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 integrated with Huawei software and its backup and recovery time is very fast."
"The solution is strong."
"It backs up our Windows systems and our Linux systems and everything."
"The most valuable feature is the deduplication rate."
"It is very simple to perform an upgrade of the system and the environment."
"What I find valuable about Dell PowerProtect IDPA is its stability and strong performance."
"We use it for complete backup and recovery. We have multiple clients and have created multiple large virtual capabilities and zoning backlogs."
"Dell PowerProtect is stable and scalable."
"While I do not recall whether the latest version is 10.0 or 11.0 I do know that it allows one to make a back up repository that is very scalable and simple."
"I enjoy the ability to quickly search for VMs through the Veeam console."
"I like Veeam a lot because it solves problems, is stable, and runs very well."
"The most valuable aspects are the latest features in version 12.1, which introduced enhanced security features."
"I'm pleased with the ability to search for documents; it's very useful."
"It lets you verify a backup with the least amount of effort."
"Features with the most value are Instant VM Recovery, SQL Explorer and Exchange Explorer."
"It's not complex to replicate and back up the system."
"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 cannot add IDPA to DPC, and each IP has a DP Central, which cannot monitor other IDPAs."
"We would like to see the pricing drop a bit."
"The price could be lowered slightly, to make it more competitive."
"The solution should be easier to use."
"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."
"Device backup could be improved."
"It would be ideal if users could know that their data is backed up and have some security functionality where you can actually use the backup to spin up a new cluster and take it from there."
"The patching can be quite difficult at times."
"The Veeam backup application interface is application-based and not web-based."
"The SME that helped us with the implementation would probably have more insight because he used it way more than we have. We just use it for making sure that our backups are done daily, and the replications are being performed between sites. We haven't had any issues at all with it other than the fact that there is a slight process to acquire additional licenses if we want to expand our number of hosts. That's because it is based on the number of cores and threads that are used."
"The price can be a bit expensive."
"If they could add more support for all of the modern hypervisors, that would make Veeam much better and more flexible to work with. For example, there is no solution for VM to VM replication when it comes to Oracle OEM servers."
"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."
