Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, NetApp and others in Deduplication Software."There are no limitations when it comes to the scalability feature of the product. You can scale up or scale down however much you want."
"It cuts down network traffic, and only the relevant parts move around because it is deduced and encrypted."
"Very stable solution."
"I like the tool set, it's easy to work on and the support is brilliant."
"The time taken for backup is very fast."
"Data Domain is valuable, especially to restore data. For normal data, the restore from Data Domain is very efficient and fast."
"Scalable and stable solution for backup purposes, with good encryption and huge data conversion features."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it can support both the CIFS and NFS protocols simultaneously."
"Scalability is very good."
"NetApp Cloud Backup performance is good and they have beneficial technology."
"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."
"DD Boost's technical support could be better."
"Connectivity with the cloud and on-premises needs improved gateways."
"Integration could be better."
"The solution could be faster."
"There are limitations when using the VTL protocol in extreme cases."
"My customer was interested in ransomware protection. Currently, Dell offers the Cyber Vault solution, which is separate from Data Domain. Ideally, ransomware protection would be integrated directly within DD Boost, without requiring an additional out-of-the-box solution. This feature is currently available with HPE's Zerto and Huawei's Ocean Protect with third-party products like PradoNet. While Cyber Vault exists as a separate solution from Data Domain, having some standard protection for immutable backups into DD Boost would be a valuable addition and make it more competitive with other vendors."
"The main issue I've identified is that when backing up a final backup from the branch server, we don't have deduplication functionality."
"The solution must provide better deduplication."
"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."
"NetApp Cloud Backup could improve by being easier to use. Veeam solution is easier to use."
"Integration and reporting could be improved."
