There are instances where backups fail on certain applications, which is an area that could be improved.
While Dell Avamar is a good product, the pricing is very high.
The high availability feature is only present in the higher models of Dell PowerProtect DD (Data Domain).
It is suitable for more customers since it is small, cost-effective, and a good start for any customer to know about Data Domain and DBS solutions.
Medium-level and SME-level businesses can easily utilize this feature, but Dell PowerProtect DD (Data Domain) is a relatively expensive solution to propose to customers.
It is well-positioned on the radar, with a mature and stable solution.

The most valuable feature for me is the backup functionality.
The most valuable feature of Dell PowerProtect DD (Data Domain) is its deduplication capability.
By using Data Domain, we get the advantage of data deduplication, reducing data size.
Retention for data, deduplication, and replication between sites are valuable features.
If the actual size for backup data is 100 terabytes, using StoreOnce, it will be around less than 10% of the original size due to the 1 to 10 deduplication ratio.
The most effective features for data deduplication are maximizing storage capacity and minimizing expenditure.
The recovery is important.
