Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, NetApp and others in Deduplication Software."It is a stable solution."
"We have never had any issues with Data Domain. It has been stable."
"Dell PowerProtect DD’s most valuable feature is data deduplication."
"The technology has been very useful. There are lots of features on offer."
"It's very competitive in terms of the price and technology. Also, the development team continuously makes updates. The data reduction feature is very useful."
"This is a superior and reliable backup system that can handle large capacities with little management."
"I like the different features. We work closely with Dell on different products and features, which is why we use them all."
"Good starting capacity and scalability."
"This solution is stable."
"The ability to test the backups without having to manually mount the VHDs after restore allows us to check the integrity of the backups."
"Reverse Delta is Altaro proprietary backup deduplication technology. With Reverse Delta, the latest version of a file is always made available in its entirety, not as a delta file."
"The most valuable feature of Altaro VM Backup is its ability to backup and restore various types of data, including Active Directory, application servers, and SQL Server databases."
"The initial setup was simple and easy. Anyone without prior experience can install, configure, and use it."
"The interface is user-friendly and even if our tech isn't onsite, we can work with the owners to confirm that the data will be restored with no issues."
"We use the latest feature in Altaro called CDP (Continuous Data Protection) to back up our VMs as often as every five minutes. It allows us to make sure no data is accidentally deleted or overwritten."
"The intuitive interface allows you to set up and perform backups and restores easily."
"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."
"Its management can be improved."
"The tool's pricing could be cheaper."
"The price of the product is high."
"We would like to see the price of this solution brought down to be comparable with similar products currently on the market."
"The pricing could be better, but it's still not too expensive."
"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."
"The only problem is that it's more expensive than any other vendors available in the market."
"If you look into the performance of a virtual machine and you look to the performance of the physical machine, the correlation between these is totally unclear."
"Basically, how it works is that you have a single local drive, and then you have a cloud backup. It'd be nice if you could rotate the single local backup drive. As of now, you can't."
"The application could include a feature to install a set size of data, such as the ability to store a single application with all its registry information for easy transfer."
"Stability."
"It would be nice to be able to recover the items to their original location."
"Improvement areas for Altaro VM Backup include enhancing backup and deduplication solutions for continuous operation and offering an all-in-one solution for hardware backup."
"It would be nice to see a feature that backs up the host so that, in case of a server failure, an entire server could be restored all at once."
"Replication is not fast, the GUI could be more user-friendly, and technical support is lacking in Iran."
