"The tool's performance is very good. DD Boost can improve its performance and backup."
"The initial setup was straightforward. Deployment takes about two weeks."
"I like Data Domain as a protocol for data backup."
"The most valuable features of Dell PowerProtect DD are reduplication and compression. It provides a lot of data savings for backups. Additionally, the Dell PowerProtect DD solution offers a bundled backup software and storage option. If desired, users can also connect to cloud technology to create an additional copy of their data in the cloud. This solution supports synchronization with various cloud vendors, including Azure and AWS."
"It is stable. I would rate the stability of the solution a nine out of ten."
"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 simple and easy. Anyone without prior experience can install, configure, and use it."
"The interface is user-friendly and even if our tech isn't onsite, we can work with the owners to confirm that the data will be restored with no issues."
"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."
"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."
"It is an excellent product. It is easy to deploy, stable, and fast. Their support is excellent."
"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."
"This solution is stable."
"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."
"First-time integrations are difficult in NetWorker. NetWorker software needs to be simplified. It's very complex."
"We encountered data loss during the configuration process."
"The pricing should be adjusted. Customers continuously talk about the price. They know it is a good solution and they really need the type of storage the solution offers, but it costs somewhere around $100,000 and up. It's not cheap, but it's very important for data vendors."
"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 price could be improved."
"We would like to see the price of this solution brought down to be comparable with similar products currently on the market."
"The pricing model needs to be improved."
"The firmware upgrades could be simplified. I'm in the process of struggling to upgrade right now."
"The scalability of the solution is limited."
"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."
"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 initial set up was complex, and I was not able to do the set up myself."
"Replication is not fast, the GUI could be more user-friendly, and technical support is lacking in Iran."
"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."
"Migrating the physical through a backup and restore to a virtual environment would be very helpful."
"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."
