"It has simple buying options and deployments. You can buy on-cloud, on-premises, or hybrid solutions. Acronis Backup is very easy to deploy. It also does not consume much hardware. The administrator's tasks are very simple. It is very user friendly, and it also has good security features with low-level encryption and data encryption."
"Centralized management is valuable to us."
"The solution has all the features I need and user friendly."
"The backup timing and restoring process is great compared to other options."
"The most valuable feature is the fact that you can archive backups quite easily and minimize the amount of space you're using."
"The performance has been fine so far."
"In my opinion, it's the best product for end-users and PCs."
"Its pricing is not overly expensive."
"The compatibility within the Dell PowerProtect DD portfolio makes data management more seamless. This integrated solution improves efficiency in our data center and simplifies operations by relying on a single company for servers and storage."
"We are very satisfied with this solution. It's easy to use and efficient."
"When utilizing Dell PowerProtect DD for backup systems, Data Domain offers fast performance with low latency, providing high throughput for quicker backups compared to other vendors."
"The most valuable features of Dell PowerProtect DD are ease of use and deduplication."
"Data Domain is an excellent repository that's compatible with a lot of different solutions. Even Veeam Backup recommends sending backup to Data Domain. Space optimization is great. Currently, it guarantees 50-to-1 compression of the application in the same device. In all these years, I never had a client who was unsatisfied with Data Domain. It is a solid appliance with VMware integration, instant access to restore and search, and analytics."
"The most valuable feature is the inline data deduplication."
"The most valuable feature is the performance because you can back up data really quickly."
"The UI performance can be slow at times, especially when handling operations like checking backup status or initiating a restore. The response time for these actions could be improved."
"The biggest problem that we have is when the antivirus is installed, the whole machine runs very slowly and some of the machines hang."
"No technical support and minimal documentation."
"It would be better if they made it easier to obtain images for laptops and desktops. It isn't easy right now to have many different types of desktop computers. This is because Microsoft is changing a lot of things in Windows 10."
"It does not delete locked files."
"The solution's error handling can be improved specifically for Linux errors."
"Some of the default settings out-of-the-box should already be set up for the novice user. For instance, the warnings that say a hard drive has bad sectors and stops the backup from performing."
"Their support process can be quite lengthy...This is an area that needs improvement."
"The price could be improved."
"When you use Data Domain, you have to have at least 20% free space so it can work properly. Sometimes we struggle with that, because we wanted to use all the free space, but then Data Domain becomes really slow. I understand that 20% is needed to process all the data, and doing the duplication and compression and all that, but it would be a big improvement if they did not require that 20%, because it is just too much to have available."
"It helps if you have in-depth knowledge in order to use it correctly."
"We would like to see the price of this solution brought down to be comparable with similar products currently on the market."
"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 only problem is that it's more expensive than any other vendors available in the market."
"The software from Dell that can be used to operate Data Domain needs to have enhancements made to the user interface. It is too complex."
"They're scalable."
