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."I can increase the tool's licensing as per my requirement with no conditions applied."
"It generates very detailed reports, which makes things easier when it comes to IT auditing."
"The most valuable aspects of the solution are the compression and the duplication."
"This is a stable solution."
"The platform's most valuable features are data protection and retention."
"The deduplication is probably the most valuable feature of that requirement."
"The solution is easy to use, flexible and has a lot of out-of-the-box functionality. You can configure the dashboards or you can use a script. However, to fully utilize its capabilities you will want to use a lot of scripts which you will need advanced training. The reports can be customized for many things, such as chargeback billing."
"The initial setup is very straightforward. Deployment typically takes about one hour. You just need one person to handle the deployment process."
"What I like most is it is a professional product. It supports all kinds of technologies, and I consider it one of the best backup products available."
"There's a very nice central console for the administration of all of the instances."
"It covers all kinds of different architectures. Plus, it's very user-friendly and it is very reliable"
"It provides us with the versatility to back up everything we require which eliminates the need for a secondary backup solution."
"The features are good."
"The Dedup and file storage is great."
"It is important, when we chose a solution, that the customer service/technical support team could help us when we needed it, but the support was good."
"We have an issue with the last version on the latest backup of the solution as it is not compatible with Sybase 16.5."
"Dell Data Protection Advisor's feature for data domain protection needs enhancement."
"The functionality of the Data Protection Advisor is limited and is something that is lacking in this solution. Other solutions like CloudIQ and DDMC provide a much better outlook on how data protection should be done."
"There is a steep learning curve to use the interface and to create new reports, this could be made easier. If the solution could provide more drag and drop functionality to build more advanced reports that would be very helpful."
"Customization of reports or creating new reports can be difficult. Users need to have a deep knowledge of SQL. 70-80% of customers can't seem to understand how to do it. They don't know how to address reporting. If Dell EMC could simplify it, it would benefit the end-user."
"They should empower their customers with the ability to upgrade this solution as long as it's in the same major release."
"The solution requires more integration with our other solutions. I know that they have full integration with VMware because it is also from EMC. However, we have to have better integration with Microsoft and Nutanix as well."
"We have encountered issues where we were unable to pull data from the database server. It should also improve the backward compatibility."
"The stability of the solution needs improvement for stand alone users."
"Setup implementation."
"You cannot tell what your costs are going to be by using the dashboard, which is something that should be improved."
"Updates were not always consistent."
"Planning for the implementation takes a lot of time."
"It's a little bit complex to manage."
"Veritas NetBackup is an expensive solution, and its pricing could be improved."
"I would advise not to use this tool. I think between the licensing issues and the older solution mentality it is not a great solution."
"It would be better if it had a cloud integration feature. I would like to use a single product for the cloud instances and the on-premise instances. The price could also be better."
