    It is best suited if you are looking for a centralized analytics for storage and streamlining your staffs task time. It helps visualize the aspects of storage usage which inturn helps in understanding stretches and reduce overall usage statistics. The price point seems little overwhelming to startups. It is complex in operating and needs tech help.

    If you are using NV for backups and restores, it does the job very well. You can rely on the functions and time it as you prefer it to be executed. They have a great plug-in library which provides integrations of many applications and many databases. The updated versions support better job creations and restorations. You can easily depend on your backups without a hassle. However if you go ahead with its advanced features, you many need further support. Would not recommend using the Cleaning Tape module.There are issues in the reports provided. Also you may face with disk latency issues.

    The Dell EMC Storage Resource Manager, compared to the Microsoft System Center, is more fast time-to-value with out-of-the-box monitoring, provisioning, configuration, automation, protection, and self-service. The Dell EMC Storage Resource Manager is also excellent at managing OBBs.

    Pricing was on point with our requirement. A great deal compared to the other products we evaluated. We had recommendations from existing users in the region. Since our requirement was basic backups and restores and NV provided that, we were compelled to go with it as the implementation was very very easy.
