We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""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.""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.""This is a stable solution.""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.""I can increase the tool's licensing as per my requirement with no conditions applied."

"The backup and replication are great.""It has saved us numerous times from power outages and server failure.""The interface is basic and very easy to use which is what we are looking for.""The features that I have found most valuable are that it is a cheaper price and user-friendly.""The features that we like the most are the Backup Copy and Active Directory Integration. They have helped us to save a lot of time since we do not have to make the backup copies “by hand”.""The backup for physical machines and replication for the virtual environment are the most valuable aspects.""The initial setup is very straightforward.""The ability to restore in a catastrophic event is priceless, since every company must use a backup solution of some sort."

Cons
"The stability of the solution needs improvement for stand alone users.""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.""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.""It is difficult to manage the solution with the available tools. You need to know exactly what are you are doing.""We have encountered issues where we were unable to pull data from the database server. It should also improve the backward compatibility.""It's a bit difficult for first-time users."

"Space is always an issue.""I need no more valuable features for backs-up. I have not yet tried the latest release, however, I have all the features that I need.""Implementing more comprehensive data deduplication and compression techniques could optimize storage utilization and reduce backup times, improving overall efficiency.""I think it is important to work not only in replicating the virtual machines in Amazon AWS, but in other cloud systems.""I would like to see support for backing up from other platforms, such as physical machines.""In the future, I would like to see support for backing up data to more cloud platforms, besides Amazon.""I would like to see some additional models in the next release to make backups more functional.""In the future, it would be nice to have support for Zimbra email, Collabora Office, and the NextCloud content collaboration platform."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "It's not very expensive — I think the price is fair."
  • "You have to procure the license when you are ordering or quoting for Dell Data Protection Suite (DPS). DPS is bundled with the suite and comes with a license. However, if you purchase NetWorker separately then you will have to procure the license for DPS separately."
  • "For pricing, I would rate Dell 2 out of 5. It's affordable."
  • "You need to make an upfront payment for three, five, or seven years and renew the licenses for support. We can do an annual maintenance contract with Dell. I would rate the product's pricing a six out of ten."
  • "If the customer has huge lineup of Dell Products then they receive discount on the pricing."
  • "The product is affordable."
