We performed a comparison between Dell PowerProtect DP (IDPA) and Veeam Backup & Replication 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."Instead of four or five tools, consisting of backup software, storage where the backup resides, and a separate system for reporting and central monitoring, they all now come in the virtual edition for IDP."
"It is very simple to perform an upgrade of the system and the environment."
"The product is integrated with Huawei software and its backup and recovery time is very fast."
"What I find valuable about Dell PowerProtect IDPA is its stability and strong performance."
"The solution is strong."
"IDPA's best feature is Turbo Boost Technology. The compression and duplication features are excellent, too."
"We use it for complete backup and recovery. We have multiple clients and have created multiple large virtual capabilities and zoning backlogs."
"It backs up our Windows systems and our Linux systems and everything."
"The integration with some storage systems like HP or Nutanix and great support are the most valuable features. You get productivity support. You get a response within one hour, even in the evening or night. The functionality of the whole software is good."
"The product is very simple in its design. We don't need it to perform complicated tasks."
"The most valuable feature is adaptability, where it automatically adapts to the environment that it's being installed on."
"The solution just works consistently. I never have issues with it."
"Vendor integration for many of the enterprise features have allowed for us to have greater performance from our storage vendors further improving on our commitments to protect our clients' data."
"It is a good solution for backups and reporting."
"I have found the backup call feature very good."
"The most valuable feature is the instant recovery."
"The only thing that could be improved would be the complexity of the initial setup."
"Managing the product is a little bit complicated."
"The two-factor authentication is missing from Dell products."
"There is room for improvement in terms of network connectivity."
"The solution should be easier to use."
"We would like to see the pricing drop a bit."
"We cannot add IDPA to DPC, and each IP has a DP Central, which cannot monitor other IDPAs."
"The price could be lowered slightly, to make it more competitive."
"Near-synchronous, better RPO and RTO snapshot-based takes a lot of space and resources."
"It is always nice to get products cheaper."
"The pricing could be better."
"A backup and replication solution should be able to back up a system and do recovery very fast. Even though Veeam Backup & Replication is able to meet most of our needs, it would be better if they can make it faster for backup and restore."
"The SME that helped us with the implementation would probably have more insight because he used it way more than we have. We just use it for making sure that our backups are done daily, and the replications are being performed between sites. We haven't had any issues at all with it other than the fact that there is a slight process to acquire additional licenses if we want to expand our number of hosts. That's because it is based on the number of cores and threads that are used."
"Needs better integration with cloud service providers."
"I would like them to move back to host licensing."
"This is an expensive solution."
