Find out in this report how the two Deduplication Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The cloud side of it is nice. Everything happens behind the scenes without you realizing it, which is nice. It doesn't interrupt usage. There is also the freedom and ease of use of the cloud portal, which you can use to manage your backup. One of the strong points of Barracuda is that you can go from zero to having your first backup running within 10 minutes. If you have access to admin accounts and everything else, it can happen in 10 minutes. The ability to go in and just restore a particular file without having to do a full restore is also very useful. You can just go in and pick the files that you need to restore, and the same is with email. You can just go in, find an email, and restore that email without having to do a full backup of all the data or a full restore of the data. I feel very safe because it is not just about the backup; it is about the protection of the data from outside threats. They have a lot of areas of ATP, that is, advanced threat protection. You don't see that much on the backup side. You see it more on the email side. In the email protection, you know it is there at the back. It moves the quarantine emails that come through into a sandbox area, and then you can choose in the sandbox. You can open up an email in the sandbox to make sure that if there is a virus, it can't harm you. You can also plan how often your backups run, such as every six hours or four hours. It is the same with email. They also have a great PhishLine package, which is phishing attack training. You can have the strongest and the best backup and security that you can, but the end user is always the weakest link. They send almost like testing emails to end users to help them identify and understand phishing emails and prevent user or phishing attacks. It is a very good package."
"The most valuable feature is unlimited data storage on the cloud. Even if the employee has left the company for a few years, the backup will still be maintained."
"The most valuable features are the deduplication that analyzes data to identify duplicate patterns and granular restore."
"The main feature we like about Barracuda is that we can map devices directly to the cloud. It operates as a security device to run a backup of the cloud in case one of our physical machines goes down."
"Barracuda's support is probably one of the best things about them, even with all their solutions. With any problem that we have, or even questions, we get the assistance that we need. The turnaround is pretty quick."
"The performance is good and the interface is user-friendly."
"The scalability of the product is fine."
"The backup feature is most valuable. That's why we took it."
"The most valuable features of Dell PowerProtect DD are ease of use and deduplication."

"Compared to Avamar and Data Domain (our other systems), the backup speed is slow."
"Their technical support is not very good. You never know what they are doing and what is the issue. Customers need to know what is happening. This is our main concern and the only thing that can be improved in this solution. I would like to have more visibility about what is going on when something happens. I need to know what was done to solve the issue."
"The solution depends on your connectivity, so it is essential to have a proper connection to the cloud."
"In the next release of this solution, I would like to see cloud support and deduplication functionality."
"When we manage the box physically, we don't have as much control as we do when we manage from the cloud. The best management is from the cloud."

"The web interface needs to contain a more up-to-date view of the hardware."
"Some features like CIFS are not supported that would help speed and flexibility."

"They still have hardware different from the software."
"DD Boost."
"We encountered data loss during the configuration process."
"I would like to see some kind of integration with the ransomware in the next release."
"The solution's cost, scalability, and licensing model could be improved."
