"We don't need to manage different devices."
"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."
"What I find valuable about Dell PowerProtect IDPA is its stability and strong performance."
"Dell PowerProtect is stable and scalable."
"Its simplicity and the fact that it just works are most valuable. We kind of set it up and generally forget about it. It does what we need it to do in the background, and it doesn't involve a lot of management."
"If you have a lot of central sites and remote sites, you can easily set up the replication and make it easier."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to restore the VMs into a test environment."
"Veeam Backup Replication's most valuable features are the ease of use and the interface is very configurable for the users. It's a very familiar solution in Algeria."
"Most of the features that we can use with HPE products are directly integrated with the Veeam. This is very important for the customers to have only one pane of glass to manage the backups and also use the HPE products for the backups."
"Veeam is easy to use."
"The most valuable feature of Veeam Backup Replication is application awareness. Additionally, the solution is user-friendly and it has been working very well."
"Recovery of backup data is the most valuable feature."
"There is room for improvement in terms of network connectivity."
"We would like to see the pricing drop a bit."
"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 price could be lowered slightly, to make it more competitive."
"Managing the product is a little bit complicated."
"The two-factor authentication is missing from Dell products."
"The solution should be easier to use."
"Dell PowerProtect DP needs to include more features and improve backup for a continual base."
"There is a lot of room for improvement, but the primary issue we have is that it's not built for the cloud."
"I would like to have them come up with more robust features when it comes to individual endpoint protection."
"We have had problems with some jobs. For example, when we have a VM with a large SQL Database, sometimes we cannot adjust the time for transaction logs to back up and overlap time."
"Even though the speed has improved over the years, I think that there are some instances where it still takes a while."
"It is always nice to get products cheaper."
"The replication process is very slow. It takes too long to replicate a virtual machine."
"The tech support could be better."
"They need to focus more on cloud backup."
