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."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."
"Dell PowerProtect is stable and scalable."
"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."
"It backs up our Windows systems and our Linux systems and everything."
"The technical support is excellent. It's one of the best I've met so far."
"Most of the features that we can use with HPE products are directly integrated with the Veeam. This is very important for the customers to have only one pane of glass to manage the backups and also use the HPE products for the backups."
"The fast backup and restore feature is the most valuable."
"Replication is most valuable."
"The ability to offload backup snapshots to the SAN helps with reducing the backup durations."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to verify that backups are valid."
"The initial setup was very easy."
"It helps with process restoration. With Veeam, we never had backup or restoration issues."
"The two-factor authentication is missing from Dell products."
"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."
"Dell PowerProtect DP needs to include more features and improve backup for a continual base."
"The solution should be easier to use."
"The price could be lowered slightly, to make it more competitive."
"I would like to see integration with Dell EMC's Cloud Tier."
"I would like to see the replication and a recovery plan of the servers in the cloud. It's very important."
"If you upgrade too quickly, you may have issues."
"The ability to do more backups should be addressed."
"It's a great product, but only if you have everything virtualized."
"I would like to see a storage application in the next version of the product."
"The automation could be better."
"The only issue on which we would like to see for improvement would be, potentially, the ability to do some different things with recovery, like faster recovery onsite."
"I like the Acronis backup solutions on the block-based part of backups. That is a functionality that Veeam does not provide."
