Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""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 initial setup is very straightforward. Deployment typically takes about one hour. You just need one person to handle the deployment process.""The platform's most valuable features are data protection and retention.""The most valuable aspects of the solution are the compression and the duplication.""The deduplication is probably the most valuable feature of that requirement.""This is a stable solution."

Cons
"Dell Data Protection Advisor's feature for data domain protection needs enhancement.""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.""We have encountered issues where we were unable to pull data from the database server. It should also improve the backward compatibility.""It is difficult to manage the solution with the available tools. You need to know exactly what are you are doing.""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's a bit difficult for first-time users.""They should empower their customers with the ability to upgrade this solution as long as it's in the same major release."

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."
