Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, NetApp and others in Deduplication Software."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 features are the deduplication and compression and the Data Domain Boost."
"The solution is very stable."
"9900 has around 1.5 petabits of capacity in a single rack, and that's huge."
"We have found the product to be scalable."
"The hardware can operate in high temperatures, in case of any disaster."
"The solution can scale up to one petabyte right now. It's very good for enterprise-level organizations."
"PowerProtect is a flexible solution that you can cover various cloud and on-premise environments."
"It is an excellent product. It is easy to deploy, stable, and fast. Their support is excellent."
"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."
"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."
"The ability to test the backups without having to manually mount the VHDs after restore allows us to check the integrity of the backups."
"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."
"Excellent compression and deduplication with off-site WAN backup included."
"They still have hardware different from the software."
"Dell PowerProtect DD should come out with its own system so we do not have to use Data Domain. For example, something similar to what Symantec has done."
"We encountered data loss during the configuration process."
"The tool's pricing could be cheaper."
"They're scalable."
"The initial setup is complex."
"We would like to see the price of this solution brought down to be comparable with similar products currently on the market."
"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 cloud backup and VMware support (now available in the latest releases), could do with some improvement."
"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 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 initial set up was complex, and I was not able to do the set up myself."
"Migrating the physical through a backup and restore to a virtual environment would be very helpful."
"The scalability of the solution is limited."
"Replication is not fast, the GUI could be more user-friendly, and technical support is lacking in Iran."
"Backup speed and comparisons between versions used to be slow on big VMs but that was improved greatly later on."
