We performed a comparison between Commvault Cloud and Dell PowerProtect DP (IDPA) 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."Restoring is very fast. In testing, I did a restore for a single item from a mailbox. Within a minute, I had the message back in my mailbox. So, it didn't take hours or days. Obviously, there will be a limit. If we suddenly go into DR and have to restore five terabytes of emails for people, then it will take a couple of days, which would be acceptable. For general usage, where we have to do the odd restore, we have never had issues. It happens within minutes."
"It's easy to configure multiple jobs and media agent locations for each server. We do offsite backups for all of our servers, but we also do onsite hourly backups of them. That has benefited us several times when we had an incident and didn't want to roll back a server an entire day."
"We recommend this product for people who are running the Oracle Virtualization Manager."
"It's very user-friendly. It supports a wide range of workloads. It's quite easy to use, it's very powerful and it's scalable."
"Commvault can actually come in and assist you with aspects of the implementation - and they are quite helpful."
"The product has the best features for scaling up and administering all the solutions from a single platform."
"It is much more scalable and flexible than everything else in the market."
"There are many valuable features of Commvault HyperScale X giving many possibilities to complete jobs."
"What I find valuable about Dell PowerProtect IDPA is its stability and strong performance."

"It is very simple to perform an upgrade of the system and the environment."
"The product is a bit complex."
"Could be easier to implement."
"They need to integrate configuration screens or videos (free training courses, webinars, demos) so that engineers with little experience can fully exploit the features that are offered or managed within the license that was acquired, and thus have better quality and completely satisfactory experience."
"Command Center definitely gives us a complete view of our data. But finding some of the granular, very small items that we sometimes have to find, such as auxiliary copies for tapes, I still find that it's easier to navigate and, sometimes, only possible to find them using the CommCell tool."
"Sometimes, we have a performance issue with the backup speed. So, that has to be rectified and improved."

"The customer support is not good."
"The only thing that could be improved would be the complexity of the initial setup."
"The solution's implementation was very complicated and could be improved."
"The two-factor authentication is missing from Dell products."
"The solution should be easier to use."
"Dell PowerProtect DP needs to include more features and improve backup for a continual base."
"I would like to see integration with Dell EMC's Cloud Tier."
"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."
