Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."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 deduplication is probably the most valuable feature of that requirement."
"I can increase the tool's licensing as per my requirement with no conditions applied."
"The initial setup is very straightforward. Deployment typically takes about one hour. You just need one person to handle the deployment process."
"It generates very detailed reports, which makes things easier when it comes to IT auditing."
"The platform's most valuable features are data protection and retention."
"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."
"This is a stable solution."
"Overall IBM ProtectTIER is a great solution. It is easy to use."
"The solution is highly stable."
"The most valuable features are the Self-Service, and the ability to search the data."
"The command-line interface is good."
"In terms of stability, I've found it to be very stable. I've walked into the server room when it was at 60 degrees Celcius, and it was still running fine."
"The cataloging is the best feature. It takes millions of frames for the backup. It's incremental, so it takes less time to complete."
"It's a bit difficult for first-time users."
"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."
"They should empower their customers with the ability to upgrade this solution as long as it's in the same major release."
"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."
"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."
"There is a steep learning curve to use the interface and to create new reports, this could be made easier. If the solution could provide more drag and drop functionality to build more advanced reports that would be very helpful."
"The stability of the solution needs improvement for stand alone users."
"IBM ProtectTIER could improve by being more user-friendly."
"The backup for a large amount of data is slow."
"The configuration wizards are still complex and hard to navigate. These should be easier to manage."
"Setting up the system to work with legacy equipment is a bit complex at times."
"I would like the possibility to back up the infrastructure and then replicate it upon on restart, without having to orchestrate the starting of the VM."
