Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, NetApp and others in Deduplication Software."Its pricing is not overly expensive."
"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 deduplication feature is the most valuable part of the solution."
"This is a superior and reliable backup system that can handle large capacities with little management."
"The most valuable features of this product are its guaranteed reliability and its duplication capability."
"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."
"Stable and scalable suite of solutions with deduplication, apart from data protection, storage, and backup."
"The hardware can operate in high temperatures, in case of any disaster."
"Excellent compression and deduplication with off-site WAN backup included."
"Valuable features for us include quick recovery, compression, and deduplication."
"The CDP backup feature is very nice, as it allows you to take backups at high frequencies and with application consistency."
"We use the latest feature in Altaro called CDP (Continuous Data Protection) to back up our VMs as often as every five minutes. It allows us to make sure no data is accidentally deleted or overwritten."
"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."
"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 initial setup was simple and easy. Anyone without prior experience can install, configure, and use it."
"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."
"DD Boost."
"The firmware upgrades could be simplified. I'm in the process of struggling to upgrade right now."
"It can probably have integration with other OEMs. It should also have more features for ransomware protection."
"They're scalable."
"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 size and scale of the product are limited and could be improved."
"The tool's DD Boost is expensive."
"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."
"Stability."
"The cloud backup and VMware support (now available in the latest releases), could do with some improvement."
"It would be nice to be able to recover the items to their original location."
"Backup speed and comparisons between versions used to be slow on big VMs but that was improved greatly later on."
"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."
"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."
"Replication is not fast, the GUI could be more user-friendly, and technical support is lacking in Iran."
