"It backs up our Windows systems and our Linux systems and everything."

"The most valuable feature is the deduplication rate."
"The product is integrated with Huawei software and its backup and recovery time is very fast."
"It is very simple to perform an upgrade of the system and the environment."
"The solution is very user-friendly and has an easy to use interface. We can manage it easily. It allows for a simple backup."

"I like the incremental backups and their failover."
"The Veeam Backup and Replication Suite is very user-friendly."
"It's stable and reliable."
"The initial setup was straightforward. It's not complicated. It takes around half an hour to implement, but it depends on the performance of the server that you are installing the backup software on."
"The initial setup and deployment are easy. It's straightforward."
"Veeam has a "next, next, finish" installer, and the overall deployment is straightforward. The deployment is easy because Veeam is compatible with all our VMware services and VMs. Veeam Backup and Veeam ONE are integrated into vCenter or vSphere site deployments, so we don't need to deploy each server one by one."
"The only thing that could be improved would be the complexity of the initial setup."
"I would like to see integration with Dell EMC's Cloud Tier."
"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."
"Managing the product is a little bit complicated."
"The price could be lowered slightly, to make it more competitive."
"Dell PowerProtect DP needs to include more features and improve backup for a continual base."
"We would like to see the pricing drop a bit."
"The product's index master feature needs improvement."
"Scalability, if you are talking about Linux, is good. However, if you need to backup more types of solutions or Unix systems, like HP/UX, AIX, etc., it's not compatible."
"It could use deduplication features."
"More Linux systems should be made compatible with the solution."
"In the next version, I would like to see an increase in the locations online. I have found that other products have good pickup location."
"Technical support could be improved."
"The pricing could be lowered if possible."
"There isn't much to improve. They just need to follow the trend or the development of other Linux products. Follow in terms of making the product compatible with new versions of Linux. They just need to include as many versions for Linux as possible."
"It has no cloud backup feature. You can't back up anywhere outside of your local network."
