"The product provides good backup and compression services."
"The most valuable features of this product are its guaranteed reliability and its duplication capability."
"As our organization functions, we have a total of 2500+ primary sites and 6300+ secondary sites. All of our entire backup systems are totally dependent on this product. EMC Data Domain is very reliable and there are no issues using it since 2015."
"The most valuable features of Dell PowerProtect DD are ease of use and deduplication."
"It is very fast as compared to the other competitors. Its simplicity and bit rate are also valuable. It takes less time if we compare it with the old solution that we have."
"The product, a disk backup solution, improves our data application tasks. We used tape libraries with Dev drives in legacy architectures, resulting in slow backups compared to modern drives like NVMe and SSDs. By transitioning to NVMe and SSDs, backups have become much faster. The tool's backup restoration is faster compared to other tools."
"The most valuable features of Dell PowerProtect DD are reduplication and compression. It provides a lot of data savings for backups. Additionally, the Dell PowerProtect DD solution offers a bundled backup software and storage option. If desired, users can also connect to cloud technology to create an additional copy of their data in the cloud. This solution supports synchronization with various cloud vendors, including Azure and AWS."
"Good starting capacity and scalability."
"The scalability is very good."
"Quick recovery."
"We also really benefit from the GUI capabilities."
"This is a user-friendly solution."
"The solution saves a lot of storage capacity."
"The speed and deduplication ratio are two of the most valuable features of the solution."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its catalyst mode, along with better performance, backup, and recovery."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that the tool provides good value for somebody who needs an affordable and reliable storage solution."
"The price could be improved."
"The tool's pricing could be cheaper."
"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 would like faster instant recovery."
"The pricing model needs to be improved."
"The pricing could be lower."
"We encountered data loss during the configuration process."
"We have had deduplication and replication issues. When we used another backup software we noticed that it didn't have the same issues."
"When it comes to upgrading, it always goes block-wise. One block is 48 TB raw capacity. It would be good if they can include a smaller capacity for SMB customers. Currently, it is not possible to increase in a smaller capacity. You have to buy the exact same unit. It would be great if they can provide a smaller next block. There are around 20 hard disks, and it would be really helpful if we can add 10 hard disks initially and 10 hard disks later."
"I would like to see an emphasis placed on making data deduplication and compression more powerful."
"Cloud integration needs to be simplified."
"Hardware maintenance involves some downtime for backup destination storage which can be a problem for some."
"The latency is a bit high."
"HPE StoreOnce could improve the capacity support."
"We would like to see some improvements in the Veeam Backup & Replication integration. It's good, but it has a lot of room to improve. In particular around the inability to easily move data between StoreOnce appliances."
"The solution would be improved if it could also be used as a data store for VMware."
