Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."The solution has been very stable."
"The agentless architecture has minimized our software footprint at the client level."
"I have found all the features useful in the solution."
"It has helped us to provide comprehensive data protection with high recovery rates and a malware scanning feature."
"The feature that I have found most useful is its data duplication."
"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 initial setup was straightforward. Deployment takes about two weeks."
"I like Data Domain as a protocol for data backup."
"We have found the product to be scalable."
"The technology has been very useful. There are lots of features on offer."
"The most valuable features of this product are its guaranteed reliability and its duplication capability."
"Deduplication and compression are the best features of the solution, which are popular and very effective."
"They should improve the malware scanning capabilities, extending it to protect cloud application data."
"The management could be a bit better."
"The tool's pricing could be cheaper."
"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."
"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 size and scale of the product are limited and could be improved."
"I would like to see better integration and support for backing up to cloud providers such as Alibaba Cloud."
"We have had deduplication and replication issues. When we used another backup software we noticed that it didn't have the same issues."
"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."
"The pricing could be lower."
