Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, NetApp and others in Deduplication Software."Short backup window has made a difference in the way my organization functions."
"Most cases are related to databases, such as Oracle and MySQL."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the integrated deduplication function."
"The solution is very scalable."
"Our clients like the wide range of features that are available within this single solution."
"The initial setup was straightforward. Deployment takes about two weeks."
"The compression aspect of the solution is great."
"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."
"This is a complete solution, everything is under one console."
"The documentation is good."
"Its ability to cover a large spectrum of products and operating systems is invaluable. We evaluated other products but always found certain limitations like some products had only intel-based virtualization, while others had power servers."
"I am comfortable with using this product."
"What I like most is it is a professional product. It supports all kinds of technologies, and I consider it one of the best backup products available."
"The solution offers a lot of really great features that organizations can utilize and take advantage of."
"The most valuable feature is replication because, using NetBackup replication, we can have disaster recovery of the data we have."
"Management interface was simple to use once understood."
"EMC is very expensive for small customers."
"They need to make migration easier."
"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."
"It can probably have integration with other OEMs. It should also have more features for ransomware protection."
"I would like to see some kind of integration with the ransomware in the next release."
"DD Boost."
"The licensing model was the biggest concern for our company, but the poor support after the initial implementation is of equal concern."
"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."
"The solution is not that stable because it has to be monitored and administered every day. The stability could be improved."
"Main area that could be improved is the pricing, to make it more competitive"
"They currently have the Java concept and it should be less intensive and take less load."
"Updates were not always consistent."
"Veritas NetBackup has been in the backup and recovery market for quite a long time, but somehow, from my own observations and from feedback from end users, its user interface is lagging behind other comparable solutions such as Veeam."
"Once the protection plan is created, we cannot pause or resume via the web administration page."
"There is a big change in Veritas. In the past, we could easily change servers or appliances and continue working by restoring the catalog. We could change servers from Linux to Linux or Linux to Solaris and perform catalog restores to continue working. But with the new version, we are forced to engage Veritas' professional services, which is too expensive."
"It should be able to integrate with the cloud. If we leverage a cloud in the future for backup, there should be very fast help and more options for customers to choose from."
