"This solution has a feature called Domain Boost, which allows for source deduplication and compression."
"The feature that I have found most useful is its data duplication."
"As our organization functions, we have a total of 2500+ primary sites and 6300+ secondary sites. All of our entire backup systems are totally dependent on this product. EMC Data Domain is very reliable and there are no issues using it since 2015."
"The initial setup was straightforward. Deployment takes about two weeks."
"The most valuable features of Dell PowerProtect DD are ease of use and deduplication."
"It works within backup windows and has got good deduplication."
"I find the data to be most valuable."
"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."
"Its interface can be improved. I find it unintuitive."
"The initial setup was complex."
"Based on my experience, whenever we need support, there are difficulties with communication when trying to resolve the issue."
"We cannot restore each user's mailbox. Each user's mailbox should be independently restorable. Also, this solution is very slow. If you select all of the servers, it runs for a long time... It needs to be faster. Finally, If anything happens to one server we should be able to switch to another server."
"I had an issue with Arcserve UDP during the failover and the secondary machine didn't get back online, even though it ran automatically. I faced the issue during a crisis situation. However, I haven't faced such a problem again."
"I don't know whether the tool has VMware integrations. It would be good to cover this area if it doesn't have those."
"The product is not user-friendly."
"DD doesn't have Intel's air gap technology."
"It can probably have integration with other OEMs. It should also have more features for ransomware protection."
"Looking at Dell PowerProtect DD (Data Domain), there is a need for improvement, especially in terms of protection from cyber resiliency, cyber recovery, or man-in-the-middle attacks."
"The tool's DD Boost is expensive."
"The product lacks some security features that would make it more stand-alone and integrated."
"The price could be a little cheaper than it is now."
"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 tool's pricing could be cheaper."
