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."They are the best support that we have had so far. When you contact or email them, they are very quick to respond. They always have someone available for us. That's what we want as a customer, we want someone to listen to us."
"I have found the product's LiveBoot feature to be most valuable."
"Easy, immediate protection for data that is virtually infinitely scalable."
"The most valuable feature is the speed of backup, which is very good compared to other solutions."
"The scalability of the product is fine."
"The superior support from Barracuda in setting up, using, and helping with issues for the product."
"The most valuable features are the deduplication that analyzes data to identify duplicate patterns and granular restore."
"The most valuable feature is unlimited data storage on the cloud. Even if the employee has left the company for a few years, the backup will still be maintained."
"I like the tool set, it's easy to work on and the support is brilliant."
"The solution is very easy to manage. That's its most valuable feature."
"Operationally, we are satisfied as there have been no issues or closures to report."
"The initial setup of DD Boost involves a simple procedure."
"Overall, scalability is great."
"Scalable and stable solution for backup purposes, with good encryption and huge data conversion features."
"It's a stable solution."
"The backup aspect of the solution is its most valuable feature."
"Their technical support is not very good. You never know what they are doing and what is the issue. Customers need to know what is happening. This is our main concern and the only thing that can be improved in this solution. I would like to have more visibility about what is going on when something happens. I need to know what was done to solve the issue."
"The restore time can be improved. The restore time for large quantities of folders is slow. Sometimes, if I'm doing a full recovery of a server, it takes multiple hours, which probably is natural. It might also be because of our internet speed to the cloud."
"The solution depends on your connectivity, so it is essential to have a proper connection to the cloud."
"The solution needs fine-grained backup capabilities to service individual users. But this is a minor issue considering all that the product does."
"I would like to see a way to increase space."
"Barracuda Backup could use some more integration."
"It is not always stable."
"The tool is not user-friendly. The solution should also improve its compatibility. It is also not license-based."
"The solution needs to be more user-friendly for the end-users."
"The solution could improve by adding more flexibility for the customers here in Thailand. Some of the small capacity models of the solution are not needed by our customers. There should be a more flexible version of the solution."
"There are some limitations where you cannot use it as a shared server or as a file server, it is limited for the only backup."
"It would be nice if they could have the same tool set right from the smallest to the biggest modules, but being specific frame dependent."
"The experience of restoring VMware or Veeam Backup is difficult, when the backup you are using is a solution for backup, which is already having a deduplication. When you try to restore from Data Domain, it doesn't work perfectly, because Data Domain is already having a deduplication as well."
"DD Boost's technical support 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."
"The solution could always be cheaper."
