Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, NetApp and others in Deduplication Software."It's a one-stop shop, meaning we just program and schedule the backups, decide what is being backed up, and then it automatically replicates and deduplicates."
"The backup feature is most valuable. That's why we took it."
"The most valuable features are the deduplication that analyzes data to identify duplicate patterns and granular restore."
"Barracuda's support is probably one of the best things about them, even with all their solutions. With any problem that we have, or even questions, we get the assistance that we need. The turnaround is pretty quick."
"The product is easy to install and use while doing what it is expected to do."
"The performance is good and the interface is user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature is the speed of backup, which is very good compared to other solutions."
"The main feature we like about Barracuda is that we can map devices directly to the cloud. It operates as a security device to run a backup of the cloud in case one of our physical machines goes down."
"The most valuable features are the Self-Service, and the ability to search the data."
"The command-line interface is good."
"The solution is highly stable."
"In terms of stability, I've found it to be very stable. I've walked into the server room when it was at 60 degrees Celcius, and it was still running fine."
"Overall IBM ProtectTIER is a great solution. It is easy to use."
"The cataloging is the best feature. It takes millions of frames for the backup. It's incremental, so it takes less time to complete."
"We're working with them on our file share backups. Our solution needs a little bit more fine-tuning. We're not sure if the issue is at our end or at Barracuda's end."
"The web interface needs to contain a more up-to-date view of the hardware."
"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."
"I would like to see the Live Boot feature extended to Hyper-V machines, in addition to VMware machines."
"I would like to see better integration with third-party applications."
"I would like to see a way to increase space."
"In the next release of this solution, I would like to see cloud support and deduplication functionality."
"The tool is not user-friendly. The solution should also improve its compatibility. It is also not license-based."
"The configuration wizards are still complex and hard to navigate. These should be easier to manage."
"IBM ProtectTIER could improve by being more user-friendly."
"I would like the possibility to back up the infrastructure and then replicate it upon on restart, without having to orchestrate the starting of the VM."
"Setting up the system to work with legacy equipment is a bit complex at times."
"The backup for a large amount of data is slow."
