We performed a comparison between Dell PowerProtect DP (IDPA) and NetApp AltaVault based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."We use it for complete backup and recovery. We have multiple clients and have created multiple large virtual capabilities and zoning backlogs."
"IDPA's best feature is Turbo Boost Technology. The compression and duplication features are excellent, too."
"We don't need to manage different devices."
"The product is easy to troubleshoot and store data."
"The solution is strong."
"The most valuable feature is the deduplication rate."
"Dell PowerProtect is stable and scalable."
"It is very simple to perform an upgrade of the system and the environment."
"It's pretty simple. Once you set it, it goes; and then the idea of being able to get it to the cloud very quickly. It's kind of a set-it-forget-it."
"Its initial setup is easy."
"It's so easy to work with."
"The solution is very easy to use and it offers great support."
"You can store backups for a while."
"The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that it is easy to use and integrate with whichever operating systems you use, providing you with a complete view, especially when you plan to migrate to some other operating system."
"The most valuable feature is the portability of large archived data. You're able to put things on large on-prem, low-cost storage and then augment that with even lower cost storage in the cloud."
"Being able to move data seamlessly from one-premise to the cloud (Azure). It works great. The backup solution is perfect for us."
"We would like to see the pricing drop a bit."
"The product's index master feature needs improvement."
"There is room for improvement in terms of network connectivity."
"Dell PowerProtect DP needs to include more features and improve backup for a continual base."
"I would like to see integration with Dell EMC's Cloud Tier."
"The price could be lowered slightly, to make it more competitive."
"Managing the product is a little bit complicated."
"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."
"More than a 500 volume limit. At the moment, it only supports up to 500 volumes for SnapMirror and that's a problem. We've got 750, so a larger limit for volume replicas for SnapMirror."
"NetApp's own competing products complicate things."
"The solution needs faster indexing."
"More capacity with the basic model of the AltaVault would probably help out."
"I would like to see more web support."
"There are some bits it could do better. With tighter integration maybe with Veeam, or something like that, it'd be really good."
"It would be nice if the solution was more complete. Many customers are looking for a single solution or silo that they can manage everything from. It would be nice, instead of having different products, if everything a client needed was in one solution."
"What could be helpful is different user base authentication so then maybe we could allow different customers to point to a single appliance and they only see the backups and things that they have."
