Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, NetApp and others in Deduplication Software."9900 has around 1.5 petabits of capacity in a single rack, and that's huge."
"This is a superior and reliable backup system that can handle large capacities with little management."
"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."
"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."
"Stable and scalable suite of solutions with deduplication, apart from data protection, storage, and backup."
"The most valuable features of Dell PowerProtect DD are ease of use and deduplication."
"Short backup window has made a difference in the way my organization functions."
"It's very easy to use the domain once it's been set up. The interface is also user-friendly."
"Scalability is very good."
"NetApp Cloud Backup performance is good and they have beneficial technology."
"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."
"Dell PowerProtect DD could improve by having better integration with other backup solutions."
"The usage of this solution is a bit difficult to develop processes, and it takes a long time to market permits."
"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."
"The initial setup is complex."
"Its management can be improved."
"They're scalable."
"I would like to see better integration and support for backing up to cloud providers such as Alibaba Cloud."
"First-time integrations are difficult in NetWorker. NetWorker software needs to be simplified. It's very complex."
"NetApp Cloud Backup could improve by being easier to use. Veeam solution is easier to use."
"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."
"Integration and reporting could be improved."
