"The initial setup of DD Boost involves a simple procedure."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is deduplication."
"DD Boost has improved our data backup and recovery process. Its data deduplication feature is amazing. The product comes with cloud features. It helps to save time."
"Data Domain Boost has a unique protocol. I don't think with other vendors you get the same efficiency. I work with some the other products, but this solution has amazing efficiency in comparison."
"I like the tool set, it's easy to work on and the support is brilliant."
"The tool's deployment was easy."
"The feature that I have found most useful is its data duplication."
"The solution is very scalable."
"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 most valuable feature is the performance because you can back up data really quickly."
"Deduplication and compression are the best features of the solution, which are popular and very effective."
"The backup is very secure. The deduplication using EMC is very good. We are able to make systems and handle random cloning. EMC is a very stable solution for making backups."
"It is stable. I would rate the stability of the solution a nine out of ten."
"Stable and scalable suite of solutions with deduplication, apart from data protection, storage, and backup."
"DD Boost needs to improve its interface. It should be easier to use."
"It would be good if the product could be useful not just for general backup. Its pricing is also expensive, and it can be a difficult application, particularly when you need to write a script for anything you would like to do."

"Though the customer uses the product, they don't receive active support from DD Boost even though they pay for it."
"This product is expensive compared to other storage so the price can be improved."
"The experience of restoring VMware or Veeam Backup is difficult, when the backup you are using is a solution for backup, which is already having a deduplication. When you try to restore from Data Domain, it doesn't work perfectly, because Data Domain is already having a deduplication as well."
"DD Boost could improve the solution by offering additional customizations that build upon existing features such as deduplication ratios. The primary objective of the solution is to create backups of existing data and push that data out to clients' backup systems. If they can make the process faster and introduce more enhancements, it would greatly benefit the backup environment."
"If you are using it with Recovery Manager, there are certain limitations. If those limitations are addressed, productivity will improve."
"It can probably have integration with other OEMs. It should also have more features for ransomware protection."
"I would like to see better integration and support for backing up to cloud providers such as Alibaba Cloud."
"They need to make migration easier."
"DD Boost."
"It helps if you have in-depth knowledge in order to use it correctly."
"EMC is very expensive for small customers."
"It could be more secure."
"We have some problems with backing up on the Power Platform. PowerServer is an IBM product, and it forces us to back up over LAN, which is not suitable for us."
