Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."One of the things that I do like about it is that it has a very good deduplication feature."
"It is very stable."
"There are many backup options available in this solution. For example, you are able to do backups of servers, email, OST files, and users. This is a complete backup solution which is very good."
"The data protection functionality is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"The interface is very refined, works fine, and is very intuitive most of the time. Scalability is nice. The multi-tenancy feature is very welcome. The integration with Linux works fine too."
"Instant recovery is the most valuable feature of Arcserve UDP."
"Arcserve UDP has a good configuration and user interface. It makes the job of an administrator easy."
"Global deduplication is the best feature of this solution."
"Our clients like the wide range of features that are available within this single solution."
"I find the data to be most valuable."
"Deduplication and compression are the best features of the solution, which are popular and very effective."
"The most valuable feature is the inline data deduplication."
"The features that I have found most valuable with Dell EMC PowerProtect DD are its deduplication feature and its DD Boost protocol for fast transfer, which is amazing."
"The tool's performance is very good. DD Boost can improve its performance and backup."
"The compression aspect of the solution is great."
"The technology has been very useful. There are lots of features on offer."
"Backups are very slow and time consuming."
"Arcserve UDP is in the middle range of complexity. The interface can be developed a little bit more to be user-friendly."
"Every time I change the disc, I have to do a full backup."
"The solution can use a lot of bandwidth when the scheduling is not done, it should auto-schedule itself. For example, if there are 50 users connected in the network at 12 o'clock and the backup is not scheduled. At this time the network offices are going to have performance issues when it is doing a backup. Having a feature to auto-schedule a time when the network is not being used often would be beneficial."
"We are looking at scaling up to the cloud and using immutable copies on the cloud. Arcserve UDP 8.0 does have the immutable feature supporting AWS, but I'm looking for multi-cloud support. So, I'm waiting for Arcserve to release that in the next release."
"Based on my experience, whenever we need support, there are difficulties with communication when trying to resolve the issue."
"The solution can improve by allowing older versions to support the latest version of the OS."
"The problem is just reliability. If the promises in the marketing material were realized in real life, it would be the perfect solution, but it's just the reliability issues."
"We encountered data loss during the configuration process."
"They should reduce the CPC cost to customers. The product is becoming very expensive."
"The firmware upgrades could be simplified. I'm in the process of struggling to upgrade right now."
"The only problem is that it's more expensive than any other vendors available in the market."
"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."
"Dell EMC Data Domain needs to have better compatibility between NetWorker and the hardware. NetWorker is not as good as the other products which are currently on the market like Backup Exec."
"The initial setup is complex."
"First-time integrations are difficult in NetWorker. NetWorker software needs to be simplified. It's very complex."
