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."Dell PowerProtect is stable and scalable."
"It is very simple to perform an upgrade of the system and the environment."
"The product is integrated with Huawei software and its backup and recovery time is very fast."
"It backs up our Windows systems and our Linux systems and everything."
"The product is easy to troubleshoot and store data."
"IDPA's best feature is Turbo Boost Technology. The compression and duplication features are excellent, too."
"What I find valuable about Dell PowerProtect IDPA is its stability and strong performance."
"The solution is strong."
"Instant recovery because it takes about 10 seconds to restore the VM from backup to production"
"The ease of use is the most valuable feature. It is a very simple system compared to just about any other back up technology. It is extremely easy to use and very versatile."
"It has a single pane of glass interface."
"This is a centralized tool where we are able to schedule backups and perform monitoring."
"The tech support is extremely helpful."
"Rubrik is an easy and automatic solution that needs no manual intervention."
"Rubrik has made the process to manage backup and recovery painless. This frees up more time to work on other projects."
"We had some VMware issue as VMware did some changes on the AHCI drivers. Rubrik saved our environment those times."
"After resizing and compression, the system continuously runs out of space. Dell EMC doesn't do automatic cleanup or other things, so we constantly have to manually go in there or work with Dell support on this. The solution has not been working as advertised."
"The two-factor authentication is missing from Dell products."
"I would like to see integration with Dell EMC's Cloud Tier."
"We cannot add IDPA to DPC, and each IP has a DP Central, which cannot monitor other IDPAs."
"There is room for improvement in terms of network connectivity."
"We would like to see the pricing drop a bit."
"Managing the product is a little bit complicated."
"The product's index master feature needs improvement."
"I would like to see more information on encryption with the next release."
"If there was something that we could get Rubrik to fix, it would be when our DBS takes snapshots of a server or the database, the replication doesn't kick off fast enough. They can't remote it to the peer site and manipulate it back up in order to move it over, take a copy of production, slap it over, and test it out. As I understand, they are working on it. Replication works. We also get spoiled by how good things are now. We get to a point where it is so easy but when something isn't instant gratification, it seems that everything else is so amazing, why isn't this right?"
"With multiple Rubrik clusters setup in an environment, it becomes painfully obvious that this product needs a central management console."
"If I could take a snapshot from a physical and be able to stand it up as a virtual immediately without the need to rebuild an entire system and restoring files, that would be HUGE."
"Better integration for complex NAS structures having to mount at root adds time and workload to the process of NDMP."
"I have a personal want which might not necessarily make sense with Rubrik as a company or Rubrik as a software, but it'd be really nice if they could also handle things like item-level backups and restores of Active Directory objects and DNS and DCP objects."
"There is always room for improvement with some shortcuts for the web interface. They could make it even more beautiful."
"They have what's called an organization which means different groups of access to Rubrik, but the alerting only goes to the admins. My suggestion to Rubrik is to make sure that the separate organizations or groups of users get the appropriate alerting."
