"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."
"I find the data to be most valuable."
"The most valuable features of Dell PowerProtect DD are ease of use and deduplication."
"The feature that I have found most useful is its data duplication."
"The most valuable features of Dell EMC PowerProtect DD are the duplication security and uptime."
"Its pricing is not overly expensive."
"The initial setup was straightforward. Deployment takes about two weeks."
"One feature that works well for us is that the Cloud Manager is a completely agentless solution. There's a similar dashboard on both the versions for on-premises and the cloud, and with reference to the Cloud Manager, it's a little faster because there's nothing to be installed as such. Being agentless, it doesn't require any agent to be deployed on the targets where the backups are triggered."
"Scalability is very good."
"NetApp Cloud Backup performance is good and they have beneficial technology."
"Installation and deployment for this product need improvement. These processes need to made easier. Currently, it's not an easy installation for customers. This product needs to be installed by professionals."
"It helps if you have in-depth knowledge in order to use it correctly."
"We have had deduplication and replication issues. When we used another backup software we noticed that it didn't have the same issues."
"The licensing model was the biggest concern for our company, but the poor support after the initial implementation is of equal concern."
"The product lacks some security features that would make it more stand-alone and integrated."
"The Dell PowerProtect DD architecture offers several significant features. One is DD Boost, which is utilized at both the source and destination sites for application processing."
"The only problem is that it's more expensive than any other vendors available in the market."
"Dell PowerProtect DD does not have integration with the cloud and virtualization software."
"NetApp Cloud Backup could improve by being easier to use. Veeam solution is easier to use."
"One area that can be improved is around how we define the different KPIs. In particular, the business KPIs. I have my own in-house application for the business KPIs, so for example, with our policies around retention, which is a period of seven years, I have to read these parameters from other applications and I need them to integrate well."
"Integration and reporting could be improved."
