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."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."
"It is very simple to perform an upgrade of the system and the environment."
"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."
"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 easy to troubleshoot and store data."
"Dell PowerProtect is stable and scalable."
"The product is integrated with Huawei software and its backup and recovery time is very fast."
"Replication Job base on a source HPE Catalyst store to perform a full reconstruction of our production systems on our third datacenter, which is our DRP Site."
"The most valuable features are the backup and restoration of our VMs. Additionally, they add features regularly."
"I am not a direct user of this product, but my technical guys tell me that they like the product, and it is easy to use. We don't have any issues with it."
"The most valuable feature is the instant recovery."
"Its ease of use for restore is really good. For Exchange, the Exchange Active Directory is great."
"With Replication, Veeam allows us to have a duplicated VM on standby."
"The technical support is excellent. It's one of the best I've met so far."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to verify that backups are valid."
"The two-factor authentication is missing from Dell products."
"Managing the product is a little bit complicated."
"The only thing that could be improved would be the complexity of the initial setup."
"We cannot add IDPA to DPC, and each IP has a DP Central, which cannot monitor other IDPAs."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in terms of network connectivity."
"The product's index master feature needs improvement."
"Dell PowerProtect DP needs to include more features and improve backup for a continual base."
"In the past, Veeam had a host-based license, but now it will be part of Microsoft's core license. I don't like this licensing model. Host-based licensing is better for my system. Maybe so other organizations prefer the core-based."
"Veeam Backup Replication could improve by having better integration with the cloud. Additionally, they do not have direct integration to S3 or Azure storage for the backups of the VMs. This feature would be beneficial because we have to go through the scalable repository which I do not like."
"The initial setup is not always easy, and customers often need a lot of help to get Veeam up and running successfully."
"I would like to have the capability of backing up a physical machine, as opposed to just a VM."
"I have a problem with the VM. When we started doing a backup, it takes a snapshot for our virtual machines, but when we try it two or three times, in some cases, our virtual machines go to a consolidated state. I don't know why this problem happens. But I still think Veeam is a top-ranking solution."
"Add an archive option to support legal obligations."
"All our customers would like a cheaper license and more flexible deployment."
"It would be nice if it could be integrated with third-party solutions like ours. It has been supporting just Windows and virtual machines."
