What is most valuable?
The solution offers good storage. Also, deduplication and completion are the best features, in my opinion.What needs improvement?
The pricing should be adjusted. Customers continuously talk about the price. They know it is a good solution and they really need the type of storage the solution offers, but it costs somewhere around $100,000 and up for enterprises. It's not cheap, but it's very important for data vendors. My… more»What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Pricing is related to size. A lower range solution might be about $33,000. My customers use higher range versions with a price of around $100,000. That's the price for both the hardware and the software.What other advice do I have?
I'm using the solution as a technical case professional. I'm selling it to my customers. I sell the on-premises deployment model. It's the best solution for deduplication and compression of storage, but the pricing is a little high. The solution works with any backup software. You might use it as a… more»

What is most valuable?
The backup is very secure. The deduplication using EMC is very good. We are able to make systems and handle random cloning. EMC is a very stable solution for making backups.What needs improvement?
The solution needs to improve its platform, especially backup features like DB2 and other system backups. They should reduce the CPC cost to customers. The product is becoming very expensive. In the next release, EMC should support stable level listings at restoration and stable space level in the… more»Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We previously used HP Data Protector. The HP Data Protector backup was not secure. We used to do a backup, but at the time of restoration, it would give us some issues on the restored data.

The most valuable features are the deduplication and compression and the Data Domain Boost feature. It's compatible with other backup software.What needs improvement?
