We performed a comparison between DD Boost and NetApp FAS 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."The time taken for backup is very fast."
"The most valuable feature is the support for plug-ins."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is deduplication."
"The solution is very good because it is easy to use and it speeds up the backup and lowers the requirement for the storage rate. It is capable of encryption, compression, and deduplication and it is fast for sending all of the data over the network because it sends only the change blocks from the client to the DD server."
"The time taken for backup is very fast."
"The solution is quite scalable. An organization shouldn't have any problem expanding if they use this solution."
"The traditional storage node and VPN setups are still viable options, but DD Boost offers a premium option with additional advantages. If available, adopting DD Boost can be a good choice."
"Very stable solution."
"The product is flexible."
"I have found all the features useful in NetApp FAS Series."
"The replication feature is noteworthy because it's faster than most and it uses little bandwidth. Then there's the friendly interface that the equipment offers. With this interface, it is very easy to manage."
"For us, the greatest aspect of the solution is the fact that it just runs. It is amazingly resilient. That's very important to us, because we are basically, with some exceptions, have a 24/7 operation."
"NetApp FAS is highly stable and reliable, especially under a heavy load. That is what I like most about the NetApp."
"The best feature is its ONTAP product line for Ransomware protection. It also has features for file storage and block storage. The solution is stable. We've had no issues with it. The tool is scalable and meets our requirements. The technical support and the supporting partner are great. The initial setup is straightforward. It is very easy to maintain the product. The feature set is excellent. I recommend the solution."
"Reliable storage solution with an easy setup. It has high availability and makes single file restoration easy. It also has good stability and scalability."
"It is a scalable solution."
"It should be expanded to include other databases and software. It should also be made easier to restore."
"This product is expensive compared to other storage so the price can be improved."
"There are limitations when using the VTL protocol in extreme cases."
"I'd like the be able to deploy the solution on SAN backups."
"Integration could be better."
"My customer was interested in ransomware protection. Currently, Dell offers the Cyber Vault solution, which is separate from Data Domain. Ideally, ransomware protection would be integrated directly within DD Boost, without requiring an additional out-of-the-box solution. This feature is currently available with HPE's Zerto and Huawei's Ocean Protect with third-party products like PradoNet. While Cyber Vault exists as a separate solution from Data Domain, having some standard protection for immutable backups into DD Boost would be a valuable addition and make it more competitive with other vendors."
"Connectivity with the cloud and on-premises needs improved gateways."
"The main issue I've identified is that when backing up a final backup from the branch server, we don't have deduplication functionality."
"The biggest issue we face is parts delivery. There's no local warehouse in Myanmar, so if a customer encounters a technical problem like an IMEI issue, they have to wait a long time for replacement parts."
"NetApp FAS Series should introduce an FTP application for the broadcast and post-production market."
"The solution could do more than just data."
"We no longer have OEM support in South Africa which is not helpful, it can be difficult. They should add an office back to the country because it was better."
"Dedicated storage efficiency accelerators could improve the overall performance of the system."
"NetApp FAS Series should improve its price, which is expensive."
"The adoption of flash by NetApp has also been lagging behind the trendsetters, like TMS, Nimble, and others."
"There is no NetApp infrastructure set up here in Greece."
