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 solution is strong."
"We don't need to manage different devices."
"IDPA's best feature is Turbo Boost Technology. The compression and duplication features are excellent, too."
"It is very simple to perform an upgrade of the system and the environment."
"We use it for complete backup and recovery. We have multiple clients and have created multiple large virtual capabilities and zoning backlogs."
"The product is easy to troubleshoot and store data."
"What I find valuable about Dell PowerProtect IDPA is its stability and strong performance."
"The product is integrated with Huawei software and its backup and recovery time is very fast."
"This is a product that has been on the market for a while and they have mastered the backup process, especially when backing up to tape, for most environments."
"The tool provides recovery. The support for their legacy software is very good."
"We believe that everything Veritas NetBackup offers, including backups, snapshots, deduplication, and replication, is valuable."
"Disaster recovery primarily involves backup usage. We employ it for both backup and recovery purposes. The backup and recovery processes have been executed multiple times, even restoring data from backups created three to four years ago."
"We have an issue with the last version on the latest backup of the solution as it is not compatible with Sybase 16.5."
"I think this is the best backup solution that we have. It is very good for the infrastructure."
"Logs are very easy to read, parse, and use for diagnostics."
"The backup and restoration are 100 percent guaranteed."
"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 only thing that could be improved would be the complexity of the initial setup."
"Managing the product is a little bit complicated."
"The two-factor authentication is missing from Dell products."
"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."
"Dell PowerProtect DP needs to include more features and improve backup for a continual base."
"The price could be lowered slightly, to make it more competitive."
"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."
"Improvements can be made to the service by providing better and more competitive ratios on data backups. The functionality for backups is there with Veritas, but I would like to see them optimize and enhance this feature more."
"The virtual environment, cloud integration, copy data management features need improvement."
"I would like to have support enabled for cloud backups."
"Once the protection plan is created, we cannot pause or resume via the web administration page."
"The restore tool is not friendly to newcomers."
"In terms of improvement, it's very difficult to make it work with multiple business units. Its security model is too constricted."
"The solution could improve by having a feature to backup iSeries workloads."
