PPDM represents the next generation of backup software and is comparable to offerings from other vendors.

"A lot of improvement is required in Dell's first level of support."

"An additional feature that would be appreciated is disaster recovery automation."

"The interface can be a little clunky at times."
"There is a familiar error that pops up and that is a VM error as much as it is a Nakivo error. It says that the job couldn't calm the VM and restores might be impacted. That error is, to say the least, a bit scary. I have seen this type of error on other backup systems also."
"My first thought was maybe the GUI could be improved, although it works."
