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."The most valuable feature is the deduplication rate."
"We use it for complete backup and recovery. We have multiple clients and have created multiple large virtual capabilities and zoning backlogs."
"Instead of four or five tools, consisting of backup software, storage where the backup resides, and a separate system for reporting and central monitoring, they all now come in the virtual edition for IDP."
"It backs up our Windows systems and our Linux systems and everything."
"What I find valuable about Dell PowerProtect IDPA is its stability and strong performance."
"Dell PowerProtect is stable and scalable."
"IDPA's best feature is Turbo Boost Technology. The compression and duplication features are excellent, too."
"It is very simple to perform an upgrade of the system and the environment."
"I like all the backup features in Veeam."
"Provides lots of reporting and visualization of how much data has been transferred."
"It most valuable features are seeding and faster backups over small links."
"It integrates easily with third-party solutions compared to other vendors."
"Features with the most value are Instant VM Recovery, SQL Explorer and Exchange Explorer."
"Sandbox feature is like a power tool for troubleshooting."
"The integration with some storage systems like HP or Nutanix and great support are the most valuable features. You get productivity support. You get a response within one hour, even in the evening or night. The functionality of the whole software is good."
"There are many valuable features, for example how Copy Job is controlling the band with accelerators. The Enterprise Manager is a valuable feature. There are many very useful features. We can push in the market, because we have an advantage over the other solutions."
"Managing the product is a little bit complicated."
"The product's index master feature needs improvement."
"Dell PowerProtect DP needs to include more features and improve backup for a continual base."
"The two-factor authentication is missing from Dell products."
"The only thing that could be improved would be the complexity of the initial setup."
"The solution should be easier to use."
"We cannot add IDPA to DPC, and each IP has a DP Central, which cannot monitor other IDPAs."
"I would like to see integration with Dell EMC's Cloud Tier."
"In terms of what could be improved, when creating a backup job with Veeam, you can create a daily backup, but it doesn't do it within that job. It does not give you the ability to also set the terms for monthly and/or weekly backups. It has to be a separate job. It gets clunky to manage the timeframes where you don't want a daily to run on this day and creating weeklies. And you don't want a daily to run on this day doing monthlies. That is hard to deal with. It would be really nice if you could do it through a single command line or a single interface."
"The price could be lower."
"The only improvement I could think of is it could be cheaper—cheaper is always good. Sometimes the product is just finished. Cheaper is always nice for the customer, but the company needs to benefit so that they can keep maintaining the product. New Windows versions, etc., always take some work. At the moment, I wouldn't switch to another solution because of the money."
"The only issue on which we would like to see for improvement would be, potentially, the ability to do some different things with recovery, like faster recovery onsite."
"Veeam Backup Replication could improve by having more comparably with other hardware with the immutable copy feature."
"I have used NetBackup. For heavy workloads or if I need consistent backup and restore, I prefer NetBackup over Veeam Backup Replication."
"The reporting feature can be improved."
"I would like to see the replication and a recovery plan of the servers in the cloud. It's very important."
