Earlier, if a customer wanted to implement a backup solution in their environment, they used to have backup software, a storage solution to store the data, and another solution for monitoring and reporting. Hence, we had different solutions or products doing their work. 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. IDP comes as an appliance, and once it is used and deployed internally, we get the virtual edition. Clubbing the solutions together in the virtual edition gives us a centralized scope of work.

The solution is good. We are a small enterprise. The solution is strong.

I like the speed and deduplication features. They are quite good.

It's a converting solution. We don't need to manage different devices. For example, for storing the data, you don't need to have separate storage. It is in a purposeful built-in backup pipeline. It's a very good product.

For our purposes, we are happy with the product. We don't have any challenges and it is not that critical to managing. For a person having any kind of backup experience, background in the backup software, he'll be able to manage it easily. It's one of the best products in the field.

The product offers an easy initial setup.

The pricing is good. It's not the most expensive option.

It gives you a very good deduplication ratio. It is my understanding that no other database can do this much deduplication.

We bought Dell IDPA to compress our backups. 

Dell PowerProtect is stable and scalable.

What I find valuable about Dell PowerProtect IDPA is its stability and strong performance. The bundled software is a valuable inclusion, making it easier to participate in tenders with confidence. The ease of reinstalling software gives us a competitive edge, contributing to a smoother and more efficient tender process.

The product is integrated with Huawei software and its backup and recovery time is very fast. 

The upgrade process is a single upgrade. You don't have to upgrade Avamar Data Domain separately for DTA. These products get upgraded automatically with one upgrade.

It is very simple to perform an upgrade of the system and the environment.

DPA is built-in, and you have other features such as the DPA search. DPS search is a pretty good feature.

The DPC, which is data protection central, is a single pane of glass view of the environment. This is a new feature and it is helpful.

The most valuable feature is the deduplication rate. It is high and quite commendable.

This product is very easy to deploy. It is integrated and you don't have to buy software then find hardware to work with it because it is an all-in-one solution.

The product is easy to troubleshoot and store data. It has a 99% success rate for data recovery.

IDPA's best feature is Turbo Boost Technology. The compression and duplication features are excellent, too.
