"PowerProtect is a flexible solution that you can cover various cloud and on-premise environments."
"Deduplication and compression are the best features of the solution, which are popular and very effective."
"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."
"I find the data to be most valuable."
"It is stable. I would rate the stability of the solution a nine out of ten."
"The most valuable features of ExaGrid EX are the Veeam features and Landing Zone."
"Both the pricing and the performance are excellent."
"I would like to see integration with public cloud."

"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."
"We have had deduplication and replication issues. When we used another backup software we noticed that it didn't have the same issues."
"Its management can be improved."
"They need to make migration easier."
"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."
"We are not able to deal directly with the OEM we have to go to their partners in Nigeria."
"The solution’s web access should be improved."
"I would like to see free disk space."
