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."I like the different features. We work closely with Dell on different products and features, which is why we use them all."
"The compression aspect of the solution is great."
"It is stable. I would rate the stability of the solution a nine out of ten."
"The most valuable feature is the performance because you can back up data really quickly."
"Data Domain is an excellent repository that's compatible with a lot of different solutions. Even Veeam Backup recommends sending backup to Data Domain. Space optimization is great. Currently, it guarantees 50-to-1 compression of the application in the same device. In all these years, I never had a client who was unsatisfied with Data Domain. It is a solid appliance with VMware integration, instant access to restore and search, and analytics."
"The deduplication feature is the most valuable part of the solution."
"It's very easy to use the domain once it's been set up. The interface is also user-friendly."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the integrated deduplication function."
"We can add multiple appliances to the product."
"Veritas NetBackup Appliance is a total backup solution. We don't have to buy other applications to do it."
"The solution is useful for backups."
"It is very capable of scaling and very good for heterogeneous environments."
"I have no stability issues to report...The initial setup is quite simple."
"The product enables me to recover the information of the appliances in the organization."
"The most valuable features of Veritas NetBackup Appliance are the ease of use and the familiar interface."
"Veritas NetBackup Appliance's most valuable feature is information backup."
"When you use Data Domain, you have to have at least 20% free space so it can work properly. Sometimes we struggle with that, because we wanted to use all the free space, but then Data Domain becomes really slow. I understand that 20% is needed to process all the data, and doing the duplication and compression and all that, but it would be a big improvement if they did not require that 20%, because it is just too much to have available."
"The tool's pricing could be cheaper."
"We have had deduplication and replication issues. When we used another backup software we noticed that it didn't have the same issues."
"We would like faster instant recovery."
"I would like to see some kind of integration with the ransomware in the next release."
"It can probably have integration with other OEMs. It should also have more features for ransomware protection."
"The pricing model needs to be improved."
"Data Domain lacks compatibility with fiber channels and tapes. We can't use it with a tape library. That's an issue in Latin America sometimes because a lot of clients still use tapes for budget reasons. Maybe they have a lot of archives. In North America and Europe, they do a lot of archiving, but they use the cloud more than we do. Sometimes we have to put together a Frankenstein where we connect another server to the tape library and send all the data there."
"Veritas NetBackup Appliance could improve by having a site recovery feature."
"The response from the support team has not always been quick, so sometimes there is a risk."
"Veritas NetBackup would benefit from better explained error codes."
"The desirability of appliance solutions is dwindling in the marketplace."
"Depending on the setup structure, it can be complex to implement."
"They could improve the interface a bit."
"The configuration can sometimes be tricky during implementation."
"Veritas NetBackup Appliance could improve the configuration, it could be more user-friendly."
