Featured Reviews

Jerome Edwards - PeerSpot reviewer
Ops Specialist: System Engineer Backup at BCX
Backup platform has provided faster, reliable RMAN protection for critical databases
I apologize, but I'm not in a position to answer what areas of Dell PowerProtect Data Manager I would like to see improved or enhanced. There is still a lot of features that we haven't tried yet. I can't say whether I can answer that because we basically don't experiment as often as we should on PPDM. I won't be able to answer that. Based on my use cases with Dell PowerProtect Data Manager, I would like to see alerts improved, as streamlining the alerts could help. The alerts are becoming an issue because we don't always get notified of certain things via the alerts.

An affordable product that offers a reasonably good technical support
I rate the product's initial setup phase an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is a difficult setup phase, and ten is an easy setup phase. The product's installation phase took me around two weeks. On average, it usually takes about a week or two to deploy when everything is in place. The solution is deployed on a hybrid cloud from Azure.

"I would say flexibility is the most important feature of the product. The performance and speed are the best on the market."
"The management part of Dell PowerProtect Data Manager has improved significantly."
"It's the perfect solution for virtual and container directives. The data reduction feature works well, and we haven't had any issues."

Cons

"We have not had enough time in the product yet to be able to evaluate what would be better or worse with this solution."
"The solution should enhance its user interface and make it more flexible."
"Dell PowerProtect Data Manager should add support for Hyper-V and Nutanix VMs, as well as Kubernetes. Additionally, they should support tape library backup capabilities."
"When I raise a ticket, it sometimes takes a while to get a response."
"PowerProtect Data Manager is missing a feature for takeout, which means I cannot store backup data off-site within the software. This is a limitation for organizations that require off-site solutions."
"A lot of improvement is required in Dell's first level of support."
"They should include a feature similar to S3 bucket."
"As a new product, there are some things that still need to improve a bit as it matures."
