"The solution has no limitations because it does backup for Linux and Windows."
"It is very stable."
"The backup is the most valuable feature. It also makes storage very easy."
"The most valuable feature of StorageCraft ShadowProtect is the speed and the compression of the backups. The compressed backed-up files do not take up as much storage. Additionally, the incremental backups can be done in one minute and be backed up on a disc very fast."
"The ability to switch between different hardware platforms and utilization tools are some of this solution's most valuable features."
"We use it for complete backup and recovery. We have multiple clients and have created multiple large virtual capabilities and zoning backlogs."
"What I find valuable about Dell PowerProtect IDPA is its stability and strong performance."

"It should be easier to switch between backup locations. We have multiple data storage locations and sometimes one of those storages need to be replaced. It would be nice if they made it easier to reconfigure the backup configuration."
"Based on my experience, whenever we need support, there are difficulties with communication when trying to resolve the issue."
"Every time I change the disc, I have to do a full backup."
"Arcserve UDP is in the middle range of complexity. The interface can be developed a little bit more to be user-friendly."
"The solution could improve by being more user-friendly. It can be difficult to assign destinations and choose which files and folders we need to back up. There are some aspects that are unclear."
"The problem is just reliability. If the promises in the marketing material were realized in real life, it would be the perfect solution, but it's just the reliability issues."
"The solution's reporting could be improved and should provide customized reports."
"The solution should be easier to use."
"Dell PowerProtect DP needs to include more features and improve backup for a continual base."
"The only thing that could be improved would be the complexity of the initial setup."
"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."
"The product's index master feature needs improvement."
"Managing the product is a little bit complicated."
"The price could be lowered slightly, to make it more competitive."
