Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, NetApp and others in Deduplication Software."We have found the product to be scalable."
"The most valuable feature is the inline data deduplication."
"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 product, a disk backup solution, improves our data application tasks. We used tape libraries with Dev drives in legacy architectures, resulting in slow backups compared to modern drives like NVMe and SSDs. By transitioning to NVMe and SSDs, backups have become much faster. The tool's backup restoration is faster compared to other tools."
"Dell PowerProtect DD’s most valuable feature is data deduplication."
"It's very easy to use the domain once it's been set up. The interface is also user-friendly."
"The technology has been very useful. There are lots of features on offer."
"The initial setup was straightforward. Deployment takes about two weeks."
"The most valuable feature is its stability."
"The solution offers a lot of really great features that organizations can utilize and take advantage of."
"Backup and recovery software with great stability, and can support large-scale environments."
"Unauthorized people cannot log in and execute commands."
"The backup and restore functions are very valuable aspects of the product."
"Ease of installing, configuring, upgrading, and troubleshooting."
"This is a product that has been on the market for a while and they have mastered the backup process, especially when backing up to tape, for most environments."
"The main thing I like about NetBackup is CloudPoint. You can take a snapshot of the endpoint and back it up with CloudPoint. The data backups are the most important."
"We would like faster instant recovery."
"EMC is very expensive for small customers."
"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."
"The price could be improved."
"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."
"They're scalable."
"It helps if you have in-depth knowledge in order to use it correctly."
"It could be more secure."
"The user interface could improve, it seems a bit out of date."
"The solution is not that stable because it has to be monitored and administered every day. The stability could be improved."
"The product must enable data migration from on-premise to the cloud."
"Improvements can be made to the service by providing better and more competitive ratios on data backups. The functionality for backups is there with Veritas, but I would like to see them optimize and enhance this feature more."
"I have been involved in upgrades. They have not been straightforward. Some of them have required us to make changes to our architecture and production environment."
"Data restoration from Veritas NetBackup is quite slow. I would also like documentation that I can share with my technical team."
"The solution must provide a different way to schedule backups."
"It is not very user-friendly."
