I'm using Dell PowerProtect Data Manager to manage cloud-native applications, such as those running on OpenShift or other container orchestration platforms. PPDM ensures data stability within container nodes and ports, including persistent volumes. It offers features similar to Valero, facilitating backups for Kubernetes environments. Additionally, PPDM supports virtualization platforms.

One notable feature is its robust backup support for Kubernetes and container environments. Additionally, PPDM stands out for its ease of deployment and management compared to other backup solutions. It is highly user-friendly, allowing users to quickly learn and implement backup and restore processes within a week. PPDM represents the next generation of backup software and is comparable to offerings from other vendors. Furthermore, PPDM prioritizes security with various access controls, such as user and database access controls. Its deployment tool is also known for its simplicity.

PPDM requires further development. It is primarily integrated with DevOps systems. However, given the rapid growth and introduction of various technologies in the marketplace, PPDM needs to expand its compatibility and integration with a broader range of technologies. While it can handle backups with technologies like Elasticsearch, there may be a need for better integration with standard DevOps tools for smoother backup processes.

I've been using Dell PowerProtect Data Manager for a few years.

The solution's stability is good. I rate the stability a ten out of ten.

There is no restriction to scale it. It's very easy because GPDM only supports it for virtualization platforms.

The initial setup is straightforward. You can install PPDM in one day. The deployment process depends on your cloud provider. You'll start by accessing their site. You'll need a bundled setup file to initiate deployment. You can deploy this on vCenter, where it will access your files from either your local computer or your data store. This process usually takes around one to four hours to implement and configure the platform. Once deployed, you only need to define your network and some hosted datastore configurations.

PPDM is very helpful in providing numerous high-quality services for the entire platform. It's crucial to use PPDM for all components and hypervisor systems.

The pricing is very competitive. Additionally, it's pretty feasible to acquire the DTS platform.

The licensing for Dell PowerProtect Data Manager depends on your specific environment. You can obtain pricing based on your front desk capacity or the socket license. For instance, if you have multiple products requiring backup or are running five hosts on the hypervisor platform, two licensing options are available. Each option aims to be more cost-efficient for the customer, and the decision is made in collaboration with Dell.

I rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten, where ten is the highest and one is the lowest.
