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."It's a one-stop shop, meaning we just program and schedule the backups, decide what is being backed up, and then it automatically replicates and deduplicates."
"It is very reliable, so we don't have any issues with it. Our customers have never raised any issue with it. Basically, once you set it up and it is running, it is trouble-free. Our customers are happy. They just got a renewal for the subscription for the service."
"The most valuable feature is unlimited data storage on the cloud. Even if the employee has left the company for a few years, the backup will still be maintained."
"The most valuable feature is the speed of backup, which is very good compared to other solutions."
"We perform backup drills to test the functionality, and we don't have any problems."
"The most important feature in Barracuda Backup is the ability to archive the backup of emails."
"Most important is its ease of use. You plug it in, follow the steps, and you have your backup file."
"The most valuable features are the deduplication that analyzes data to identify duplicate patterns and granular restore."
"The most valuable features of Dell PowerProtect DD are reduplication and compression. It provides a lot of data savings for backups. Additionally, the Dell PowerProtect DD solution offers a bundled backup software and storage option. If desired, users can also connect to cloud technology to create an additional copy of their data in the cloud. This solution supports synchronization with various cloud vendors, including Azure and AWS."
"This solution has a feature called Domain Boost, which allows for source deduplication and compression."
"I like the different features. We work closely with Dell on different products and features, which is why we use them all."
"The technology has been very useful. There are lots of features on offer."
"Dell PowerProtect DD’s most valuable feature is data deduplication."
"It works within backup windows and has got good deduplication."
"The solution is very stable."
"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."
"It would be nice to have some reports generated on the usage, but it is not essential."
"I would like to see the Live Boot feature extended to Hyper-V machines, in addition to VMware machines."
"We're working with them on our file share backups. Our solution needs a little bit more fine-tuning. We're not sure if the issue is at our end or at Barracuda's end."
"The web interface needs to contain a more up-to-date view of the hardware."
"Their technical support is not very good. You never know what they are doing and what is the issue. Customers need to know what is happening. This is our main concern and the only thing that can be improved in this solution. I would like to have more visibility about what is going on when something happens. I need to know what was done to solve the issue."
"I would like to see the automatic backup of critical applications to the cloud."
"Barracuda Backup could use some more integration."
"The solution needs fine-grained backup capabilities to service individual users. But this is a minor issue considering all that the product does."
"We have had deduplication and replication issues. When we used another backup software we noticed that it didn't have the same issues."
"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."
"The pricing could be lower."
"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."
"The solution's cost, scalability, and licensing model could be improved."
"We are not able to deal directly with the OEM we have to go to their partners in Nigeria."
"Dell PowerProtect DD should come out with its own system so we do not have to use Data Domain. For example, something similar to what Symantec has done."
"The tool's DD Boost is expensive."
