"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."
"The initial setup is very straightforward. Deployment typically takes about one hour. You just need one person to handle the deployment process."
"The deduplication is probably the most valuable feature of that requirement."
"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 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."
"I have no stability issues to report...The initial setup is quite simple."
"The reporting is very good compared to other tools."

"The most valuable feature is that the backup and restoring process is very fast."

"We rarely need their help. I would give their technical support an 8.5 out of ten. We are satisfied."
"It's a bit difficult for first-time users."
"Dell Data Protection Advisor's feature for data domain protection needs enhancement."
"They should empower their customers with the ability to upgrade this solution as long as it's in the same major release."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The stability of the solution needs improvement for stand alone users."
"The monitoring could be a bit better."
"They could simplify the process of installing, and provide more space for data during the process."
"They could improve the interface a bit."
"The NetBackup software is based on Red Hat Linux, but we should have multiple software options for that. We should have more OS options. Also, there are too many tools and intermediaries. Everything should be built into an all-in-one solution."
"Technical support for this solution needs to be improved."
"We had some problems with the backup of the physical server."
"It would be a better solution if we were able to make more reports in regards to the backup system."
