We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"One of the features I find most valuable, is the good technical support.""The speed and the ease of the initial setup are both good. It is not complex."

More Dell ProtectPoint [EOL] Pros →

"The best feature is that it's very user-friendly to do scheduled backups and version maintenance.""The feature that I have found most valuable is its online backup capacity because you don't have to do an entire backup again and again, it just does whatever you type in, you type a, it goes a, you type b, it goes b. It doesn't take an entire site up again and again. So that incremental and bit by bit backup is important, it is a nice feature here.""The solution is simple to use and easy to configure.""MSP360 Backup's most valuable feature is its backup interface.""The solution is easy to access and handles things efficiently.""Client-side encryption minimizes worries about data being captured on the back-end.""One massive advantage of this solution, as compared to more enterprise products, is that no firewall changes are needed on the client's premises. For the product to back up from the client's premise to the cloud, it just needs port 8 and port 443, which are anyway always open. This was one of the things that made us decide to go with the product. It is very difficult to justify a firewall change for a small client who doesn't even know what a firewall is and how to maintain a firewall, or doesn't have anybody maintaining their firewall. You then have to maintain the firewall. MSP360 Backup takes away firewall change requirements, VPNs, or channels that are needed for the backup.""The UI is pretty good. It's very simple. That is one thing that we like about this. It's very user-friendly."

Cons
"The product has to be more mature, like to be another six to eight months on the market. A lot of maturity needs to be incorporated.""The interface and documentation need to improve."

More Dell ProtectPoint [EOL] Cons →

"The product could be more user-friendly.""As for what can be improved, some reports could be simplified so that you know how much backup you have done and what your backup details are. That report is available but it is very tough to get. I would like to know "today I have just uploaded 35 MB, tomorrow I have loaded 10 MB so my trend of backup is increasing."""Using the solution incurs additional charges for the device storage and backup which are not included in the service.""The initial setup is a little complex as it has to be done in the office and requires someone to come in and install the solution on your server, then configure the scheduling, backup pushing, and so on.""The restore time could improve. When we had an issue the restore time was lengthy.""Maybe implement an easier interface for basic users. For example, a set-up wizard with all the commonly used features as default.""The solution needs a better graphical user interface. It's a graphical user interface that is very old-school right now. They could give it a little more modern feel.""There are some things that we don't like about it. That is why I was exploring alternatives in a hyper-scale environment. That is why I was checking IT Central Station."
