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."It's very simple to configure which is very useful. It's not complex to configure it."
"It is a stable solution...The product is worth the money you pay for it."
"We are happy with this product and have not found any issues while using it."
"This solution is easy to configure and restore. It is a Microsoft product so is easily compatible with other solutions."
"The most valuable feature of Azure Backup is the file recovery and file vault."
"I like the product's restoration cases."
"The best aspect of the solution is its backup functionality."
"The MARS agent makes it easy to use."
"The solution's most valuable features are networker and continuous data protection."
"We don't need to manage different devices."
"IDPA's best feature is Turbo Boost Technology. The compression and duplication features are excellent, too."
"The product is integrated with Huawei software and its backup and recovery time is very fast."
"What I find valuable about Dell PowerProtect IDPA is its stability and strong performance."
"It backs up our Windows systems and our Linux systems and everything."
"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 solution is strong."
"While Azure Backup allows ingress data, the egress data is chargeable, which should be excluded."
"I would like to see more automation, integration, and security. The price could be better."
"The product could improve its performance."
"I would like to see better pricing."
"The support for Office365 backup is atrocious and is something that has to be improved."
"I once tried restoring a Linux environment, and the size of the Linux VM or the data disk was really huge. It took a really long time to restore the environment and send the data from the storage to the disk. It took around 25 to 30 minutes, which was much longer than I anticipated. They can improve the duration of such restore operations. In the next release, it would also be good if they could reduce the duration for transferring the data from their storage to the actual storage while creating a virtual machine. They can reduce the duration or increase the data transfer rate."
"I can’t use the solution to restore another native cloud solution. Azure must add this new feature."
"We faced some issues synchronizing the information in Azure when the storage was changed."
"The price could be lowered slightly, to make it more competitive."
"The solution should be easier to use."
"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."
"We would like to see the pricing drop a bit."
"I would like to see integration with Dell EMC's Cloud Tier."
"The only thing that could be improved would be the complexity of the initial setup."
"The solution's implementation was very complicated and could be improved."
"Managing the product is a little bit complicated."
