Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, NetApp and others in Deduplication Software."It is secure, reliable, and has officer support."
"The most valuable feature is the performance because you can back up data really quickly."
"The hardware can operate in high temperatures, in case of any disaster."
"We are very satisfied with this solution. It's easy to use and efficient."
"The initial setup was straightforward. Deployment takes about two weeks."
"This solution has a feature called Domain Boost, which allows for source deduplication and compression."
"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 features that I have found most valuable with Dell EMC PowerProtect DD are its deduplication feature and its DD Boost protocol for fast transfer, which is amazing."
"The most valuable feature of Dell PowerVault is its ability to provide small to medium-range storage. It doesn't have any specific standout features, but it's great for applications, such as surveillance where a large number of videos need to be recorded and performance isn't a priority."
"The stability is quite good. Once you deploy all the equipment, it's very stable."
"It is an inexpensive storage solution."
"Dell PowerVault is cheap."
"The solution is reliable and stable."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"For us, the initial setup was easy."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it is easy to manage and easy to use."
"It could be more secure."
"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."
"We would like to see the price of this solution brought down to be comparable with similar products currently on the market."
"It can probably have integration with other OEMs. It should also have more features for ransomware protection."
"We have had deduplication and replication issues. When we used another backup software we noticed that it didn't have the same issues."
"The licensing is not cost-effective, and the pricing could be better."
"Dell EMC Data Domain needs to have better compatibility between NetWorker and the hardware. NetWorker is not as good as the other products which are currently on the market like Backup Exec."
"Its management can be improved."
"The tool needs to improve its UI."
"The product is generally stable, but there have been instances, to my knowledge, where we faced issues in the controller during software upgrades. The availability is not at the desired level during these upgrade processes, as we sometimes need to shut down both controllers. This could be an area for improvement."
"In the next release, I would like the deduplication and compression included, as well as the flash technology. It doesn't currently use it."
"I would like Dell to improve on the configuration of the disk groups. Only one group is expandable. Once you configure the other disk group types, you cannot expand them. It limits scalability. If you want maybe to grow a disk group, you lose information, and then you need to build it up again, which is not a good use case for customers."
"There have been situations when our customers requested professional support and the price of that feature is quite high."
"The high prices of the solution are an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Sometimes integrating into a cluster can be difficult as you have to do it manually."
"PowerVault doesn't integrate with Active Directory. Other storage solutions offer SAN and NAS unified storage in a single appliance, but PowerVault is only SAN."
