Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, NetApp and others in Deduplication Software."The deduplication feature is the most valuable part of the solution."
"The most valuable features of Dell PowerProtect DD are reduplication and compression. It provides a lot of data savings for backups. Additionally, the Dell PowerProtect DD solution offers a bundled backup software and storage option. If desired, users can also connect to cloud technology to create an additional copy of their data in the cloud. This solution supports synchronization with various cloud vendors, including Azure and AWS."
"It is a stable solution."
"The tool's performance is very good. DD Boost can improve its performance and backup."
"We are very satisfied with this solution. It's easy to use and efficient."
"The compression aspect of the solution is great."
"The technology has been very useful. There are lots of features on offer."
"The backup is very secure. The deduplication using EMC is very good. We are able to make systems and handle random cloning. EMC is a very stable solution for making backups."
"The backup and restore features are helpful."
"It's a good product, it does what we want it to do."
"The Replication Director, Auto Image Replication, Accelerator, Oracle Intelligent Policy, synthetic and VADP backups are the most valuable features."
"Deduplication is quite efficient. It is not a complex product. It is quite simple."
"Unauthorized people cannot log in and execute commands."
"The solution offers very good storage efficiency, so there's excellent compression and deduplication within the product that our clients really appreciate."
"Could be used for both of Physical and Virtual Environments."
"The most valuable features are the ability to create a trust relationship and historical reports."
"First-time integrations are difficult in NetWorker. NetWorker software needs to be simplified. It's very complex."
"The tool's pricing could be cheaper."
"They need to make migration easier."
"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."
"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."
"When you use Data Domain, you have to have at least 20% free space so it can work properly. Sometimes we struggle with that, because we wanted to use all the free space, but then Data Domain becomes really slow. I understand that 20% is needed to process all the data, and doing the duplication and compression and all that, but it would be a big improvement if they did not require that 20%, because it is just too much to have available."
"The firmware upgrades could be simplified. I'm in the process of struggling to upgrade right now."
"DD Boost."
"The only pain point we have with this solution is the cost. It's very expensive. In fact, it's so expensive we are looking for other platforms. We want to move away from it in order to save our organization costs."
"We are facing a challenge regarding the support for Docker and Kubernetes features. We hope for the possibility of directly backing up Kubernetes and Docker images without the necessity of taking full virtual machine backups."
"I would like to have support enabled for cloud backups."
"It needs support for Kernel-based Virtual Machines (KVMs)."
"The ability to use different disk appliance brands as Pure Disk (not OST), such as EMC Data Domain ."
"The most common problem is the backup failures over the weekend. We have to troubleshoot and sometimes do restores and then we have trouble doing some of the restores."
"Within their product lineup, they need to consolidate down to one product. Veritas doesn't have one product that does everything. So, Veritas can do everything, but you basically need to run two products. I would like them to combine all the capabilities into one release."
"System administrators would be more efficient in NetBackup if the number of tools and command lines was reduced."
