Featured Reviews

SamuelThomas - PeerSpot reviewer
Ensures data safety and effective cloud integration with AI-powered protection
Dell PowerProtect DP (IDPA) offers a backup, recovery, and management tool that is very easy to use. It provides a flexible protection suite that accommodates scalability and performance needs. Integration with VMware and multi-cloud protection is effective. AI integration enhances backup operations by analyzing data and ensuring malware protection. Customers also benefit from hybrid cloud options and tiers of backup.
Ingvar  Ingason - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Pros

"Dell PowerProtect is stable and scalable."
"Dell PowerProtect DP (IDPA) offers a backup, recovery, and management tool that is very easy to use."
"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."
"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."
"It backs up our Windows systems and our Linux systems and everything."
"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."
"We use this solution as an integrated backup solution and it is integrated from the backup provider to the Nutanix solution."
"Nutanix has its own backup system known as HYCU, as well as its own virtual server."
"I like the autofill-over feature and the simplicity of the solution."
"Nutanix can converge legacy-style rack mount servers, so it is highly scalable."
"We find the ease of use valuable."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...I rate the technical support a nine out of ten."
 

Cons

"One area of Dell PowerProtect DP (IDPA) that can be improved is probably more integrations with third-party software, particularly third-party backup software."
"The only thing that could be improved would be the complexity of the initial setup."
"We cannot add IDPA to DPC, and each IP has a DP Central, which cannot monitor other IDPAs."
"The solution's implementation was very complicated and could be improved."
"The price could be lowered slightly, to make it more competitive."
"The two-factor authentication is missing from Dell products."
"Dell PowerProtect DP needs to include more features and improve backup for a continual base."

"I would like to see the multi-cloud improve."
"The solution's setup process should be simplified."
"It could be cheaper."
"Nutanix is not secure enough, and it needs to be more resilient."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is a cost-effective solution."
