Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, NetApp and others in Deduplication Software."PowerProtect is a flexible solution that you can cover various cloud and on-premise environments."
"The hardware can operate in high temperatures, in case of any disaster."
"The stability is excellent."
"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."
"Our clients like the wide range of features that are available within this single solution."
"The most valuable features of this product are its guaranteed reliability and its duplication capability."
"The most valuable feature is the performance because you can back up data really quickly."
"The compression aspect of the solution is great."
"One feature that works well for us is that the Cloud Manager is a completely agentless solution. There's a similar dashboard on both the versions for on-premises and the cloud, and with reference to the Cloud Manager, it's a little faster because there's nothing to be installed as such. Being agentless, it doesn't require any agent to be deployed on the targets where the backups are triggered."
"NetApp Cloud Backup performance is good and they have beneficial technology."
"Scalability is very good."
"Dell PowerProtect DD could improve by having better integration with other backup solutions."
"It could be more secure."
"The only problem is that it's more expensive than any other vendors available in the market."
"I would like to see some kind of integration with the ransomware in the next release."
"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."
"Looking at Dell PowerProtect DD (Data Domain), there is a need for improvement, especially in terms of protection from cyber resiliency, cyber recovery, or man-in-the-middle attacks."
"We have had deduplication and replication issues. When we used another backup software we noticed that it didn't have the same issues."
"The tool's pricing could be cheaper."
"Integration and reporting could be improved."
"NetApp Cloud Backup could improve by being easier to use. Veeam solution is easier to use."
"One area that can be improved is around how we define the different KPIs. In particular, the business KPIs. I have my own in-house application for the business KPIs, so for example, with our policies around retention, which is a period of seven years, I have to read these parameters from other applications and I need them to integrate well."
