Pros
"Granular restoration is extremely useful in Altaro VM Backup for MSPs since it is something that we make use of the most in our company."

More Altaro VM Backup for MSPs Pros →

"The product is easy to troubleshoot and store data.""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 don't need to manage different devices.""IDPA's best feature is Turbo Boost Technology. The compression and duplication features are excellent, too.""The most valuable feature is the deduplication rate.""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.""It backs up our Windows systems and our Linux systems and everything."

Cons
"A technical person who hasn't received any dedicated training or hasn't gone through the documentation part of the solution may find the product to be a little non-intuitive at times."

More Altaro VM Backup for MSPs Cons →

"We cannot add IDPA to DPC, and each IP has a DP Central, which cannot monitor other IDPAs.""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.""Managing the product is a little bit complicated.""We would like to see the pricing drop a bit.""The product's index master feature needs improvement.""The solution should be easier to use.""The price could be lowered slightly, to make it more competitive.""Dell PowerProtect DP needs to include more features and improve backup for a continual base."

    PowerProtect DP series appliance: Simple, efficient and agile data protection

    The DP series is an all-in-one backup appliance that reduces the complexity of managing multiple data silos, point solutions and vendor relationships. The DP series simplifies deployment and management—while delivering powerful, enterprise-grade data protection capabilities for small, mid-size and enterprise organizations at a low cost-to-protect. 

    It is an integrated solution that offers complete backup, replication, recovery, deduplication, instant access and restore, search & analytics, seamless VMware integration — plus, cloud readiness with disaster recovery (DR) and long-term retention (LTR) to the cloud — all in a single appliance. 

    With the DP series, customers reduce their time-to-protect and become more agile with a solution that’s fast, protected more efficiently, can be recovered quickly and is reliable.

    Simple to deploy, scale and manage 

    The DP series enables organizations to protect a broad ecosystem of applications quickly with a single system management console, consolidating workload protection, and eliminating infrastructure or data sprawl. The easy-to-use System Manager simplifies backups and automates daily tasks, including monitoring, management, reporting, analytics and search. The DP series delivers all-in-one data protection: protection storage and software, search and advanced monitoring and analytics, combined with cloud extensibility. It offers integration with VMware, SQL and Oracle management tools so that admins can use familiar UIs.

    The DP series provides support for modern applications like MongoDB and MySQL and is optimized for VMware. It provides fast, single-step recovery of individual files, dynamic policies for VMs as well as complete VMware images, which can be instantly accessed and migrated live from the DP series appliance back to the production environment (using vMotion) while still running, further simplifying and optimizing VM recovery.
