We performed a comparison between Dell PowerProtect DD (Data Domain) and NetApp Cloud Backup based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Deduplication Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Its pricing is not overly expensive."
"The product provides good backup and compression services."
"Our clients like the wide range of features that are available within this single solution."
"It's very easy to use the domain once it's been set up. The interface is also user-friendly."
"It is secure, reliable, and has officer support."
"The feature that I have found most useful is its data duplication."
"This solution has a feature called Domain Boost, which allows for source deduplication and compression."
"Stable and scalable suite of solutions with deduplication, apart from data protection, storage, and backup."
"Scalability is very good."
"One feature that works well for us is that the Cloud Manager is a completely agentless solution. There's a similar dashboard on both the versions for on-premises and the cloud, and with reference to the Cloud Manager, it's a little faster because there's nothing to be installed as such. Being agentless, it doesn't require any agent to be deployed on the targets where the backups are triggered."
"NetApp Cloud Backup performance is good and they have beneficial technology."
"Dell PowerProtect DD should come out with its own system so we do not have to use Data Domain. For example, something similar to what Symantec has done."
"The licensing model was the biggest concern for our company, but the poor support after the initial implementation is of equal concern."
"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."
"Technical support needs improvement."
"The pricing could be lower."
"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."
"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."
"First-time integrations are difficult in NetWorker. NetWorker software needs to be simplified. It's very complex."
"NetApp Cloud Backup could improve by being easier to use. Veeam solution is easier to use."
"One area that can be improved is around how we define the different KPIs. In particular, the business KPIs. I have my own in-house application for the business KPIs, so for example, with our policies around retention, which is a period of seven years, I have to read these parameters from other applications and I need them to integrate well."
"Integration and reporting could be improved."
