What I would say is that there are a lot of organizations out there, and these organizations are getting hit by cyber actors. It is very important to know that your data is protected and safe, not just in your data domain and structure, but in an isolated vault. If the worst possible scenario happens and all your data gets compromised and encrypted, you have something to fall back on. For every backup administrator out there, it provides the ability to sleep peacefully at night. I would rate this product a 9 overall.

My advice to anyone evaluating Dell PowerProtect Cyber Recovery is to always make sure you test it thoroughly so you understand what you are getting. Once you start testing it, you are going to fall in love with it and you are going to be a Dell customer. I would rate Dell PowerProtect Cyber Recovery a nine on a scale of one to ten, with one being worst and ten being best. I give it a nine because it fundamentally works and checks off the box. The rest of the rating is because they continuously listen, grow with you, and help you expand your cybersecurity strategy. Building a strong cybersecurity strategy is like building a house. If you do not have a solid foundation, you will have a lot of problems. Dell PowerProtect Cyber Recovery is one of the pillars that gives us a solid foundation above and beyond protecting our network and educating our people. It is about protecting our data and our core applications that we need, and it performs reliably in that capacity.
Before we start, my only question is that we are only using the Data Protection Manager, so not the full suite. The users using the backup solution mainly consist of me and my colleague. We have integrated it into VMware, so users can restore or take backups of their own VMs, but I am not sure how many are using it because the backups are automatic, and for restores, I think some of them are using them. I would certainly recommend this product for the backup of the VMs, but for the bare metal, I recommend it a little bit less. Overall, I give this solution a rating of eight.

Beyond just Dell PowerProtect Cyber Recovery, our company is an enterprise user of the complete Dell solution, including PowerProtect Data Domain, PowerProtect Data Manager, PowerMax, PowerStore, and VxRail solutions. All of our products and storage systems are from Dell. If companies are using the PowerProtect solutions, such as PowerProtect Data Domain and NetWorker or PPDM, then it is beneficial to connect with Dell PowerProtect Cyber Recovery for ransomware protection. I would rate this review an 8 out of 10.
The administrative interface of Dell PowerProtect Cyber Recovery is user-friendly. The ability of Dell PowerProtect Cyber Recovery to automate data recovery tasks is effective. Once a problem arises, I can restore the data directly inside the VMs in the vault due to having a clean space available. I work with data encryption in Dell PowerProtect Cyber Recovery, which is very important to ensure that only the right authorized persons are accessing the data, a very important feature for our customers. Even though I believe bundles for SMB customers and AI improvements could be developed, I still give it maximum points. I give this product a review rating of 10.

My impression of the administrative interface of Dell PowerProtect Cyber Recovery is that it is very user-friendly and pretty intuitive. Regarding the solution's ability to automate data recovery tasks, we have not had to do mass recoveries yet, but we know we can do it with the tool and we do restores out of Networker. Dell PowerProtect Cyber Recovery is absolutely able to protect our company's critical data. We know how it protects our critical data because we are watching it all the time; it is locking snapshots, protecting and isolating our backups, and we know our backups are there if we need to recover. We are using the recent feature addition for enhancing data encryption. As far as I know, the feature has been good because it encrypts the data. My advice for someone or some company that is considering the solution is to understand the manpower involved because it does require a lot of attention; it does not run by itself. Once it is set up, it does run, but it requires quite a bit of admin. I would rate this product an eight out of ten overall.
