Dell PowerProtect Data Manager

We are using Dell PowerProtect Data Manager  to back up all of our on-premises servers and replicate the backup to the cloud. We have also started to back up our cloud data with this solution.

We back up all of the virtual machines in our VMware environment with Dell PowerProtect Data Manager  and we have a bunch of domain controllers at all of our branches. We back up the file share data from the domain controllers at the branches.

Currently, there is no major improvement since using Dell PowerProtect Data Manager. The major improvement is the fact that we are now on a supportable version of software and hardware for our backup solutions. We are rolling over to new hardware.

That is basically all we are using Dell PowerProtect Data Manager for at this point in time.

We have been using Dell PowerProtect Data Manager for three months now.

There are no issues at this point in time with Dell PowerProtect Data Manager. Since we just implemented it, we have not experienced any major issues outside of typical new user problems. So far, the experience has been positive.

I have used Dell PowerProtect in the past and had no issues with it back then. When it came time to renew our backup platform, this was one of the tools that we looked at. We felt it met our needs and was a partner that we wanted to stick with.

I appreciate the response about Dell PowerProtect Data Manager. We have not had enough time in the product yet to be able to evaluate what would be better or worse with this solution. There are some kinks in the system to figure out with this interview, but it is fine enough. I would rate this review as adequate.

I work with Dell PowerProtect Data Manager  and Data Domain, which are backup software solutions.

The features I appreciate about Dell PowerProtect Data Manager  include the snapshot killer, which is a very good feature, and the ability to access the hypervisor directly to take backups from VMs. I find it most beneficial because of the ease and power of the core backup software. Dell created the backup software from scratch, so they incorporated the most powerful features found in other backup software in the field.

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.

I have been working with Dell PowerProtect Data Manager for almost one year.

Dell PowerProtect Data Manager is very stable.

It is scalable.

I have no experience with technical support from Dell because I have not deployed it before.

I have worked with Veeam, Veritas, and Commvault. All of them are great backup software.

I think the license for Dell PowerProtect Data Manager is the same as other backup software.

I work with a company called Global Brands, and one of their companies is called Direct, which is a Platinum Partner to Dell. I do not have any specific examples to share at the moment. I have hands-on experience on a demo website and I purchase through Dell. I give this product a review rating of 8 because it is a very good backup solution.

For virtual environments using VMware, when customers want to purchase a separate recovery solution from Dell, I recommend Dell PowerProtect Data Manager as the backup software.

We are selling backup management solutions like Dell PowerProtect Data Manager  alongside Data Domain. We use Dell PowerProtect Data Manager  for disaster recovery through incremental backups.

The management part of Dell PowerProtect Data Manager has improved significantly. We value its backup appliance solution, which can be integrated seamlessly with existing systems when customers choose Dell. PowerProtect also offers both cloud and on-premise versions, eliminating many deployment issues. Additionally, its stability is commendable, with a rating of eight out of ten.

The marketing strategy is lagging behind competitors such as CommVault. Dell needs to improve its market presence and communication with customers and solution providers.

We have been using Dell PowerProtect Data Manager alongside previous deployments of Networker for many years.

The stability of Dell PowerProtect Data Manager is rated eight out of ten.

Dell technical support is good and rated eight out of ten.

We previously used Networker and moved towards PowerProtect, although we still face installation issues.

The initial setup is not complex at all, with both cloud and on-premise versions available.

Overall, pricing does not significantly impact our decision. The main concern is the solution itself, presales activities, and positioning it in the right place. Commercial aspects are secondary to technical and marketing considerations.

Competitors like CommVault, Veeam, and Data Protector  from OpenText  are evaluated because they have a stronger market push.

Regardless of competition, we recommend Dell PowerProtect Data Manager when working with Dell solutions. However, we feel more comfortable with competitors due to better communication and marketing. Overall, the market acceptance is less favorable for Dell. The overall rating for Dell PowerProtect Data Manager is seven out of ten.

I support a company that leverages Dell PowerProtect Data Manager  technology. Ideally, KCB is the client, and I am the one who does the support. We have been working with PowerProtect  Data Manager for approximately two years, going on three. The main use cases are backups and recovery.

I love that it has an interactive GUI, and it is not complicated to use. I am able to generate good reports when connected with Dell Data Protection Advisor  and Networker. It satisfies my customers' scalability needs and provides interactive features, allowing efficient integration. Being able to deploy the right solution that the system can achieve enhances the effectiveness for my customers.

The main issue that needs improvement is the support system. When I raise a ticket, it sometimes takes a while to get a response. Scheduling for support calls can be problematic when it does not align well with the customer's availability. Expediting the scheduling of calls and feedback would be beneficial to my interaction with clients.

I have been working indirectly with Dell PowerProtect Data Manager for approximately three years.

I would rate stability at seven out of ten due to certain user-based and upgrade issues. I and other users sometimes face connection issues and password problems. Making sure the system is properly understood before deployment and handling upgrades efficiently would improve stability.

Dell PowerProtect Data Manager satisfies my customers' needs in terms of scalability.

Delays in feedback and scheduling can affect interactions, but generally, support provides good solutions once engaged. Faster scheduling and better alignment with customer needs could enhance the customer service experience.

Setting up Dell PowerProtect Data Manager is fair and can be perceived as a mix of easy and challenging. Proper preparation is essential to handle varying deployment challenges successfully.

The price of Dell PowerProtect Data Manager is generally perceived as reasonable. However, specific figures are not available as I am on the technical side and do not handle costs.

A thorough deployment involves understanding the system's capabilities clearly. My customers must be made aware of what resources Dell PowerProtect Data Manager can handle. I recommend proper research and aligning deployment with customer needs to ensure success.

My total rating for PowerProtect Data Manager is eight out of ten.
