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 platform's most valuable features are data protection and retention."
"The most valuable aspects of the solution are the compression and the duplication."
"I can increase the tool's licensing as per my requirement with no conditions applied."
"The reporting feature and the Dell's continuous improvement of the solution are the most valuable features. The solution not only supports Dell Power Products but also other products."
"The initial setup is very straightforward. Deployment typically takes about one hour. You just need one person to handle the deployment process."
"This is a stable solution."
"It generates very detailed reports, which makes things easier when it comes to IT auditing."
"It has a lot of stock reports. I believe over 300 canned reports, which for the most part meet a lot of generic needs."
"The feature that is most useful for us is that it backs up every application that we own."
"It has a very good user interface."
"The tool's information transfer and patching up is easy. The solution offers protection from ransomware which is also a valuable feature."
"The tool's most valuable feature is backups."
"It provides us with the versatility to back up everything we require which eliminates the need for a secondary backup solution."
"There's a very nice central console for the administration of all of the instances."
"Ease of installing, configuring, upgrading, and troubleshooting."
"The backup and restoration are 100 percent guaranteed."
"The solution requires more integration with our other solutions. I know that they have full integration with VMware because it is also from EMC. However, we have to have better integration with Microsoft and Nutanix as well."
"We have encountered issues where we were unable to pull data from the database server. It should also improve the backward compatibility."
"The stability of the solution needs improvement for stand alone users."
"There is a steep learning curve to use the interface and to create new reports, this could be made easier. If the solution could provide more drag and drop functionality to build more advanced reports that would be very helpful."
"Customization of reports or creating new reports can be difficult. Users need to have a deep knowledge of SQL. 70-80% of customers can't seem to understand how to do it. They don't know how to address reporting. If Dell EMC could simplify it, it would benefit the end-user."
"They should empower their customers with the ability to upgrade this solution as long as it's in the same major release."
"Dell Data Protection Advisor's feature for data domain protection needs enhancement."
"The functionality of the Data Protection Advisor is limited and is something that is lacking in this solution. Other solutions like CloudIQ and DDMC provide a much better outlook on how data protection should be done."
"The virtual environment, cloud integration, copy data management features need improvement."
"The user interface could improve, it seems a bit out of date."
"It should be able to integrate with the cloud. If we leverage a cloud in the future for backup, there should be very fast help and more options for customers to choose from."
"There is a big change in Veritas. In the past, we could easily change servers or appliances and continue working by restoring the catalog. We could change servers from Linux to Linux or Linux to Solaris and perform catalog restores to continue working. But with the new version, we are forced to engage Veritas' professional services, which is too expensive."
"It is a very expensive solution. They should have a different scheme for selling it. They should also make it easy for us to switch from Solaris to Linux. We are having some trouble in migrating our actual catalog from Solaris to Linux."
"Within their product lineup, they need to consolidate down to one product. Veritas doesn't have one product that does everything. So, Veritas can do everything, but you basically need to run two products. I would like them to combine all the capabilities into one release."
"The solution's technical support process should be improved."
"It would be better if it had a cloud integration feature. I would like to use a single product for the cloud instances and the on-premise instances. The price could also be better."
