Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."The ROI is very good because of the speed of the backup."
"The standard backup and restore feature is most used."
"This product is extremely user-friendly and it is capable of performing large-scale archive/backup (five+ years worth). It is easy to store, maintain, and check backups."
"The ease of use is the best feature of the product."
"It's simple to set up."
"The product provides instant and virtual standbys."
"I would recommend it if there is a general case."
"The interface is very refined, works fine, and is very intuitive most of the time. Scalability is nice. The multi-tenancy feature is very welcome. The integration with Linux works fine too."
"9900 has around 1.5 petabits of capacity in a single rack, and that's huge."
"As our organization functions, we have a total of 2500+ primary sites and 6300+ secondary sites. All of our entire backup systems are totally dependent on this product. EMC Data Domain is very reliable and there are no issues using it since 2015."
"The product provides good backup and compression services."
"The most valuable features of Dell EMC PowerProtect DD are the duplication security and uptime."
"The solution is very scalable."
"The backup is very secure. The deduplication using EMC is very good. We are able to make systems and handle random cloning. EMC is a very stable solution for making backups."
"This solution has a feature called Domain Boost, which allows for source deduplication and compression."
"We have never had any issues with Data Domain. It has been stable."
"The only problem with the solution is that when I change the drive capacity, it has to do a full backup. It's a problem when I have five servers to backup. When I only want to change the size of the drive, I have to do a full backup that can take one week."
"They could work on their marketing approach. I don't see many people leveraging it."
"The solution can use a lot of bandwidth when the scheduling is not done, it should auto-schedule itself. For example, if there are 50 users connected in the network at 12 o'clock and the backup is not scheduled. At this time the network offices are going to have performance issues when it is doing a backup. Having a feature to auto-schedule a time when the network is not being used often would be beneficial."
"Its interface can be improved. I find it unintuitive."
"We cannot restore each user's mailbox. Each user's mailbox should be independently restorable. Also, this solution is very slow. If you select all of the servers, it runs for a long time... It needs to be faster. Finally, If anything happens to one server we should be able to switch to another server."
"It takes much time to verify and consolidate images for backups."
"A lot of their new technologies are not very good."
"The problem is just reliability. If the promises in the marketing material were realized in real life, it would be the perfect solution, but it's just the reliability issues."
"We are not able to deal directly with the OEM we have to go to their partners in Nigeria."
"I would like to see integration with public cloud."
"Dell EMC Data Domain needs to have better compatibility between NetWorker and the hardware. NetWorker is not as good as the other products which are currently on the market like Backup Exec."
"The tool's pricing could be cheaper."
"The pricing could be better, but it's still not too expensive."
"The price could be improved."
"It helps if you have in-depth knowledge in order to use it correctly."
"The Dell PowerProtect DD architecture offers several significant features. One is DD Boost, which is utilized at both the source and destination sites for application processing."
