The initial setup is straightforward. The deployment of the solution takes three hours. 

Initial setup was complex. I would rate it 3 out of 5.

We required two people for deployment and maintenance.

The initial setup is straightforward. It comes built-in with IDPA. Previously, if you were using this solution separately, with a license for NetWorker, and you bought Dell EMC Data Protection Advisor then you would have to install it. Otherwise, if you are using an appliance, such as IDPA, then it comes built-in and there is no effort to install. There are a lot of built-in reports that are easy to select the type and pick the destination devices, such as Avamar, NetWorker, and Data Domain. Once you have selected those parameters and scheduled them, you are done. If you want to save the report to a portal or to an email it is flexible.

If you are doing the installation separately it could take a couple of hours to install and configure. However, the time will also depend on your environment and it may take quite some time to configure new reports in that new environment as they have to be configured manually.

It is simple to install and configure.

The initial setup all depends on what your requirements are for deployment. In a simple lab, it's very easy to deploy. If you're setting up a two-data store and application server, there is a little more to it because you've got to deal with that secondary data store, but also if you're dealing with it in a cluster, there's another level of complexity. It's all dependent on how you're deploying it.

The solution's setup is straightforward. The duration of deployment depends on how much data the client has to pull up for backup. If there is only one machine, then deployment can be completed in one to two hours. However, it can also take about three months to complete, depending on the scale of the solution. You would need one admin to oversee the backup policies. 

The initial setup was easy. Deployment took about one month. We only need one person to handle maintenance.

The initial installation is quite straightforward. Deployment took roughly 45 minutes. 

The initial setup is very straightforward. Deployment typically takes about one hour. You just need one person to handle the deployment process.
