We performed a comparison between Dell PowerProtect DP (IDPA) and Rubrik 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."We don't need to manage different devices."
"What I find valuable about Dell PowerProtect IDPA is its stability and strong performance."
"IDPA's best feature is Turbo Boost Technology. The compression and duplication features are excellent, too."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the deduplication rate."
"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 integrated with Huawei software and its backup and recovery time is very fast."
"The solution is strong."
"The file search feature across all backups has been helpful."
"Rubrik has improved our organization by minimizing downtime."
"The Auto-Snapshot SLA feature and recovery time are amazing. It took seven seconds to have a server back up and running in production from a total failure."
"Management is so simple that anyone can check the backups and do restores when necessary."
"The solution is stable."
"Rubrik is an easy and automatic solution that needs no manual intervention."
"Rubrik is a faster unit from a hardware perspective. Things, like Live Mount, mean we can bring services back straightaway, then have them transition back into the live storage in the background. Because we can use Live Mount to do instant restores, a restore is now a five-minute job. Then, the rest of it is done in the background, rather than doing something for an hour before you actually get the restore back."
"CloudOut, because only blocks are pushed after compression and deduplication, not raw sizing."
"The only thing that could be improved would be the complexity of the initial setup."
"The solution should be easier to use."
"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."
"I would like to see integration with Dell EMC's Cloud Tier."
"There is room for improvement in terms of network connectivity."
"The product's index master feature needs improvement."
"Managing the product is a little bit complicated."
"We would like to see the pricing drop a bit."
"I would like to see the entire Office 365 product suite backed up by Rubrik. For instance, they do SharePoint and Exchange online, but they don't back up Microsoft Teams. So, I would like to see more of the Office 365 suite added into their backup capabilities."
"The dashboard and user interface could be improved to make them more user-friendly."
"The Polaris piece could use improvement. When you get a report and you have events that are suspicious, you cannot drill down and find out why it's suspicious. You only know it's suspicious, but you don't know the root cause. Other than that, everything works well."
"They should give more access to the backend capabilities. From a customer point of view, you do not have access to all the features on the system. You have to engage their support to perform some of the tasks. It would be helpful for an experienced engineer to be able to go and do some of those tasks prior to contacting the support."
"The main pain points we experienced was the stability of the system. We received a lot of instability when we have upgraded from a certain version to a new version. The newer version was completely filled with bugs and we needed to purge the system every week until we update to a newer version that was available one year later. The stability of the code is the main problem, they need to make it better."
"The interface is still slightly clunky and has room for improvement. They do work with us whenever we mention anything that needs to be done or anything that we want. We find that bringing up the management interface is a little slow and not as intuitive as we would like, but it's been getting better as it evolves."
"There is always room for improvement with some shortcuts for the web interface. They could make it even more beautiful."
"It needs to support more applications natively, like MySQL/MariaDB."
