"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."
"As our organization functions, we have a total of 2500+ primary sites and 6300+ secondary sites. All of our entire backup systems are totally dependent on this product. EMC Data Domain is very reliable and there are no issues using it since 2015."
"The most valuable features of this product are its guaranteed reliability and its duplication capability."
"It is stable. I would rate the stability of the solution a nine out of ten."

"I would like to see Cohesity have the ability to do a file level restore from a Windows server, which is storing data on dynamic disk."
"I like that Cohesity offers the chance to have data on-premises and on the cloud. All the data is automatically sent to the cloud."
"Initial setup can be complex if you need to change IP addresses. Hopefully, they improve that in a future release."
"I think Cohesity could add more platform support. For example, they could improve integration with DB2 or make the integration S3 object storage a little tighter. Some of that stuff could use some work, but overall, it's a relatively comprehensive platform."
"Reporting is quite limited and not customizable."
"We would love to see direct compatibility with HPE Simplivity, which we also leverage."
"They could always keep up with continuous interface refinements."

"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 licensing model was the biggest concern for our company, but the poor support after the initial implementation is of equal concern."
"The pricing should be adjusted. Customers continuously talk about the price. They know it is a good solution and they really need the type of storage the solution offers, but it costs somewhere around $100,000 and up. It's not cheap, but it's very important for data vendors."
"We would like to see the price of this solution brought down to be comparable with similar products currently on the market."
"The pricing could be lower."
"They need to make migration easier."
