"It's easy to backup data, manage. A"
"The deduplication feature in this product is amazing."

"I think StoreOnce's deduplication technology is crucial for cost efficiency and faster recovery, especially for backup and data protection purposes."
"Management is difficult and it is hard to determine when things aren't working properly."
"A lot of improvement is required in Dell's first level of support."
"PPDM requires further development. It is primarily integrated with DevOps systems."
"There is always room for improvement. The compression ratio should be improved as well as the efficiency."
"The Dell EMC PowerProtect Data Manager reports could improve. There should be different kinds of reports on failures, such as dashboards that we can submit to top management or auditors."
"You need to use additional software to back up entire environments. It will be good if they could support entire tape libraries."
"They should include a feature similar to S3 bucket."
"As a new product, there are some things that still need to improve a bit as it matures."
"The platform's price could be lower."

"When it comes to upgrading, it always goes block-wise. One block is 48 TB raw capacity. It would be good if they can include a smaller capacity for SMB customers. Currently, it is not possible to increase in a smaller capacity. You have to buy the exact same unit. It would be great if they can provide a smaller next block. There are around 20 hard disks, and it would be really helpful if we can add 10 hard disks initially and 10 hard disks later."
"The GUI and its user-friendliness have some room for improvement."
"The setup phase is not so simple that an end user can plug and play to make it operational."
