Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, NetApp and others in Deduplication Software."I like Data Domain as a protocol for data backup."
"The product provides good backup and compression services."
"9900 has around 1.5 petabits of capacity in a single rack, and that's huge."
"The feature that I have found most useful is its data duplication."
"The features that I have found most valuable with Dell EMC PowerProtect DD are its deduplication feature and its DD Boost protocol for fast transfer, which is amazing."
"We are very satisfied with this solution. It's easy to use and efficient."
"Dell PowerProtect DD’s most valuable feature is data deduplication."
"We have found the product to be scalable."
"Ability to restore to any host."
"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."
"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."
"The CDP backup feature is very nice, as it allows you to take backups at high frequencies and with application consistency."
"The ease of use of the solution is its most valuable feature. The interface is also excellent."
"The product has many valuable features for handling backup needs, including replication, live migration, and incremental disaster recovery."
"The initial setup was simple and easy. Anyone without prior experience can install, configure, and use it."
"EMC is very expensive for small customers."
"They should reduce the CPC cost to customers. The product is becoming very expensive."
"It could be more secure."
"DD doesn't have Intel's air gap technology."
"The price of the product is high."
"The only problem is that it's more expensive than any other vendors available in the market."
"Data Domain lacks compatibility with fiber channels and tapes. We can't use it with a tape library. That's an issue in Latin America sometimes because a lot of clients still use tapes for budget reasons. Maybe they have a lot of archives. In North America and Europe, they do a lot of archiving, but they use the cloud more than we do. Sometimes we have to put together a Frankenstein where we connect another server to the tape library and send all the data there."
"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."
"Backup speed and comparisons between versions used to be slow on big VMs but that was improved greatly later on."
"Migrating the physical through a backup and restore to a virtual environment would be very helpful."
"Improvement areas for Altaro VM Backup include enhancing backup and deduplication solutions for continuous operation and offering an all-in-one solution for hardware backup."
"Stability."
"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."
"To improve Altaro, I would like to see the ability to choose more than one backup location at a time."
"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."
"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."
