Its simplicity and bit rate are also valuable. It takes less time if we compare it with the old solution that we have."
"Stable and scalable suite of solutions with deduplication, apart from data protection, storage, and backup."
"The most valuable feature is the inline data deduplication."
"The backup is very secure. The deduplication using EMC is very good. We are able to make systems and handle random cloning. EMC is a very stable solution for making backups."
"The solution is very stable."
"9900 has around 1.5 petabits of capacity in a single rack, and that's huge."
"Our clients like the wide range of features that are available within this single solution."
"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."
"VM backup and the item level recovery are the most valuable features."
"The initial setup was simple and easy. Anyone without prior experience can install, configure, and use it."
"Excellent compression and deduplication with off-site WAN backup included."
"This solution is stable."
"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."

"Valuable features for us include quick recovery, compression, and deduplication."
"The ease of use of the solution is its most valuable feature. The interface is also excellent."
"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."
"The usage of this solution is a bit difficult to develop processes, and it takes a long time to market permits."
"We are not able to deal directly with the OEM we have to go to their partners in Nigeria."
"The pricing could be lower."
"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 initial setup is complex."
"Its management can be improved."
"It could be more secure."
"The scalability of the solution is limited."
"Migrating the physical through a backup and restore to a virtual environment would be very helpful."
"To improve Altaro, I would like to see the ability to choose more than one backup location at a time."
"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."
"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."
"Stability."
"Availability of physical server backup would be an added advantage."
