Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, NetApp and others in Deduplication Software."Our clients like the wide range of features that are available within this single solution."
"9900 has around 1.5 petabits of capacity in a single rack, and that's huge."
"It works within backup windows and has got good deduplication."
"The most valuable feature is the inline data deduplication."
"We are very satisfied with this solution. It's easy to use and efficient."
"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."
"The deduplication feature is the most valuable part of the solution."
"It's very easy to use the domain once it's been set up. The interface is also user-friendly."
"The initial setup was simple and easy. Anyone without prior experience can install, configure, and use it."
"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 intuitive interface allows you to set up and perform backups and restores easily."
"The CDP backup feature is very nice, as it allows you to take backups at high frequencies and with application consistency."
"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."
"This solution is stable."
"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."
"It is an excellent product. It is easy to deploy, stable, and fast. Their support is excellent."
"I would like to see integration with public cloud."
"The licensing model was the biggest concern for our company, but the poor support after the initial implementation is of equal concern."
"The software from Dell that can be used to operate Data Domain needs to have enhancements made to the user interface. It is too complex."
"DD Boost."
"The pricing could be lower."
"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."
"It could be more secure."
"The tool's DD Boost is expensive."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
