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 product is integrated with Huawei software and its backup and recovery time is very fast."
"It is very simple to perform an upgrade of the system and the environment."
"The most valuable feature is the deduplication rate."
"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."
"We use it for complete backup and recovery. We have multiple clients and have created multiple large virtual capabilities and zoning backlogs."
"What I find valuable about Dell PowerProtect IDPA is its stability and strong performance."
"The solution's most valuable features are networker and continuous data protection."
"IDPA's best feature is Turbo Boost Technology. The compression and duplication features are excellent, too."
"Replaces legacy tapes and disk backups which are unreliable, expensive and space consuming."
"A Google-like file search, system scaling, and a frequent development cycle are some positives that this solution offers."
"What I like the most about Rubrik is its user-friendly interface."
"The initial setup is easy."
"Its reporting is most valuable. I like how it reports that everything is successfully backed up. It provides a summarized report that I can give to auditors and management."
"In the event of any issues or questions, the support is top-notch. We rarely need to use support, but when they are needed, they are always quick to respond and very knowledgeable."
"When it comes to saving time managing our backups, Rubrik has saved us a lot of time compared to what we were using. It feels like it has saved us lifetimes of time because the process used to be difficult. It's not just the day to time savings. When something goes wrong, that's where the real time savings comes into play. We are able to get back to where we need to be more confidently and with much fewer steps."
"Live Mount is where we do the majority of our big recoveries, unless it is a file recovery. A file recovery takes a few minutes to restore to where the file in the event a file was accidentally deleted by a user, etc. There has been at least a 90 percent reduction in recovery time based on our previous solution, from the need to recover something to when it's actually recovered went from hours to minutes."
"Dell PowerProtect DP needs to include more features and improve backup for a continual base."
"We would like to see the pricing drop a bit."
"Managing the product is a little bit complicated."
"The solution should be easier to use."
"The solution's implementation was very complicated and could be improved."
"The only thing that could be improved would be the complexity of the initial setup."
"The product's index master feature needs improvement."
"I would like to see integration with Dell EMC's Cloud Tier."
"The solution's reporting feature could be better."
"The reporting in the dashboard and reporting for extractions both need improvement. I would suggest making them easier to understand and use, not just out-of-the-box. We should also be able to customize them."
"They support Hyper-V and it works with our CloudOut, the cloud DR, but they seem to add features for VMware first and Hyper-V gets added second or sometimes several releases after the VMware feature comes out."
"Lacks availability in a NFR format of virtual appliances to test them in public cloud environment."
"The reporting, in particular the customization of reports, needs to be improved."
"A singular system is needed to manage all of the clusters."
"Troubleshooting failed backups is difficult, and deciphering the logs without the help of support is usually almost impossible."
"I would like to see more openness for partners to access and assist in system management. Currently, access is limited, often handled by Rubrik personnel, likely due to security concerns."
