Liked that it is supported major OS versions like Windows, Distros of Linux and Mac OS too; easy to deploy and also has good User Interface compared to its peers Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Dell Data Protection?

Even though it is cost-effective but lacks customer support, I faced several issues after deploying it; the Dell support team took too much time and still did not figure out what was the root cause of the problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Dell Data Protection solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our team tried data protection suits from other vendors, but they were not on par with Dell Data Protection in terms of functionality and deployment; I find it faster than other peers when backing up my data from my server to Dell Cloud. easy to restore and Operational

I found that the IU of Dell Data Protection gives you fewer options to interact with software entirely. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Dell Data Protection?

Networker will shine when you have huge databases. (Oracle, SQL, Exchange...). When combined with DataDomain, you will be able to run database backups every few minutes for your mission critical databases.

The ease of granular restores is another great point. Restoring a record to the Active Directory, or a table to SQL Database or an email from a mailbox. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Dell Data Protection?

one of the biggest headaches of Networker, is its sensitivity for changes in the environment. If you add a node to a cluster, or change an irrelevant configuration to a database server could cause you backups to fail.

the administrator needs to check the jobs on a daily basis. for some backups, several time everyday. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Dell Data Protection:

you can combine Avamar and Networker in the same environment and use DPC to manage both. Always use Avamar for your VMware and DTLT Backups and Networker for all other backups. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Dell Data Protection solving and how is that benefiting you?

faster and better backups for oracle and file servers especially if paired with DataDomain, and the data is hosted on a DellEMC storage with snapshot capability Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
