Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, NetApp and others in Deduplication Software."Scalable and stable solution for backup purposes, with good encryption and huge data conversion features."
"The initial setup of DD Boost involves a simple procedure."
"The solution is very easy to manage. That's its most valuable feature."
"DD Boost's best features are deduplication and compression."
"Operationally, we are satisfied as there have been no issues or closures to report."
"It cuts down network traffic, and only the relevant parts move around because it is deduced and encrypted."
"The most valuable features are the performance and the duplication."
"The solution is very good because it is easy to use and it speeds up the backup and lowers the requirement for the storage rate. It is capable of encryption, compression, and deduplication and it is fast for sending all of the data over the network because it sends only the change blocks from the client to the DD server."
"The command-line interface is good."
"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."
"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."
"Overall IBM ProtectTIER is a great solution. It is easy to use."
"The solution is highly stable."
"DD Boost's technical support could be better."
"This solution should cover more platforms, and there should be more product coverage."
"The solution needs a better gateway between the on-premises and cloud deployment models. We have to work around it or find a third party to assist."
"It should be expanded to include other databases and software. It should also be made easier to restore."
"The solution could be faster."
"The solution needs to be more user-friendly for the end-users."
"DD Boost could improve the solution by offering additional customizations that build upon existing features such as deduplication ratios. The primary objective of the solution is to create backups of existing data and push that data out to clients' backup systems. If they can make the process faster and introduce more enhancements, it would greatly benefit the backup environment."
"Connectivity with the cloud and on-premises needs improved gateways."
"IBM ProtectTIER could improve by being more user-friendly."
"The backup for a large amount of data is slow."
"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 configuration wizards are still complex and hard to navigate. These should be easier to manage."
