Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, NetApp and others in Deduplication Software."The solution is very scalable."
"Stable and scalable suite of solutions with deduplication, apart from data protection, storage, and backup."
"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 feature that I have found most useful is its data duplication."
"It works within backup windows and has got good deduplication."
"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 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."
"Our clients like the wide range of features that are available within this single solution."
"Being an appliance-based solution, we were able to migrate backup solutions without having to purchase a lot of hardware separately."
"It is fairly stable."
"The simple and fast restore routine."
"Replication to Forever Cloud."
"The predictive analytics are great and the reporting is awesome."
"Unitrends has helped us cut down the time that it takes to restore a server to its original configuration."
"The most valuable feature of Unitrends for me is the automated feedback"
"I like the fact that you can recover the VMs inside the appliance. For example, they're basically running this appliance on a Linux-based distribution, and they're spinning off KVM virtual machines inside."
"I would like to see better integration and support for backing up to cloud providers such as Alibaba Cloud."
"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."
"We encountered data loss during the configuration process."
"The tool's DD Boost is expensive."
"The pricing model needs to be improved."
"Technical support needs improvement."
"Data Domain lacks compatibility with fiber channels and tapes. We can't use it with a tape library. That's an issue in Latin America sometimes because a lot of clients still use tapes for budget reasons. Maybe they have a lot of archives. In North America and Europe, they do a lot of archiving, but they use the cloud more than we do. Sometimes we have to put together a Frankenstein where we connect another server to the tape library and send all the data there."
"I would like to see integration with public cloud."
"If the interface could be less complex, it is would be great."
"Probably the biggest issue I've had is actually paying for the unit, and part of that problem is that they use a third party for the billing."
"Unitrends can be challenging to scale."
"The solution’s support and onboarding process needs to be improved."
"There's a lot that can be made better. For example, it could be more scalable."
"Support is great for small simple issues, but anything more difficult, it is hard to get good resolutions without having to badger them and their management."
"I would like to see the real-time replication process improved, and a zero RPO feature added."
"The solution’s UI can be improved. I am saying this because I have seen solutions with better UIs."
