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."We use it for complete backup and recovery. We have multiple clients and have created multiple large virtual capabilities and zoning backlogs."
"IDPA's best feature is Turbo Boost Technology. The compression and duplication features are excellent, too."
"The most valuable feature is the deduplication rate."
"The solution is strong."
"The product is easy to troubleshoot and store data."
"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."
"It is very simple to perform an upgrade of the system and the environment."
"We don't need to manage different devices."
"I have found the backup call feature very good."
"Veeam Backup & Replication is a great alternative to what is out there. Some of the backups just allow an agent backup to the cloud. You can back up a thousand different ways, but this is a great way to keep a customer and a company in compliance in that they've got their data secure onsite and offsite. The data being transferred to the NAS at the customer's location and also the data being sent to the cloud is encrypted in transit and it's also encrypted at rest so that nobody is going to be able to hack into that. No one will have the keys to do that."
"Pricing is fairly reasonable and not overly expensive."
"It integrates easily with third-party solutions compared to other vendors."
"Integration with VMware is excellent with very granular recovery."
"The encryption password is used to protect the backup files. Even if someone gains access to the backup job or files, they won't be able to utilize them without the password."
"The initial setup is simple to do in Veeam Backup Replication."
"With Replication, Veeam allows us to have a duplicated VM on standby."
"Managing the product is a little bit complicated."
"The price could be lowered slightly, to make it more competitive."
"We would like to see the pricing drop a bit."
"The two-factor authentication is missing from Dell products."
"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."
"We cannot add IDPA to DPC, and each IP has a DP Central, which cannot monitor other IDPAs."
"I would like to see integration with Dell EMC's Cloud Tier."
"The solution should be easier to use."
"Although the solution offers documentation, it has it only in English, which doesn't help us much in Belarus."
"I would want them to improve some technical features that are still missing because we are working with NetApp NVMe and they're not fully supporting it yet. But both NetApp and Veeam know about it and they're working on it."
"The replication functionality only works for VMware environments. Veeam has a backup agent for AIX operating systems, and we will like to see the replication functionality available for the AIX operating system. Additionally, if the backup functionality for AIX to be included in the Veeam console would be an advantage."
"Veeam Backup Replication could improve by making the monitoring system free. If I would like to have any monitoring system by Veeam I have to purchase it. It should come free with the solution. They should provide a monitoring system to make the work easier and smooth."
"The more features the solution has the more complex it can be to set up. Veeam Backup & Replication can be complex."
"We're using both Backup and Replication, Veeam Cloud Connect, and Veeam Office 365. What I am missing is a good graphical user interface between these three products."
"The solution is rather weak when it comes to database integration."
"Veeam Backup & Replication should include a cloud solution."
