User Testimonials
	Dell PowerVault Disk Backup and Discovery (DL, TL & ML Series)	NovaBACKUP
Likelihood to Recommend	Dell Technologies For small to medium sided environments, it's great, or for low demand but being able to hit higher IOPS on demand. It's still entry-level compared to EqualLogic hardware but a great contender in the field. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	NovaBACKUP Provide data protection for small to media size clients. Sends comprehensive email reports upon job completion. Physical to Virtual Migrations. Backing up physical and virtual machines. Alerting on backup job success or failure. Support is could be a little better, but it is adequate. The application is frequently updated and supports the latest operating systems from Microsoft and VMware.

Pros	Dell Technologies Tape Solution Small Business Solution Good for direct attached storage purposes like video security. Incentivized Joe Wilker Network and Systems Administrator II - Team Lead Read full review	NovaBACKUP Backup data to removable media Restore data Report on data protection. Physical to Virtual Machine Migrations Incentivized Josh Justic President, Engineering Architect for Virtualization and Computing Systems. Read full review
Cons	Dell Technologies Maintenance is tough. Dell recommends bringing the unit down for any kind of maintenance of upgrades. Internal IOPS monitoring could be greatly improved. Arrays are locked down to Dell licensed disks. Incentivized Ezra Owen Director of Infrastructure Read full review	NovaBACKUP None, it provides all the functionality we require. Improve licensing costs. Incentivized Josh Justic President, Engineering Architect for Virtualization and Computing Systems. Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Dell Technologies couple vendors but nothing to write home about.... Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	NovaBACKUP Not as polished as Veeam, but a lot cheaper when backing up data from over 10 servers. Otherwise, if you are backing up just one server, and don't need much in the way of support, the Veeam Community edition is a very cost-effective backup solution. When comparing the support and cost of Novabackup for a small to mid-size business, it is a very reliable solution.

Return on Investment	Dell Technologies If you need a lot of disks attached to a system, PowerVault is the way to go. The cost of the unit is reasonable, and you can extend the life of the unit pretty far. Incentivized Joe Wilker Network and Systems Administrator II - Team Lead Read full review	NovaBACKUP Provides confidence that we can recover from data loss or corruption. Enabled easy P2V for our servers. Incentivized Josh Justic President, Engineering Architect for Virtualization and Computing Systems. Read full review
