Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, NetApp and others in Deduplication Software."The solution's most valuable feature is the integrated deduplication function."
"It works within backup windows and has got good deduplication."
"It is very fast as compared to the other competitors. Its simplicity and bit rate are also valuable. It takes less time if we compare it with the old solution that we have."
"The initial setup was straightforward. Deployment takes about two weeks."
"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."
"We are very satisfied with this solution. It's easy to use and efficient."
"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 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."
"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."
"This solution is stable."
"The product has many valuable features for handling backup needs, including replication, live migration, and incremental disaster recovery."
"The initial setup was simple and easy. Anyone without prior experience can install, configure, and use it."
"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."
"The ease of use of the solution is its most valuable feature. The interface is also excellent."
"Excellent compression and deduplication with off-site WAN backup included."
"Dell PowerProtect DD (Data Domain) is expensive. Also, it has a sort of a big physical footprint that data domains have, and that's part of the problem."
"The tool's DD Boost is expensive."
"The price could be a little cheaper than it is now."
"DD doesn't have Intel's air gap technology."
"They still have hardware different from the software."
"We would like to see the price of this solution brought down to be comparable with similar products currently on the market."
"It helps if you have in-depth knowledge in order to use it correctly."
"They need to make migration easier."
"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."
"The initial set up was complex, and I was not able to do the set up myself."
"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."
"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 scalability of the solution is limited."
"Migrating the physical through a backup and restore to a virtual environment would be very helpful."
