"It is a stable solution."
"Its pricing is not overly expensive."
"It is stable. I would rate the stability of the solution a nine out of ten."
"The most valuable features of Dell PowerProtect DD are ease of use and deduplication."
"9900 has around 1.5 petabits of capacity in a single rack, and that's huge."
"The most valuable features of Dell EMC PowerProtect DD are the duplication security and uptime."
"It works within backup windows and has got good deduplication."
"The CDP backup feature is very nice, as it allows you to take backups at high frequencies and with application consistency."
"The initial setup was simple and easy. Anyone without prior experience can install, configure, and use it."
"The intuitive interface allows you to set up and perform backups and restores easily."
"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."
"Valuable features for us include quick recovery, compression, and deduplication."
"It is an excellent product. It is easy to deploy, stable, and fast. Their support is excellent."
"Ability to restore to any host."
"The pricing could be better, but it's still not too expensive."
"We are not able to deal directly with the OEM we have to go to their partners in Nigeria."
"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."
"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."
"When you use Data Domain, you have to have at least 20% free space so it can work properly. Sometimes we struggle with that, because we wanted to use all the free space, but then Data Domain becomes really slow. I understand that 20% is needed to process all the data, and doing the duplication and compression and all that, but it would be a big improvement if they did not require that 20%, because it is just too much to have available."
"Its management can be improved."
"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."
"Migrating the physical through a backup and restore to a virtual environment would be very helpful."
"The scalability of the solution is limited."
"It would be nice to be able to recover the items to their original location."
"Stability."
"The cloud backup and VMware support (now available in the latest releases), could do with some improvement."
"Availability of physical server backup would be an added advantage."
"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 initial set up was complex, and I was not able to do the set up myself."
