What differentiates Dell Data Protection Suite from other similar products?

we have migrated our Database backups to DDBOOST recently, it works great and DBA guys like it, because DDBOOST software naively integrates with their native backup tools(SQL management studio and RMAN). Same time backups can be automated by scripts and DBA guys still own the backup and restore functions.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

We have been running DDBOOST for last 4 years. it works great and DBA guys like it, because DDBOOST software naively integrates with their native backup tools(SQL management studio and RMAN). Same time backups can be automated by scripts and DBA guys still own the backup and restore functions. We automated install/upgrade of agents and automated configuration of backups using scripts. we recently started using Appsync and PPDM , I am looking forward to see PPDM will be able to take snapshots(SQL,oracle,VMware and other applications) in VMAX/PowerMax and able to present a consolidated view of Primary/secondary storage snapshots and DDBOOST bac

What do you dislike most about this product?

Below are few things, DELLEMC can improve 1. Integrate AppSync functionality in to PPDM 2. ability to report on historical backup reports like how fast backups are done,throughput, dedup/compression savings and etc 3. Graphical dashboard view of primary/secondary storage snapshots and DDboost backups(with Data Domain information)4. able to clone existing database for test/dev 5.self service restore for end customers for table level restores.6. DDBOOST agent automatic upgrade or push from PPDM

What differentiates Dell Data Protection Suite from other similar products?

The difference between this software and others on the market is that it has provided us with the solution we need to protect our documents, since being based on the cloud provides us with the necessary protection against any problem or error, thanks to its wonderful implementation of data protection we have managed to recover or delete any file in a satisfactory way.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

This wonderful and complete software has given us everything we need to protect all our files and documents, since it allows us in a very simple but complete way to store, capture, manage and eliminate unwanted files, in addition to that we can recover those same emails if we need any information stored in them.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The only considerable disadvantage of this software is that if your data is stored outside of the corporate network, access to its services will suffer if the Internet is unstable or the connection fails.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Thanks to the use of this interesting and complete software, our companies will have more complete results. You can implement it as a wonderful enabler for your business, the performance is very accurate and you will get what you are looking for, since this platform is the best on the market.

Feature Ratings Average rating of all product features, some of which may not be shown below

Replication for Long Term Storage and Disaster Recovery Onsite backup data is replicated and stored to a public cloud (AWS, Azure). Can also include restore-to-cloud capabilities for Disaster Recovery as a Service.

Application Awareness Application consistent backup and granular restore for application data from core applications such as MS SQL, Oracle, MS Exchange, MS SharePoint.

Deduplication Implementation Deduplication of redundant data blocks is implemented by the solution. Deduplication can be at source, target, or globally (source and target).

Virtual Machine Backup Automatically discovers and protects VMs as they come online, move, and change. Production VMs are replicated to a secondary data store.

Backup Automation Solution automates backup, recovery and remediation tasks using RestAPI and CLI to integrate with 3rd party solutions, reduce cost and enforce standards.

Replication for High Availability Beyond secondary copy backup, the solution also manages replication of primary data host-to-host and site-to-site for live failover and high availability.

Backup of Cloud Based Data In addition to targeting backups to the cloud, the solution also has the capability to back up primary data and services already in the cloud.

File Explorer Granular Restore Individual files can be located and restored from backup media without the need for full system mounting and restore.

Physical Backup for Multiple Platforms Backs up data and system info for non-virtualized systems. Primarily Windows and Linux servers but also, potentially, AIX, Unix and others.

Backup Monitoring and Reporting Backup and replication are continually monitored for status and effectiveness. Detailed reporting is available on successful and unsuccessful operations.

Analytics Built-in real-time and historical reporting and analytics on SLAs, performance, and resource consumption, as well as predictive capabilities to plan & optimize.
