"It works within backup windows and has got good deduplication."
"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."
"Our clients like the wide range of features that are available within this single solution."
"Dell PowerVault is user-friendly and easy to deploy."

"Dell PowerVault offers valuable full flash storage."
"The solution is reliable and stable."

"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"For us, the initial setup was easy."
"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."
"We would like to see the price of this solution brought down to be comparable with similar products currently on the market."
"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."
"They need to make migration easier."
"Technical support needs improvement."
"The pricing could be better, but it's still not too expensive."
"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."
"If the solution came with a synchronous application, it would be particularly advantageous for small businesses operating across multiple sites."
"In the next release, I would like the deduplication and compression included, as well as the flash technology. It doesn't currently use it."
"I would like to see improvements made to the user interface."
"We need higher performance and more reliable storage."
"The price of the solution could be lower."
"The high prices of the solution are an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Dell PowerVault is block-oriented storage only."
"We could set up the installation through a web server, but it's not very reactive on the web server. For example, when you launch a task, and you don't know exactly if the task has begun or if the task is in progress, or if it's finished. You have to wait for three to five to ten minutes to be sure that the task is running or in progress or finished. So at that point, it's not very good."
