We performed a comparison between Dell PowerProtect DP (IDPA) and NetApp AltaVault based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."We use it for complete backup and recovery. We have multiple clients and have created multiple large virtual capabilities and zoning backlogs."
"The most valuable feature is the deduplication rate."
"What I find valuable about Dell PowerProtect IDPA is its stability and strong performance."
"IDPA's best feature is Turbo Boost Technology. The compression and duplication features are excellent, too."
"We don't need to manage different devices."
"Dell PowerProtect is stable and scalable."
"The product is integrated with Huawei software and its backup and recovery time is very fast."
"The solution is strong."
"Being able to move data seamlessly from one-premise to the cloud (Azure). It works great. The backup solution is perfect for us."
"It's so easy to work with."
"You can store backups for a while."
"The solution is very easy to use and it offers great support."
"Most importantly is having that island into that datacenter, and being able to address things in the same console. Thus, it is irrelevant where it's stored."
"The flexibility. Being able to virtualize it, port it wherever I like, test my backups, test my DR capabilities whenever I like without impacting anybody."
"The most valuable feature is the portability of large archived data. You're able to put things on large on-prem, low-cost storage and then augment that with even lower cost storage in the cloud."
"The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that it is easy to use and integrate with whichever operating systems you use, providing you with a complete view, especially when you plan to migrate to some other operating system."
"The price could be lowered slightly, to make it more competitive."
"We would like to see the pricing drop a bit."
"The only thing that could be improved would be the complexity of the initial setup."
"After resizing and compression, the system continuously runs out of space. Dell EMC doesn't do automatic cleanup or other things, so we constantly have to manually go in there or work with Dell support on this. The solution has not been working as advertised."
"We cannot add IDPA to DPC, and each IP has a DP Central, which cannot monitor other IDPAs."
"There is room for improvement in terms of network connectivity."
"The solution should be easier to use."
"The two-factor authentication is missing from Dell products."
"The solution needs faster indexing."
"The initial setup phase of the tool was difficult."
"There are some bits it could do better. With tighter integration maybe with Veeam, or something like that, it'd be really good."
"More capacity with the basic model of the AltaVault would probably help out."
"More than a 500 volume limit. At the moment, it only supports up to 500 volumes for SnapMirror and that's a problem. We've got 750, so a larger limit for volume replicas for SnapMirror."
"What could be helpful is different user base authentication so then maybe we could allow different customers to point to a single appliance and they only see the backups and things that they have."
"It's a good product, but it's becoming outdated and moving to their other primary architecture."
"I really want to partner it with the SnapCenter. We haven't implemented that yet. We're upgrading all of our stuff to the ONTAP 9, which you had to have."
