Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, NetApp and others in Deduplication Software."The features that I have found most valuable with Dell EMC PowerProtect DD are its deduplication feature and its DD Boost protocol for fast transfer, which is amazing."
"The hardware can operate in high temperatures, in case of any disaster."
"The solution is very stable."
"The product, a disk backup solution, improves our data application tasks. We used tape libraries with Dev drives in legacy architectures, resulting in slow backups compared to modern drives like NVMe and SSDs. By transitioning to NVMe and SSDs, backups have become much faster. The tool's backup restoration is faster compared to other tools."
"Good starting capacity and scalability."
"It is secure, reliable, and has officer support."
"I like Data Domain as a protocol for data backup."
"We have found the product to be scalable."
"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 ability to test the backups without having to manually mount the VHDs after restore allows us to check the integrity of the backups."

"The CDP backup feature is very nice, as it allows you to take backups at high frequencies and with application consistency."
"We frequently use the granular restore option for when our users accidentally delete files or to recover emails from mailboxes. We have found that to be a must-have feature and it comes with the solution at no extra cost."
"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 initial setup is complex."
"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."
"The price could be a little cheaper than it is now."
"I would like to see better integration and support for backing up to cloud providers such as Alibaba Cloud."
"The software from Dell that can be used to operate Data Domain needs to have enhancements made to the user interface. It is too complex."
"The pricing could be lower."
"It can probably have integration with other OEMs. It should also have more features for ransomware protection."

"Stability."
