"It is a stable solution...It is a highly scalable solution."
"It's easy to deploy."
"With a couple of buttons, we can configure a VM for a backup and use the wall service, the storage wall service, pretty seamlessly."
"It offers seamless integration."
"The best aspect of the solution is its backup functionality."
"There is only one feature, and that is the backup."
"Enables immediate recovery and immediate restoration."
"The solution is strong."
"We use it for complete backup and recovery. We have multiple clients and have created multiple large virtual capabilities and zoning backlogs."
"The product is integrated with Huawei software and its backup and recovery time is very fast."
"It backs up our Windows systems and our Linux systems and everything."
"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."
"The product is easy to troubleshoot and store data."
"It is very simple to perform an upgrade of the system and the environment."
"Dell PowerProtect is stable and scalable."

"The length of time it takes to restore is our main source of frustration. It would be beneficial to shorten the time it takes."
"Lacks an AI system that would enable easier upgrading of the hardware."
"Ransomware protection is missing in Azure Backup."
"The Azure Backup support for on-premises service is limited."
"In Avamar, the file-based restores are very quick and fast, whereas, in Azure Backup, VM restore is super easy, but if I have to do a file or a folder restore, I have to mount the entire VM image. I have to wait for some time for it to be mounted, and then I have to go inside and then check the file and copy it somewhere. It's a bit of a manual process, whereas in Avamar, you can directly select a file and folder, and it'll recover with whatever permissions you want."
"There is a limitation of 99 files restores per day which means that we can't complete a huge file restore. We would like Azure to increase the number of the possible file restorations."
"Azure Backup could improve the backup data copies because they are not immutable."
"The price could be lowered slightly, to make it more competitive."
"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."
"The solution should be easier to use."
"I would like to see integration with Dell EMC's Cloud Tier."
