We performed a comparison between DD Boost, IBM ProtectTIER, and NetApp FAS Series 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 initial setup is very straightforward."
"The functionality is very good. DD Boost and DD entry replication are used in almost all backup concepts. Those are the most used features."
"It cuts down network traffic, and only the relevant parts move around because it is deduced and encrypted."
"DD Boost has improved our data backup and recovery process. Its data deduplication feature is amazing. The product comes with cloud features. It helps to save time."
"The tool's deployment was easy."
"Data Domain Boost has a unique protocol. I don't think with other vendors you get the same efficiency. I work with some the other products, but this solution has amazing efficiency in comparison."
"Overall, scalability is great."
"The initial setup of DD Boost involves a simple procedure."
"The command-line interface is good."
"Overall IBM ProtectTIER is a great solution. It is easy to use."
"The cataloging is the best feature. It takes millions of frames for the backup. It's incremental, so it takes less time to complete."
"The most valuable features are the Self-Service, and the ability to search the data."
"The solution is highly stable."
"In terms of stability, I've found it to be very stable. I've walked into the server room when it was at 60 degrees Celcius, and it was still running fine."
"This solution provides us with easy management and great vendor support."
"NetApp FAS Series is simple to set up."
"At the moment, we use NetApp SnapMirror to replicate data to another filer at an offsite location for backup. So, I like this feature."
"The initial setup was so straightforward. It was well-documented."
"The most valuable feature of the NetApp FAS Series is its stability."
"It's an easy product to use that is stable and has good performance."
"Compression of the backup Oracle by RMAN on NFS saves space 5:1."
"It changed the way we do Disaster Recovery (DR) around NetApp replication."
"It would be nice if they could have the same tool set right from the smallest to the biggest modules, but being specific frame dependent."
"The solution could always be cheaper."
"DD Boost's technical support could be better."
"DD Boost needs to improve its interface. It should be easier to use."
"The solution doesn't scale. If you hit your capacity, you need to buy a new device."
"Connectivity with the cloud and on-premises needs improved gateways."
"It would be good if the product could be useful not just for general backup. Its pricing is also expensive, and it can be a difficult application, particularly when you need to write a script for anything you would like to do."
"The solution needs to be more user-friendly for the end-users."
"The configuration wizards are still complex and hard to navigate. These should be easier to manage."
"Setting up the system to work with legacy equipment is a bit complex at times."
"I would like the possibility to back up the infrastructure and then replicate it upon on restart, without having to orchestrate the starting of the VM."
"The backup for a large amount of data is slow."
"IBM ProtectTIER could improve by being more user-friendly."
"With scalability, we feel the system is limited."
"The AutoSupport could be improved to be more proactive in certain cases."
"The product should include an audit log feature."
"The solution's configuration is not flexible."
"The high cost of the product is an area of concern, so from an improvement perspective, the tool needs to be made cheaper."
"The solution could do more than just data."
"The product must support more drives."
"Interfacing with the cloud environment could be better. I want to be able to move some cloud volume and integrate it seamlessly with my home on-premise storage. Sometimes I have issues with port permissions. NetApp probably needs to improve more on the integration side from on-premise to the cloud."
