"I like Data Domain as a protocol for data backup."
"A lot of their new technologies are not very good."
"The solution can improve by allowing older versions to support the latest version of the OS."
"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."
"In the most recent version of premium plus the replication has been removed, and it should re-added to the solution."
"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."
"I don't know whether the tool has VMware integrations. It would be good to cover this area if it doesn't have those."
"I had an issue with Arcserve UDP during the failover and the secondary machine didn't get back online, even though it ran automatically. I faced the issue during a crisis situation. However, I haven't faced such a problem again."
"DD Boost."
"They still have hardware different from the software."
"The price could be a little cheaper than it is now."
"The licensing is not cost-effective, and the pricing could be better."
"The only problem is that it's more expensive than any other vendors available in the market."
"The initial setup is complex."
"The pricing should be adjusted. Customers continuously talk about the price. They know it is a good solution and they really need the type of storage the solution offers, but it costs somewhere around $100,000 and up. It's not cheap, but it's very important for data vendors."
"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."
