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

"The product provides good backup and compression services."
"Dell PowerProtect DD’s most valuable feature is data deduplication."
"We have found the product to be scalable."
"Its pricing is not overly expensive."
"It could back up more things. I don't think it can back up Box and some of the other third-party ones. Not that we use them that much, but the more they can do, the better it would be. There could also be better integrations with RMM tools."
"Their support process can be quite lengthy...This is an area that needs improvement."

"The licensing approach becomes intricate when dealing with SharePoint."

"In some cases, at the time of reinstallation, some disasters happen. For the licensing on the computer the name of the computer and domain, everything is removed from the registry level. Then we have to install the Acronis from the start for it to work properly. Otherwise, the Acronis software will cause a lot of trouble at the time of reinstallation. That's where they need to improve the product. In the case people want to install the same software with the same hardware, it should not stop me."
"It could have a better ability to manage backups over a longer period."
"The only problem is that it's more expensive than any other vendors available in the market."
"The usage of this solution is a bit difficult to develop processes, and it takes a long time to market permits."
"It could be more secure."
"Dell PowerProtect DD should come out with its own system so we do not have to use Data Domain. For example, something similar to what Symantec has done."
"The licensing is not cost-effective, and the pricing could be better."
"The pricing model needs to be improved."
"The initial setup is complex."
"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."
