We performed a comparison between Azure Backup 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."It is easy to schedule backups."
"With a couple of buttons, we can configure a VM for a backup and use the wall service, the storage wall service, pretty seamlessly."
"The fact that Azure Backup is integrated is one of its biggest advantages."
"It's stable."
"Our client’s infrastructure is protected by the tool."
"I like that it's a stable solution and their support is good. I think Microsoft's commercial force is superior."
"This solution allows me to restore either the VM or the data, depending on what is needed."
"Setting up Azure Backup is straightforward and the total deployment time was about a month."
"What I find valuable about Dell PowerProtect IDPA is its stability and strong performance."
"The solution is strong."
"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."
"The product is easy to troubleshoot and store data."
"It backs up our Windows systems and our Linux systems and everything."
"The most valuable feature is the deduplication rate."
"The product is integrated with Huawei software and its backup and recovery time is very fast."
"Ransomware protection is missing in Azure Backup."
"The extensibility onto hybrid environments needs a bit of tweaking for those on-prem."
"In the next release, I would like to see the ability to back up to different cloud providers."
"To make it a ten, it should have the ability to extend the retention and to perform a copy of the data outside of the subscription - with no additional costs."
"I would like to see better pricing."
"The time required to restore files should be a little faster."
"I once tried restoring a Linux environment, and the size of the Linux VM or the data disk was really huge. It took a really long time to restore the environment and send the data from the storage to the disk. It took around 25 to 30 minutes, which was much longer than I anticipated. They can improve the duration of such restore operations. In the next release, it would also be good if they could reduce the duration for transferring the data from their storage to the actual storage while creating a virtual machine. They can reduce the duration or increase the data transfer rate."
"Technical support can be slow to respond at times."
"The product's index master feature needs improvement."
"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."
"The price could be lowered slightly, to make it more competitive."
"Dell PowerProtect DP needs to include more features and improve backup for a continual base."
"There is room for improvement in terms of network connectivity."
"We would like to see the pricing drop a bit."
"I would like to see integration with Dell EMC's Cloud Tier."
