We performed a comparison between Dell PowerProtect DD (Data Domain) and Quantum DXi Series based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Deduplication Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."This is a superior and reliable backup system that can handle large capacities with little management."
"We are very satisfied with this solution. It's easy to use and efficient."
"The features that I have found most valuable with Dell EMC PowerProtect DD are its deduplication feature and its DD Boost protocol for fast transfer, which is amazing."
"The most important feature is the level of data compression provided by Dell EMC. It's a leader in data compression and deduplication, and the level of compression isn't available with any other vendors in the market."
"This solution has a feature called Domain Boost, which allows for source deduplication and compression."
"The feature that I have found most useful is its data duplication."
"I like the different features. We work closely with Dell on different products and features, which is why we use them all."
"9900 has around 1.5 petabits of capacity in a single rack, and that's huge."
"While the challenges posed by the difficulties were significant, they prompted the replacement of problematic components, resulting in the resolution of issues. Importantly, there were no substantial ongoing concerns. Regarding the overall performance, it has been consistently excellent."
"I am impressed with the tool's technical alliance with Veeam and Veritas."
"The usage of this solution is a bit difficult to develop processes, and it takes a long time to market permits."
"They still have hardware different from the software."
"Technical support needs improvement."
"It could be more secure."
"The pricing model needs to be improved."
"The product lacks some security features that would make it more stand-alone and integrated."
"Dell PowerProtect DD could improve by having better integration with other backup solutions."
"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 product needs to improve performance while scaling out. It also needs to improve stability."
"Perhaps the most notable area for enhancement lies in the web interface for management. The current limitations in LDAP editing capabilities are not addressed in the UI, and I haven't observed any recent updates. It's possible that the new version of the DXI service incorporates improvements in the GUI, but I cannot confirm. While there is room for improvement in the current GUI, it remains a relatively minor issue. Overall, the system is comprehensive, covering aspects such as reports on latency and networking, leaving little room for additional enhancements in those areas."
