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."The product is integrated with Huawei software and its backup and recovery time is very fast."
"The product is easy to troubleshoot and store data."
"IDPA's best feature is Turbo Boost Technology. The compression and duplication features are excellent, too."
"It backs up our Windows systems and our Linux systems and everything."
"We use it for complete backup and recovery. We have multiple clients and have created multiple large virtual capabilities and zoning backlogs."
"The most valuable feature is the deduplication rate."
"We don't need to manage different devices."
"The solution is strong."
"Veeam replication gives migration tools/options for VMware."
"The most valuable feature of Veeam Backup & Replication is that we can back up in-house and multiple cloud providers' storage."
"Once you get it set up, everything is smooth, and the recovery is excellent."
"Veeam Backup Replication's snapshotting and cloning are the most valuable features."
"We have evaluated other solutions but Veeam is the best for virtualization."
"The solution's best features are its ease of use and replication."
"The solution offers the normal benefits of a virtual machine versus a physical, actual machine. It doesn't take up space, for example."
"The WAN accelerator feature has been the most valuable for me. That feature reduced the time needed to complete the task from 25 days to less than a week! This is compared with the original tools used: ntbackup, robocopy and Windows Server Backup."
"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."
"We would like to see the pricing drop a bit."
"Dell PowerProtect DP needs to include more features and improve backup for a continual base."
"The solution should be easier to use."
"We cannot add IDPA to DPC, and each IP has a DP Central, which cannot monitor other IDPAs."
"The only thing that could be improved would be the complexity of the initial setup."
"The product's index master feature needs improvement."
"The two-factor authentication is missing from Dell products."
"Restoration takes about two to four hours with Veeam. Zerto can restore in about 10 seconds. That's the restoration speed I'm looking for now that we're dealing with ransomware."
"The tech support could be better."
"Device backup could be improved."
"I would like to see a storage application in the next version of the product."
"I have also been struggling with the storage and in some cases I need to move things due to performance."
"Although the solution offers documentation, it has it only in English, which doesn't help us much in Belarus."
"I like the Acronis backup solutions on the block-based part of backups or snapshots. That's a nice functionality that Veeam doesn't have."
"Cross-hypervisor replication can be improved."
