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."Easy restoration and the solution works quickly."
"The product's deployment process was straightforward."
"There are many backup options available in this solution. For example, you are able to do backups of servers, email, OST files, and users. This is a complete backup solution which is very good."
"The most valuable feature is the duplication."
"The data protection functionality is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"The ability to switch between different hardware platforms and utilization tools are some of this solution's most valuable features."
"The most valuable feature of Arcserve UDP is live replication."
"Our customers are happy with the product’s functionality."
"IDPA's best feature is Turbo Boost Technology. The compression and duplication features are excellent, too."
"It backs up our Windows systems and our Linux systems and everything."
"We use it for complete backup and recovery. We have multiple clients and have created multiple large virtual capabilities and zoning backlogs."
"The solution's most valuable features are networker and continuous data protection."
"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."
"It is very simple to perform an upgrade of the system and the environment."
"The product is easy to troubleshoot and store data."
"We don't need to manage different devices."
"It takes much time to verify and consolidate images for backups."
"Licensing can be quite difficult."
"I think that the price could still be a bit cheaper and I do not like that they have been purchased by Arcserve."
"We could not go into granular details of retrieving backup information."
"The product is not user-friendly."
"StorageCraft ShadowProtect can improve by making one console that can control backups of all desktops and servers in one place. Additionally, the recovery process of the backups is very slow and could improve. It's very slow when we went to recover a complete disc but to recover one file is very fast."
"The only problem with the solution is that when I change the drive capacity, it has to do a full backup. It's a problem when I have five servers to backup. When I only want to change the size of the drive, I have to do a full backup that can take one week."
"It should be easier to switch between backup locations. We have multiple data storage locations and sometimes one of those storages need to be replaced. It would be nice if they made it easier to reconfigure the backup configuration."
"Managing the product is a little bit complicated."
"The solution should be easier to use."
"We would like to see the pricing drop a bit."
"The two-factor authentication is missing from Dell products."
"The solution's implementation was very complicated and could be improved."
"Dell PowerProtect DP needs to include more features and improve backup for a continual base."
"We cannot add IDPA to DPC, and each IP has a DP Central, which cannot monitor other IDPAs."
"The product's index master feature needs improvement."
