Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, NetApp and others in Deduplication Software."The solution is very stable."
"We have never had any issues with Data Domain. It has been stable."
"Our clients like the wide range of features that are available within this single solution."
"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."
"It is a stable solution."
"The initial setup was straightforward. Deployment takes about two weeks."
"Good starting capacity and scalability."
"Short backup window has made a difference in the way my organization functions."
"The best feature of the solution is the user interface."
"The most valuable feature is the disaster recovery process from the data center."
"The solution offers a 100% guarantee that if it's backed up you will be able to restore it onto any platform you want."
"It is very easy to use and very easy to manage. The fact that I can easily recover data is valuable. I don't use it much. The only way I have been using it is that sometimes, people ask to recover the data, which is a very easy process. It takes only a few minutes to get in and get the data from the server."
"One feature I found that's the most valuable in Quest Rapid Recovery is the VM standby feature which is very useful for my current customer. The solution also has a great replication feature. The third most valuable feature in Quest Rapid Recovery is the five-minute RPO and the fifteen-minute RTO. The solution is also very user-friendly."
"The general backup for replication and virtual standby are the most valuable aspects. It does what it says it does. It's a decent tool for not a big budget."
"The most valuable feature of Quest Rapid Recovery for our organization is the VM recovery functionality."
"The solution's most valuable aspect is its ability to back up a physical server to another physical or virtual server."
"Installation and deployment for this product need improvement. These processes need to made easier. Currently, it's not an easy installation for customers. This product needs to be installed by professionals."
"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."
"The only problem is that it's more expensive than any other vendors available in the market."
"The size and scale of the product are limited and could be improved."
"It helps if you have in-depth knowledge in order to use it correctly."
"The pricing could be lower."
"DD doesn't have Intel's air gap technology."
"The pricing model needs to be improved."
"Rapid Recovery can only backup the machine or disc, but it can't back up from folders, and files, and things like that."
"For the most part, it is really good in terms of flexibility and choice of recovery methods. What we found lacking was being able to back up virtual volumes that are clustered. We ran out of luck there. There should be an option for backing up clustered virtual volumes."
"You can only take a snapshot from a virtual environment. It should have the ability to take snapshots from both a virtual and physical environment."
"Sometimes, when we have certain batches for Windows, it needs to be restarted. When it's restarted, the service is configured as a delayed start. Sometimes, you need to wait too long until it rights itself, or you have to do it manually."
"When you do a full backup, all of the memory resources on the server are used, which is something that should be improved."
"It's buggy. That's a big problem. We're arranging to get rid of it. We're going to switch to Veeam."
"It is quite surprising to me that the configuration cannot be backed up automatically, and I think that Rapid Recovery should have an option for scheduled configuration backup."
"In terms of what needs improvement in Quest Rapid Recovery, though the solution is seamless, right now, they are just giving the software which means we'll need to arrange the hardware. If they can combine the appliance and software, that would be a great approach. In the next release of Quest Rapid Recovery, it would be great if they'd add a folder backup feature because only a snapshot backup feature is available at the moment."
