We performed a comparison between Dell PowerProtect DP (IDPA) and Veritas NetBackup 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."The solution's most valuable features are networker and continuous data protection."
"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."
"The product is easy to troubleshoot and store data."
"We use it for complete backup and recovery. We have multiple clients and have created multiple large virtual capabilities and zoning backlogs."
"It backs up our Windows systems and our Linux systems and everything."
"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."
"It is important, when we chose a solution, that the customer service/technical support team could help us when we needed it, but the support was good."
"Its ability to cover a large spectrum of products and operating systems is invaluable. We evaluated other products but always found certain limitations like some products had only intel-based virtualization, while others had power servers."
"It is pretty stable. We have one dedicated technician that is taking care of all the data protect. Typically, we have an issue once a month, if that. Or once every two months."
"I like NetBackup's accelerator feature. You can take a full backup with incremental speed and integrate it with block tracking."
"The solution is easy to learn."
"Its most valuable features are flexibility and reliability."
"The solution is stable."
"We believe that everything Veritas NetBackup offers, including backups, snapshots, deduplication, and replication, is valuable."
"We cannot add IDPA to DPC, and each IP has a DP Central, which cannot monitor other IDPAs."
"The two-factor authentication is missing from Dell products."
"Managing the product is a little bit complicated."
"There is room for improvement in terms of network connectivity."
"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 solution should be easier to use."
"The solution's implementation was very complicated and could be improved."
"Veritas could simplify the firmware recovery in terms of the deployed. The process shouldn't be dependent on the agents. It should be completely agentless."
"Technical support only gets back to us the following morning."
"The backup operation interface is not as mature as those of Veritas's competitors and has room for improvement."
"They need to work on the GUI. It has been the same for the last 10 years."
"The HTML interface is a web application that does not offer all the features."
"The product needs to improve its GUI. It needs to make use of a web interface."
"It needs support for Kernel-based Virtual Machines (KVMs)."
"They need to improve their support. In the beginning, their engineers had trouble understanding the issue we were presenting. It took a lot of conversations for them to start troubleshooting the problem."
