Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, NetApp and others in Deduplication Software."I find the data to be most valuable."
"The feature that I have found most useful is its data duplication."
"The most valuable features of Dell PowerProtect DD are ease of use and deduplication."
"The compression aspect of the solution is great."
"The initial setup was straightforward. Deployment takes about two weeks."
"We have never had any issues with Data Domain. It has been stable."
"We have found the product to be scalable."
"The most important feature is the level of data compression provided by Dell EMC. It's a leader in data compression and deduplication, and the level of compression isn't available with any other vendors in the market."
"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."
"Valuable features for us include quick recovery, compression, and deduplication."
"This solution is stable."
"It is an excellent product. It is easy to deploy, stable, and fast. Their support is excellent."
"The product has many valuable features for handling backup needs, including replication, live migration, and incremental disaster recovery."
"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."
"All of the features are fantastic and also the management from Microsoft dealing with multiple machines is great. The whole package is excellent for me."
"The intuitive interface allows you to set up and perform backups and restores easily."
"Its management can be improved."
"The pricing could be lower."
"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."
"The licensing model was the biggest concern for our company, but the poor support after the initial implementation is of equal concern."
"We have had deduplication and replication issues. When we used another backup software we noticed that it didn't have the same issues."
"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."
"Technical support needs improvement."
"Installation and deployment for this product need improvement. These processes need to made easier. Currently, it's not an easy installation for customers. This product needs to be installed by professionals."
"Migrating the physical through a backup and restore to a virtual environment would be very helpful."
"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."
"Stability."
"The scalability of the solution is limited."
"The cloud backup and VMware support (now available in the latest releases), could do with some improvement."
"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."
"Replication is not fast, the GUI could be more user-friendly, and technical support is lacking in Iran."
