Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, NetApp and others in Deduplication Software."It's very competitive in terms of the price and technology. Also, the development team continuously makes updates. The data reduction feature is very useful."
"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 feature that I have found most useful is its data duplication."
"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."
"I like Data Domain as a protocol for data backup."
"We have found the product to be scalable."
"I find the data to be most valuable."
"The tool's performance is very good. DD Boost can improve its performance and backup."
"The initial setup is simple."
"It's easy to backup data, manage. A"
"The initial setup process is simple."
"The implementation is straightforward."
"Catalyst backup is used to back up Oracle databases, and provides very good throughput during backups."
"The deduplication feature in this product is amazing."
"The initial setup is one of the most user-friendly B2B user solutions. It's good, it's easy. Deployment usually takes less than one day. You only need one person for deployment and maintenance."
"It results in more efficient storage utilization, cutting capital expenditure in half."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"The tool's DD Boost is expensive."
"They're scalable."
"The firmware upgrades could be simplified. I'm in the process of struggling to upgrade right now."
"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."
"We would like faster instant recovery."
"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 only problem is that it's more expensive than any other vendors available in the market."
"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."
"I would like to see an emphasis placed on making data deduplication and compression more powerful."
"The platform's price could be lower."
"Its customer service could be faster."
"The user interface of HPE StoreOnce should be more user-friendly. Additionally, the configuration and troubleshooting could be better."
"I don't see any new features that we could want or anything that could be done along those lines. Just that we need a bigger machine, so more speed."
"HPE StoreOnce Backup to Disk (BTD) is not a good backup solution for NAS devices. It does not have a dual controller, so if one controller fails, the entire system will go down."
"The product could be improved with better support for data protection."
"One item I wanted to see is SSD drives as a cache, and that was, for a time, still lacking in StoreOnce, however, they have done it now. It's not available yet, however, it will be shortly."
"The solution could always be more easily scalable."
