"It would be nice to have it on the cloud platform without using third-party equipment."
"It supports Microsoft SQL and Microsoft Exchange, but it does not support Oracle databases or Postgres."
"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."
"It could have a better ability to manage backups over a longer period."
"If we could have a mass deployment option using Acronis, that would be helpful."
"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."
"We have had deduplication and replication issues. When we used another backup software we noticed that it didn't have the same issues."
"The tool's DD Boost is expensive."
