We performed a comparison between Arcserve UDP 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."Easy restoration and the solution works quickly."
"I like the tool's speed."
"It is easy to configure."
"Arcserve UDP has a good configuration and user interface. It makes the job of an administrator easy."
"The recovery part of the product is very good."
"Arcserve has a feature called virtual standby (VSB), which has been very helpful because I already have a hot standby copy of my critical infrastructure. If something breaks, I can spin up that virtual standby copy in less than five minutes and ensure that my data is available to everyone and that business continuity is maintained."
"The most valuable feature is the duplication."
"The ability to switch between different hardware platforms and utilization tools are some of this solution's most valuable features."
"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 don't need to manage different devices."
"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 most valuable feature is the deduplication rate."
"The product is easy to troubleshoot and store data."
"The product is integrated with Huawei software and its backup and recovery time is very fast."
"IDPA's best feature is Turbo Boost Technology. The compression and duplication features are excellent, too."
"Arcserve UDP is in the middle range of complexity. The interface can be developed a little bit more to be user-friendly."
"Based on my experience, whenever we need support, there are difficulties with communication when trying to resolve the issue."
"We cannot restore each user's mailbox. Each user's mailbox should be independently restorable. Also, this solution is very slow. If you select all of the servers, it runs for a long time... It needs to be faster. Finally, If anything happens to one server we should be able to switch to another server."
"The only problem with the solution is that when I change the drive capacity, it has to do a full backup. It's a problem when I have five servers to backup. When I only want to change the size of the drive, I have to do a full backup that can take one week."
"The solution's reporting could be improved and should provide customized reports."
"A lot of their new technologies are not very good."
"They could work on their marketing approach. I don't see many people leveraging it."
"The problem is just reliability. If the promises in the marketing material were realized in real life, it would be the perfect solution, but it's just the reliability issues."
"The two-factor authentication is missing from Dell products."
"Dell PowerProtect DP needs to include more features and improve backup for a continual base."
"Managing the product is a little bit complicated."
"The only thing that could be improved would be the complexity of the initial setup."
"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."
"The product's index master feature needs improvement."
