We performed a comparison between Dell PowerProtect DD (Data Domain) and Microsoft DPM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, NetApp and others in Deduplication Software."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."
"We have never had any issues with Data Domain. It has been stable."
"The compression aspect of the solution is great."
"Its pricing is not overly expensive."
"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."
"PowerProtect is a flexible solution that you can cover various cloud and on-premise environments."
"The most valuable features of Dell PowerProtect DD are ease of use and deduplication."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the integrated deduplication function."
"The most valuable feature is that DPM has an index so individual files can be searched."
"The most important feature is that it's easy to use."
"The automated procedure is quite good for us, as it is able to capture all of the information that we require."
"It has an application backup, a file backup, a system backup and a hypervisor."
"The initial setup is quite straightforward."
"I could back up all the stuff we had, even the VMs we have for Hyper V."
"This solution helps us to manage all of the operations across servers and different workstations."
"The solution backs up Microsoft workloads as well as anything on the market."
"We have had deduplication and replication issues. When we used another backup software we noticed that it didn't have the same issues."
"It can probably have integration with other OEMs. It should also have more features for ransomware protection."
"The initial setup is complex."
"The pricing could be better, but it's still not too expensive."
"It helps if you have in-depth knowledge in order to use it correctly."
"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."
"Technical support needs improvement."
"The pricing model needs to be improved."
"The problem lies with the 2019 version, it's the file system they’re using."
"Compatibility and integration with other products needs improvement."
"Additional Hyper-V knowledge would be great."
"Management reporting could be improved."
"To evaluate the solution's abilities and its performance under demanding conditions, it is recommended to carry out a stress test."
"The data tagging feature needs improvement. The solution could be a bit more intuitive in certain aspects."
"The user interface can be improved quite a bit."
"It would be better if it integrated seamlessly with open source and competitor products. In the next release, I would like to see some data governance frameworks. It should have support features for data integration and data replication like Veeam. Right now, we are also using Veeam for certain scenarios."
