"Data Domain is an excellent repository that's compatible with a lot of different solutions. Even Veeam Backup recommends sending backup to Data Domain. Space optimization is great. Currently, it guarantees 50-to-1 compression of the application in the same device. In all these years, I never had a client who was unsatisfied with Data Domain. It is a solid appliance with VMware integration, instant access to restore and search, and analytics."
"Our clients like the wide range of features that are available within this single solution."
"The feature that I have found most useful is its data duplication."
"The solution is very stable."
"Deduplication and compression are the best features of the solution, which are popular and very effective."
"Good starting capacity and scalability."
"The initial setup was straightforward. Deployment takes about two weeks."
"Ability to restore to any host."
"The intuitive interface allows you to set up and perform backups and restores easily."
"It is an excellent product. It is easy to deploy, stable, and fast. Their support is excellent."

"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."

"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 CDP backup feature is very nice, as it allows you to take backups at high frequencies and with application consistency."
"It could be more secure."
"DD Boost."
"They still have hardware different from the software."
"We are not able to deal directly with the OEM we have to go to their partners in Nigeria."
"I would like to see integration with public cloud."
"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."
"DD doesn't have Intel's air gap technology."
"Looking at Dell PowerProtect DD (Data Domain), there is a need for improvement, especially in terms of protection from cyber resiliency, cyber recovery, or man-in-the-middle attacks."
"Stability."

"Availability of physical server backup would be an added advantage."
"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."
"The initial set up was complex, and I was not able to do the set up myself."
"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."
"Migrating the physical through a backup and restore to a virtual environment would be very helpful."
