"Centralized management is valuable to us."
"I have everything I need in the backup or in the partition. "
"Stability is always good. I have used Acronis for 10 years now, if not more. I have never had a problem with availability, etc."
"The most valuable feature is the extra protection, especially for the backup."
"One of its most valuable aspects is its user-friendly interface."
"The web-based interface makes it easy to use."
"The setup is very easy."
"The most valuable feature is the performance because you can back up data really quickly."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the integrated deduplication function."
"The most valuable features of Dell PowerProtect DD are ease of use and deduplication."
"The deduplication feature is the most valuable part of the solution."
"It is stable. I would rate the stability of the solution a nine out of ten."
"It's very easy to use the domain once it's been set up. The interface is also user-friendly."
"This is a superior and reliable backup system that can handle large capacities with little management."
"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."
"The product would be better if they offered more integration capabilities."
"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."
"It would be nice if it could support more types of storage: EMC, HPE, Veeam, etc."
"I wish Acronis had a feature that would allow me to set an expiry date for customers when I send them Acronis, such as when I create a customer workload or gigabyte."
"The biggest problem that we have is when the antivirus is installed, the whole machine runs very slowly and some of the machines hang."
"The dashboards for digital operations can be improved."
"The pricing could be improved."
"This is not a feature-rich solution."
"The downside of PowerProtect's flexibility is that you have so many options. It can be a little confusing. It's like having a car with too many buttons on the dash. You can do so much with it, but it takes some time to learn what everything does."
"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."
"The tool's pricing could be cheaper."
"EMC is very expensive for small customers."
"We are not able to deal directly with the OEM we have to go to their partners in Nigeria."
"We encountered data loss during the configuration process."
"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."
"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."
