This solution supports synchronization with various cloud vendors, including Azure and AWS."

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."
"DD doesn't have Intel's air gap technology."
"We would like to see the price of this solution brought down to be comparable with similar products currently on the market."
"They're scalable."
"The tool's DD Boost is expensive."
