Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, NetApp and others in Deduplication Software."The backup aspect of the solution is its most valuable feature."
"The solution is very good because it is easy to use and it speeds up the backup and lowers the requirement for the storage rate. It is capable of encryption, compression, and deduplication and it is fast for sending all of the data over the network because it sends only the change blocks from the client to the DD server."
"There are no limitations when it comes to the scalability feature of the product. You can scale up or scale down however much you want."
"We can retain the data for a pretty long time."
"Scalable and stable solution for backup purposes, with good encryption and huge data conversion features."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"The solution can scale."
"DD Boost has improved our data backup and recovery process. Its data deduplication feature is amazing. The product comes with cloud features. It helps to save time."
"The command-line interface is good."
"The solution is highly stable."
"The cataloging is the best feature. It takes millions of frames for the backup. It's incremental, so it takes less time to complete."
"Overall IBM ProtectTIER is a great solution. It is easy to use."
"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."
"The most valuable features are the Self-Service, and the ability to search the data."
"It should be expanded to include other databases and software. It should also be made easier to restore."
"Connectivity with the cloud and on-premises needs improved gateways."
"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."
"It would be good if the product could be useful not just for general backup. Its pricing is also expensive, and it can be a difficult application, particularly when you need to write a script for anything you would like to do."
"The solution could be faster."
"The main issue I've identified is that when backing up a final backup from the branch server, we don't have deduplication functionality."
"The solution doesn't scale. If you hit your capacity, you need to buy a new device."
"DD Boost needs to improve its interface. It should be easier to use."
"IBM ProtectTIER could improve by being more user-friendly."
"The configuration wizards are still complex and hard to navigate. These should be easier to manage."
"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."
