We performed a comparison between Dell PowerProtect DP (IDPA) and Rubrik 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 backs up our Windows systems and our Linux systems and everything."
"The solution's most valuable features are networker and continuous data protection."
"We don't need to manage different devices."
"The solution is strong."
"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."
"We use it for complete backup and recovery. We have multiple clients and have created multiple large virtual capabilities and zoning backlogs."
"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."
"Rubrik has made the process to manage backup and recovery painless. This frees up more time to work on other projects."
"It has a good interface which is simple to navigate and utilize."
"Mounting recent backups to create new servers rather than cloning servers in VMware drastically cut down required time."
"When it comes to saving time managing our backups, Rubrik has saved us a lot of time compared to what we were using. It feels like it has saved us lifetimes of time because the process used to be difficult. It's not just the day to time savings. When something goes wrong, that's where the real time savings comes into play. We are able to get back to where we need to be more confidently and with much fewer steps."
"Automation functions, image based backup, and the ability to instantly recover anything from files to databases."
"There is a live-restore feature, their Live Mount, and the way it works we can instantly recover a VM, a past backup, to be directly attached to our VMware environment. Rubrik will act as a disk for it. It's like an instant restore. Within a few minutes our VM is up and running. And then, if we want to restore it, we can just migrate it to our actual storage."
"The security and the ransomware protection are most valuable."
"Intelligent agent technology."
"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."
"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 two-factor authentication is missing from Dell products."
"The price could be lowered slightly, to make it more competitive."
"We would like to see the pricing drop a bit."
"I would like to see integration with Dell EMC's Cloud Tier."
"Managing the product is a little bit complicated."
"The web interface could benefit from some improvement, particularly in terms of alerting and dashboard clarity. The cloud web interface is somewhat confusing and could use more development attention. Additionally, it's essential to ensure that local on-premise management options remain available alongside cloud-based solutions, as internet availability can affect backup management. Regarding features, cross-hypervisor restore functionality would be a valuable addition, allowing for greater flexibility in restoring VMs across different environments."
"Setup is immediate but pricing is not cheap."
"The solution's reporting feature could be better."
"They should give more access to the backend capabilities. From a customer point of view, you do not have access to all the features on the system. You have to engage their support to perform some of the tasks. It would be helpful for an experienced engineer to be able to go and do some of those tasks prior to contacting the support."
"I want to see more features regarding filtering in the Snapshot Window, as I need to be able to set a filter for specific dates and times. If I want to check an old backup, I must scroll through one or two years of backups to find what I'm looking for."
"There is room for improvement in pricing. After the licensing, the price tends to go up as time goes by."
"There are some corner cases where the Rubrik Connector (Agent) still doesn't work for our clients."
"It would be nice if they could work on the pricing a bit."
