"I find the data to be most valuable."
"The most valuable feature is the performance because you can back up data really quickly."

"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."
"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."
"Data Domain lacks compatibility with fiber channels and tapes. We can't use it with a tape library. That's an issue in Latin America sometimes because a lot of clients still use tapes for budget reasons. Maybe they have a lot of archives. In North America and Europe, they do a lot of archiving, but they use the cloud more than we do. Sometimes we have to put together a Frankenstein where we connect another server to the tape library and send all the data there."
"It can probably have integration with other OEMs. It should also have more features for ransomware protection."
"The pricing model needs to be improved."
"Its management can be improved."

"Probably the biggest issue I've had is actually paying for the unit, and part of that problem is that they use a third party for the billing."
"There are some questions as to how safely they are storing backup data."
"Techs don't see to be well-versed in troubleshooting issues that arise and tickets stay opened for weeks for resolution."
"The solution’s UI can be improved. I am saying this because I have seen solutions with better UIs."
"If the interface could be less complex, it is would be great."
"It would be great to have the job throttle/limit the max number of backups on a single ESXi host."
"The amount of updates which are being released. Updates should be limited to two or three a year, focusing more on quality instead of a rushed bug release."
