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 deduplication is probably the most valuable feature of that requirement."
"It generates very detailed reports, which makes things easier when it comes to IT auditing."
"The reporting feature and the Dell's continuous improvement of the solution are the most valuable features. The solution not only supports Dell Power Products but also other products."
"The solution is easy to use, flexible and has a lot of out-of-the-box functionality. You can configure the dashboards or you can use a script. However, to fully utilize its capabilities you will want to use a lot of scripts which you will need advanced training. The reports can be customized for many things, such as chargeback billing."
"The platform's most valuable features are data protection and retention."
"It has a lot of stock reports. I believe over 300 canned reports, which for the most part meet a lot of generic needs."
"The initial setup is very straightforward. Deployment typically takes about one hour. You just need one person to handle the deployment process."
"The most valuable aspects of the solution are the compression and the duplication."
"The documentation is good."
"It is essential. We can't do without it."
"It is a good solution. It covers most of the applications."
"The solution offers a lot of really great features that organizations can utilize and take advantage of."
"The features are good."
"I have found the Media Server Deduplication tool, deployment policies, and agentless features to be the most valuable features."
"The main thing I like about NetBackup is CloudPoint. You can take a snapshot of the endpoint and back it up with CloudPoint. The data backups are the most important."
"The Dedup and file storage is great."
"We have encountered issues where we were unable to pull data from the database server. It should also improve the backward compatibility."
"The stability of the solution needs improvement for stand alone users."
"It is difficult to manage the solution with the available tools. You need to know exactly what are you are doing."
"Customization of reports or creating new reports can be difficult. Users need to have a deep knowledge of SQL. 70-80% of customers can't seem to understand how to do it. They don't know how to address reporting. If Dell EMC could simplify it, it would benefit the end-user."
"They should empower their customers with the ability to upgrade this solution as long as it's in the same major release."
"The solution requires more integration with our other solutions. I know that they have full integration with VMware because it is also from EMC. However, we have to have better integration with Microsoft and Nutanix as well."
"Dell Data Protection Advisor's feature for data domain protection needs enhancement."
"The functionality of the Data Protection Advisor is limited and is something that is lacking in this solution. Other solutions like CloudIQ and DDMC provide a much better outlook on how data protection should be done."
"It would be better if it had a cloud integration feature. I would like to use a single product for the cloud instances and the on-premise instances. The price could also be better."
"GUI needs to be more user-friendly."
"I do not really like NetBackup as it is coming from a mix of other software packages."
"Extra features come with additional costs."
"Technical support only gets back to us the following morning."
"The solution could have a more clear dashboard about the license and the operation status."
"Main area that could be improved is the pricing, to make it more competitive"
"The restoration method and the compression ratio need improvement."
