We performed a comparison between DD Boost and NetApp Cloud Backup based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Deduplication Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution can scale."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it can support both the CIFS and NFS protocols simultaneously."
"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."
"It cuts down network traffic, and only the relevant parts move around because it is deduced and encrypted."
"We can retain the data for a pretty long time."
"The solution is very easy to manage. That's its most valuable feature."
"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."
"The functionality is very good. DD Boost and DD entry replication are used in almost all backup concepts. Those are the most used features."
"NetApp Cloud Backup performance is good and they have beneficial technology."
"Scalability is very good."
"One feature that works well for us is that the Cloud Manager is a completely agentless solution. There's a similar dashboard on both the versions for on-premises and the cloud, and with reference to the Cloud Manager, it's a little faster because there's nothing to be installed as such. Being agentless, it doesn't require any agent to be deployed on the targets where the backups are triggered."
"When my company faced a problem with the product, it took some time to get proper support."
"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."
"The solution could improve by adding more flexibility for the customers here in Thailand. Some of the small capacity models of the solution are not needed by our customers. There should be a more flexible version of the solution."
"It would be nice if they could have the same tool set right from the smallest to the biggest modules, but being specific frame dependent."
"The product has low capacity."
"Though the customer uses the product, they don't receive active support from DD Boost even though they pay for it."
"It should be expanded to include other databases and software. It should also be made easier to restore."
"Technical support is okay but could be improved. I've sent a lot of complaints their way and I feel like they might be able to respond a bit better."
"Integration and reporting could be improved."
"One area that can be improved is around how we define the different KPIs. In particular, the business KPIs. I have my own in-house application for the business KPIs, so for example, with our policies around retention, which is a period of seven years, I have to read these parameters from other applications and I need them to integrate well."
"NetApp Cloud Backup could improve by being easier to use. Veeam solution is easier to use."
