"The most valuable feature is the performance because you can back up data really quickly."
"It's very easy to use the domain once it's been set up. The interface is also user-friendly."
"9900 has around 1.5 petabits of capacity in a single rack, and that's huge."
"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."

"I like the different features. We work closely with Dell on different products and features, which is why we use them all."
"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."
"It is very easy to implement."
"HPE StoreOnce has high performance."
"Has very good deduplication and encryption features."
"The interface is very user-friendly."
"The most valuable features are the deduplication and compression capabilities."
