It is a solid appliance with VMware integration, instant access to restore and search, and analytics."

This solution supports synchronization with various cloud vendors, including Azure and AWS."

"It helps if you have in-depth knowledge in order to use it correctly."
"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."
"The initial setup is complex."
"Dell PowerProtect DD could improve by having better integration with other backup solutions."
"The pricing could be better, but it's still not too expensive."
"Installation and deployment for this product need improvement. These processes need to made easier. Currently, it's not an easy installation for customers. This product needs to be installed by professionals."
"We encountered data loss during the configuration process."
