves backup admins between 10 lakh to 20 lakhs per annum, providing a strong ROI by automating protection policies and lowering operational costs."
"It is easy to restore VMs in the cloud."
"Dell PowerProtect Cloud Snapshot has a positive impact by reducing downtime and giving us confidence in recovery."
"The experience that we have had with this product is generally good."
"The overall ease of use and management of the solution using the Infrascale Dashboard is very good. We haven't had any issues. It is easy to learn. Most of our techs who deal with backups are usually up and running with the dashboard within a day or so. They don't have a lot of buried features where you have to dig through things to get to the resolution. It is pretty self-explanatory."
"The biggest lesson that I have learned from using this product is that we should have switched years before we did."
"For me, Infrascale had the best package to offer to my customers, including features, pricing, implementation, and support; everything that comprises the total solution."
"The Infrascale Dashboard is very easy to understand, has a good overview, and gives me access to all my appliances without having to have a local VPN connection to the individual clients. It makes it very easy to find my way around."
"Overall, this product is really solid and they're a very good company to work with."
"The recovery of data is the most valuable feature. The software backup, which is just a program that gets installed on a server, can back up to the cloud. You can install that on a server or PC, and that will simply back up a user's files and folders. If it is installed on the server, we just back up the relevant data. Recovering that, if there has been a malicious attack on a business or anything like that, has been invaluable in the past. The good features about that are obviously, if the physical hardware has a problem, then we can utilize the appliance, turn on the virtual machine, and carry on running the business while we put the hardware back and correct the issue."
"With this, the speed to recovery and the confidence during recovery is very good, and the recovery actually works."
 

Cons

"However, it depends on the customer's use cases and whether they really want to spend that much money and time on it."
"Regarding scalability, I find that while Dell PowerProtect Cloud Snapshot offers multi-cloud scalability, it is not one of its strongest features."
"One area for improvement with Dell PowerProtect Cloud Snapshot is the reporting dashboard."
"I think they could increase security. I would like to see more features for the section on the viruses and maybe another in reference to two-factor authentication."
"They can always make the GUI a little bit nicer, the interface level a bit better. There's always room for improvement."
"There could be some room for improvement in the on-premises hardware selection."
"Having options to replicate between their data centers, once the data is offsite, would be an improvement that they could make."
"There could be some room for improvement in the on-premises hardware selection. It is hard for them to deploy a lot of different hardware options. Depending on footprint size and overall capabilities, that is where there could be some flexibility in some cases. However, it is not a deal-breaker."
"User interface and navigation are also not that good."
"The only thing I would suggest, and I have talked to my manager about it already, is that they should have a direct backup-to-cloud solution. It should be something that does not require me to do an image backup, and then individual file and folder backups, to be able to restore individual files."
"There is room for improvement by making the interface a little more intuitive when navigating to recover flat files or an old server."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The licensing structure was changed some time ago and it's a lot more efficient and the price points are a lot better. They're improving and heading in the right direction."
"I appreciate their pricing. We went for this solution for its pricing."
"Infrascale's pricing, to me, was outstanding and was one of the major factors in my decision to go with Infrascale... My customer had a different solution before and his monthly payment was three times as much as the payment he now has with Infrascale."
"They are incredibly fair and willing to work with their partners to make their pricing work for both partners and the end users."
"You get unlimited clients and buy a bucket of space. In addition to the standard fees there were setup fees."
"It is super competitive. It is worth taking a look at it from a licensing and pricing perspective."
"The pricing is fair, and they are interested in working with MSPs as part of their market."
"Our licensing fees are billed every four months."
