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 most valuable feature is the deduplication rate."
"We don't need to manage different devices."
"Dell PowerProtect is stable and scalable."
"The product is integrated with Huawei software and its backup and recovery time is very fast."
"IDPA's best feature is Turbo Boost Technology. The compression and duplication features are excellent, too."
"It is very simple to perform an upgrade of the system and the environment."
"We use it for complete backup and recovery. We have multiple clients and have created multiple large virtual capabilities and zoning backlogs."
"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."
"The deduplication feature is useful. Deduplication and compression features are what I like about NetBackup."
"The tool provides recovery. The support for their legacy software is very good."
"The most valuable features are the VMware VADP backups and the support for data domains."
"I like that it's enterprise-capable. It can handle multiple operating systems. It can handle multiple database types. It can handle a lot of different backup use cases. It's flexible."
"The solution is easy to learn."
"It's durable — we achieve what we expect from it."
"What I like most is it is a professional product. It supports all kinds of technologies, and I consider it one of the best backup products available."
"It is a good solution. It covers most of the applications."
"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."
"The solution's implementation was very complicated and could be improved."
"The two-factor authentication is missing from Dell products."
"The solution should be easier to use."
"The product's index master feature needs improvement."
"Managing the product is a little bit complicated."
"There is room for improvement in terms of network connectivity."
"Licensing costs are quite high."
"Setup implementation."
"The solution is not easy to use. You need to train yourself step by step because it is complex, but it is a good solution. Its pricing could be cheaper."
"The user interface could improve, it seems a bit out of date."
"The solution is not that stable because it has to be monitored and administered every day. The stability could be improved."
"The product needs to improve its GUI. It needs to make use of a web interface."
"In the next release, I would like to have a better way to protect against ransomware attacks and a better way of logging issues where you don't have to enable the verbose logging to capture the problems."
"The biggest problem with NetBackup is licensing."
