"The most valuable feature of Quest Rapid Recovery for our organization is the VM recovery functionality."
"One feature I found that's the most valuable in Quest Rapid Recovery is the VM standby feature which is very useful for my current customer. The solution also has a great replication feature. The third most valuable feature in Quest Rapid Recovery is the five-minute RPO and the fifteen-minute RTO. The solution is also very user-friendly."
"Built-in encryption helps to secure our data as it travels from our on-site server to our off-site backup server."
"The fact that it can take a snapshot of everything on a server and replicate it on another server in real-time is the most valuable feature."
"The best feature of the solution is the user interface."
"Just knowing that the data is easily recoverable is our ROI. It definitely lowers risk."
"The compression and deduplication features have helped to save on storage costs."
"The most valuable feature is the disaster recovery process from the data center."
"The downside of PowerProtect's flexibility is that you have so many options. It can be a little confusing. It's like having a car with too many buttons on the dash. You can do so much with it, but it takes some time to learn what everything does."
"The price could be improved."
"I would like to see better integration and support for backing up to cloud providers such as Alibaba Cloud."
"DD Boost."
"The usage of this solution is a bit difficult to develop processes, and it takes a long time to market permits."
"Looking at Dell PowerProtect DD (Data Domain), there is a need for improvement, especially in terms of protection from cyber resiliency, cyber recovery, or man-in-the-middle attacks."
"Technical support needs improvement."
"The licensing model was the biggest concern for our company, but the poor support after the initial implementation is of equal concern."
"When you do a full backup, all of the memory resources on the server are used, which is something that should be improved."
"Sometimes, when we have certain batches for Windows, it needs to be restarted. When it's restarted, the service is configured as a delayed start. Sometimes, you need to wait too long until it rights itself, or you have to do it manually."
"In terms of what needs improvement in Quest Rapid Recovery, though the solution is seamless, right now, they are just giving the software which means we'll need to arrange the hardware. If they can combine the appliance and software, that would be a great approach. In the next release of Quest Rapid Recovery, it would be great if they'd add a folder backup feature because only a snapshot backup feature is available at the moment."
"It is quite surprising to me that the configuration cannot be backed up automatically, and I think that Rapid Recovery should have an option for scheduled configuration backup."
"Rapid Recovery can only backup the machine or disc, but it can't back up from folders, and files, and things like that."
"I don't really think that there is a whole lot that needs to be changed. It would be nice if you could deploy the agent without having to reboot. When I upgraded my core to the latest version, I also wanted to update all of my servers, but I had to put that off because I can't just shoot it out there. I have to make sure it is at a time when I can do a reboot right away."
"There could be better space management for incremental data. When you use incremental data, the space in the appliance keeps on going up. There should be a better way to manage the space. You have to manage the incremental data to reduce the time."
"It's buggy. That's a big problem. We're arranging to get rid of it. We're going to switch to Veeam."
