Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, NetApp and others in Deduplication Software."Dell PowerProtect DD’s most valuable feature is data deduplication."
"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."
"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."
"9900 has around 1.5 petabits of capacity in a single rack, and that's huge."
"The initial setup was straightforward. Deployment takes about two weeks."
"The feature that I have found most useful is its data duplication."
"The solution is very scalable."
"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."
"The product has many valuable features for handling backup needs, including replication, live migration, and incremental disaster recovery."
"The ease of use of the solution is its most valuable feature. The interface is also excellent."
"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 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."
"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."
"Ability to restore to any host."
"DD Boost."
"The size and scale of the product are limited and could be improved."
"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."
"The tool's pricing could be cheaper."
"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 product lacks some security features that would make it more stand-alone and integrated."
"First-time integrations are difficult in NetWorker. NetWorker software needs to be simplified. It's very complex."
"The only problem is that it's more expensive than any other vendors available in the market."
"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."
"The cloud backup and VMware support (now available in the latest releases), could do with some improvement."
"To improve Altaro, I would like to see the ability to choose more than one backup location at a time."
"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."
"The scalability of the solution is limited."
"Stability."
"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."
"Backup speed and comparisons between versions used to be slow on big VMs but that was improved greatly later on."
