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 most valuable features are the performance and the duplication."
"I like the tool set, it's easy to work on and the support is brilliant."
"Data Domain Boost has a unique protocol. I don't think with other vendors you get the same efficiency. I work with some the other products, but this solution has amazing efficiency in comparison."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is deduplication."
"This product's unique protocol make it superior to competing products and alternate solutions."
"The solution is quite scalable. An organization shouldn't have any problem expanding if they use this solution."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"Overall, scalability is great."
"We find the pricing is reasonable."
"Compared to a homemade installation, this appliance is very stable."
"Veritas NetBackup Appliance is a total backup solution. We don't have to buy other applications to do it."
"It is easy to use and the performance is good."
"The NetBackup appliance features customized software that is designed for storage."
"The initial setup gets easier the more you do it."
"The solution uses minimal resources."
"The most valuable feature is that the backup and restoring process is very fast."
"When my company faced a problem with the product, it took some time to get proper support."
"This solution should cover more platforms, and there should be more product coverage."
"DD Boost could improve the solution by offering additional customizations that build upon existing features such as deduplication ratios. The primary objective of the solution is to create backups of existing data and push that data out to clients' backup systems. If they can make the process faster and introduce more enhancements, it would greatly benefit the backup environment."
"The main issue I've identified is that when backing up a final backup from the branch server, we don't have deduplication functionality."
"DD Boost is a bit expensive."
"The solution needs to be more user-friendly for the end-users."
"I'd like the be able to deploy the solution on SAN backups."
"My customer was interested in ransomware protection. Currently, Dell offers the Cyber Vault solution, which is separate from Data Domain. Ideally, ransomware protection would be integrated directly within DD Boost, without requiring an additional out-of-the-box solution. This feature is currently available with HPE's Zerto and Huawei's Ocean Protect with third-party products like PradoNet. While Cyber Vault exists as a separate solution from Data Domain, having some standard protection for immutable backups into DD Boost would be a valuable addition and make it more competitive with other vendors."
"With technical support, it feels like they aren't well trained and it takes forever to get answers out of them."
"In terms of implementing the solution, it's quite technical. You need to be knowledgable in order to pull off a successful deployment."
"Veritas NetBackup Appliance needs to improve its security. It needs to ensure that it is 100 percent protected against cyberattacks."
"The tool's pricing is expensive and could be lower."
"The NetBackup software is based on Red Hat Linux, but we should have multiple software options for that. We should have more OS options. Also, there are too many tools and intermediaries. Everything should be built into an all-in-one solution."
"Technical support for this solution needs to be improved."
"The price needs to be improved because it is really expensive."
"It could be better integrated with other platforms."
