Cons
"There is always room for improvement. The compression ratio should be improved as well as the efficiency.""A lot of improvement is required in Dell's first level of support.""You need to use additional software to back up entire environments. It will be good if they could support entire tape libraries.""As a new product, there are some things that still need to improve a bit as it matures.""They should include a feature similar to S3 bucket.""The Dell EMC PowerProtect Data Manager reports could improve. There should be different kinds of reports on failures, such as dashboards that we can submit to top management or auditors.""The interface is too complex.""Management is difficult and it is hard to determine when things aren't working properly."

More Dell PowerProtect Data Manager Cons →

"There is room for improvement in the reporting aspect of Druva Phoenix.""Druva Phoenix is optimized to work with x86 platforms, making it unsuitable for backing up non-x86 architectures like AIX. The solution is primarily designed for physical Linux and Windows systems based on the x86 architecture, as well as virtualized Windows and Linux environments. However, if you have an AIX system, it cannot be deployed in the cloud, and therefore, backing it up in the cloud is not a concern.""They were able to give us a very reasonable price considering we were non-for-profit organizations, however, there is always room for improvement on that cost.""Druva Phoenix should include a few reporting features that it doesn't provide currently."
