Dell PowerProtect Cyber Recovery Solution for AWS

My main use case for Dell PowerProtect Cyber Recovery  is total resiliency against cyber attacks.

The feature I like the most about Dell PowerProtect Cyber Recovery  is that we get top-of-the-line cyber attack scanning, and we get total retention locking on our media.

The benefits of those features for our company are that we know we can recover from a cyber attack at any time.

As for how the solution can be improved, I would like the features to be more integrated, and I have discussed that with our account team. I would like more visibility into what is going on with the individual backup images and how they are being scanned, so there are some automation and visibility features that could be enhanced.

I have been using Dell PowerProtect Cyber Recovery for just a few years.

The stability and reliability of Dell PowerProtect Cyber Recovery are very good, as we have not had any outages on it, just a couple of minor issues but nothing major.

Our solution is scalable, and we just scaled it recently by adding memory.

Technical support has been pretty good; however, I would like to see better integration with Dell support and the third-party integration for the scanning part of it, specifically Index Engines, but we are getting there.

I would rate the support a six out of ten.

I was not using another solution that does the same before choosing Dell PowerProtect Cyber Recovery.

The deployment process was straightforward because we partnered with Dell on the deployment, allowing us to get that done with Dell's assistance.

Integrating Dell PowerProtect Cyber Recovery into our existing IT infrastructure is not that difficult because we were using Dell backups in our infrastructure.

The biggest return on investment for me when using Dell PowerProtect Cyber Recovery is that if we had an attack, we would be able to recover in hours instead of weeks or months, which is a lot of risk reduction.

The pricing for Dell PowerProtect Cyber Recovery is acceptable due to our enterprise licensing agreement, so a lot of what we do is built into the license, although some of the licensing of the hardware could be better because as we go into the bigger hardware, the price per terabyte is a little more, but it is something we are working with our account team to address.

While I was using Dell PowerProtect Cyber Recovery, the team was looking at other solutions, but this was definitely the most resilient.

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.
