Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, NetApp and others in Deduplication Software."Our clients like the wide range of features that are available within this single solution."
"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."
"It is a stable solution."
"Good starting capacity and scalability."
"The deduplication feature is the most valuable part of the solution."
"The most valuable feature is the performance because you can back up data really quickly."
"The technology has been very useful. There are lots of features on offer."
"The stability is excellent."
"I have found it to be the simplest solution to the market. It gives us a complete end to end solution. We are using this solution, Veritas Appliance and another one for access archiving. It is convenient to have all the support from one vendor."
"AIR and duplication, overall management and troubleshooting."
"The tool's most valuable feature is backups."
"The solution has been very good over the years at fine-tuning various aspects of the product so that it is continuously made better."
"It was especially useful with the appliances we use on a daily basis."
"I think the support is fine. We haven't had issues with it."
"The main thing I like about NetBackup is CloudPoint. You can take a snapshot of the endpoint and back it up with CloudPoint. The data backups are the most important."
"Veritas released a new feature in version 8 of NetBackup called VRP. It's kind of like replication management from VMware. The great thing about this feature is that Veritas gave it to us for free."
"The price could be improved."
"Its management can be improved."
"The only problem is that it's more expensive than any other vendors available in the market."
"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."
"It can probably have integration with other OEMs. It should also have more features for ransomware protection."
"The size and scale of the product are limited and could be improved."
"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."
"The biggest problem with NetBackup is licensing."
"Lacks a reporting feature."
"They need to improve their support. In the beginning, their engineers had trouble understanding the issue we were presenting. It took a lot of conversations for them to start troubleshooting the problem."
"Technical support is somewhat slow and is in need of improvement."
"There could be granular control over metadata components, specifically in the context of JSON data for the product."
"The product is not able to keep up with other competitors in the market."
"This solution would benefit from a more friendly, web-based interface."
"The backup operation interface is not as mature as those of Veritas's competitors and has room for improvement."
