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 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."
"What I find valuable about Dell PowerProtect IDPA is its stability and strong performance."
"The product is easy to troubleshoot and store data."
"The most valuable feature is the deduplication rate."
"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."
"We don't need to manage different devices."
"IDPA's best feature is Turbo Boost Technology. The compression and duplication features are excellent, too."
"It's durable — we achieve what we expect from it."
"Its ability to cover a large spectrum of products and operating systems is invaluable. We evaluated other products but always found certain limitations like some products had only intel-based virtualization, while others had power servers."
"The product is stable and reliable."
"The most valuable features are the ability to create a trust relationship and historical reports."
"It has been around for so long, and it is very in-depth. It has a solution for everything that you can cover."
"Good graphical user interface. It's easy to create policies and to do installs."
"Veritas NetBackup is a reliable, easy-to-use, and easy-to-deploy solution."
"It is very easy to back up and recover files compared to other products."
"The price could be lowered slightly, to make it more competitive."
"Managing the product is a little bit complicated."
"We cannot add IDPA to DPC, and each IP has a DP Central, which cannot monitor other IDPAs."
"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."
"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 two-factor authentication is missing from Dell products."
"The only thing that could be improved would be the complexity of the initial setup."
"The product must enable data migration from on-premise to the cloud."
"The solution must provide a different way to schedule backups."
"It is a very expensive solution. They should have a different scheme for selling it. They should also make it easy for us to switch from Solaris to Linux. We are having some trouble in migrating our actual catalog from Solaris to Linux."
"The flip side about NetBackup is that it is not policy-based."
"The backup operation interface is not as mature as those of Veritas's competitors and has room for improvement."
"The speed of restoring data could be improved."
"Lacks a reporting feature."
"The deployment time is longer than it is with other products."
