Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, NetApp and others in Deduplication Software."I like Data Domain as a protocol for data backup."
"The hardware can operate in high temperatures, in case of any disaster."
"The technology has been very useful. There are lots of features on offer."
"The most valuable feature is the performance because you can back up data really quickly."
"We have never had any issues with Data Domain. It has been stable."
"Its pricing is not overly expensive."
"PowerProtect is a flexible solution that you can cover various cloud and on-premise environments."
"Good starting capacity and scalability."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"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."
"They should reduce the CPC cost to customers. The product is becoming very expensive."
"We have had deduplication and replication issues. When we used another backup software we noticed that it didn't have the same issues."
"The downside of PowerProtect's flexibility is that you have so many options. It can be a little confusing. It's like having a car with too many buttons on the dash. You can do so much with it, but it takes some time to learn what everything does."
"Dell PowerProtect DD should come out with its own system so we do not have to use Data Domain. For example, something similar to what Symantec has done."
"The software from Dell that can be used to operate Data Domain needs to have enhancements made to the user interface. It is too complex."
"Dell PowerProtect DD (Data Domain) is expensive. Also, it has a sort of a big physical footprint that data domains have, and that's part of the problem."
"Data Domain lacks compatibility with fiber channels and tapes. We can't use it with a tape library. That's an issue in Latin America sometimes because a lot of clients still use tapes for budget reasons. Maybe they have a lot of archives. In North America and Europe, they do a lot of archiving, but they use the cloud more than we do. Sometimes we have to put together a Frankenstein where we connect another server to the tape library and send all the data there."
"The solution could always be more easily scalable."
