Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Commvault, Zerto and others in Cloud Backup."The licensing model is very good."
"It makes a full image of the hard drive. If a hard drive fails, all we do is recover to another hard drive."
"The user interface (UI) is easy to use."
"The backup timing and restoring process is great compared to other options."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to back up and recover our production environment from ransomware."
"The tool’s licensing and pricing are economical for SMB customers."
"I can encrypt the data, I can make it send me an email if it fails. It lets me choose which files I want to ignore during backup."
"I've reimaged servers and been back up and running in exactly no time with the completely new hardware."
"We are very satisfied with this solution. It's easy to use and efficient."
"The technology has been very useful. There are lots of features on offer."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the integrated deduplication function."
"The features that I have found most valuable with Dell EMC PowerProtect DD are its deduplication feature and its DD Boost protocol for fast transfer, which is amazing."
"As our organization functions, we have a total of 2500+ primary sites and 6300+ secondary sites. All of our entire backup systems are totally dependent on this product. EMC Data Domain is very reliable and there are no issues using it since 2015."
"9900 has around 1.5 petabits of capacity in a single rack, and that's huge."
"This solution has a feature called Domain Boost, which allows for source deduplication and compression."
"The most valuable feature is the inline data deduplication."
"I would change the GUI a little to make it a bit more interactive. It should have a slightly more updated look, not something which looks like it was designed five years ago despite the fact it is easy to follow and very appealing."
"It would be better if they made it easier to obtain images for laptops and desktops. It isn't easy right now to have many different types of desktop computers. This is because Microsoft is changing a lot of things in Windows 10."
"Their support process can be quite lengthy...This is an area that needs improvement."
"It does not delete locked files."
"The solution's reporting feature could be better."
"It supports Microsoft SQL and Microsoft Exchange, but it does not support Oracle databases or Postgres."
"In the span of six months, maintenance is done at least twice and you are told that it is coming up, with apologies for the inconvenience. It's a distraction, and it interferes with the backup schedule."
"The reporting can be improved."
"The price could be a little cheaper than it is now."
"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."
"We have some problems with backing up on the Power Platform. PowerServer is an IBM product, and it forces us to back up over LAN, which is not suitable for us."
"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."
"They still have hardware different from the software."
"First-time integrations are difficult in NetWorker. NetWorker software needs to be simplified. It's very complex."
"The pricing could be better, but it's still not too expensive."
"Dell PowerProtect DD could improve by having better integration with other backup solutions."
