We performed a comparison between DD Boost and NetApp FAS Series based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."It's a stable solution."
"It cuts down network traffic, and only the relevant parts move around because it is deduced and encrypted."
"The most valuable feature is the support for plug-ins."
"The tool's deployment was easy."
"DD Boost's best features are deduplication and compression."
"This product's unique protocol make it superior to competing products and alternate solutions."
"Very stable solution."
"Data Domain Boost has a unique protocol. I don't think with other vendors you get the same efficiency. I work with some the other products, but this solution has amazing efficiency in comparison."
"Good for NAS and unified solutions."
"Flexible and reliable storage solution with multiple features such as cloning, replication, and deduplication. Data migration can be done without any performance implications on the production systems."
"The solution is easy to use."
"It's a stable product. No issues there."
"Most valuable features are its ease of use, robust Snapshot functionality, and that you can use it in two datacenters with SnapMirror-ing."
"The solution is stable."
"The most valuable feature of the NetApp FAS Series is the snapshot and the FlexClone for Oracle and Microsoft SQL environments. Additionally, the integration can be done with most all on-premise and cloud providers."
"The most valuable features are the NAS features and NetApp's excellent support."
"Connectivity with the cloud and on-premises needs improved gateways."
"This product is expensive compared to other storage so the price can be improved."
"The solution needs a better gateway between the on-premises and cloud deployment models. We have to work around it or find a third party to assist."
"The solution could be faster."
"If you are using it with Recovery Manager, there are certain limitations. If those limitations are addressed, productivity will improve."
"DD Boost could improve the solution by offering additional customizations that build upon existing features such as deduplication ratios. The primary objective of the solution is to create backups of existing data and push that data out to clients' backup systems. If they can make the process faster and introduce more enhancements, it would greatly benefit the backup environment."
"Technical support is okay but could be improved. I've sent a lot of complaints their way and I feel like they might be able to respond a bit better."
"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 solution could do more than just data."
"Cost is always a factor. Some people choose EMC or Dell because they perceive NetApp as being more expensive."
"We're supposed to have used NetApp FAS Series for replication, but then one of the nodes failed, and then it's taken us some time to bring it up."
"Dedicated storage efficiency accelerators could improve the overall performance of the system."
"Needs to improve the adaptive storage quality of service."
"The one aspect of the solution that's negative for us is also more unique to us due to the fact that we did a MetroCluster. The tiebreaker piece that does the monitoring of the two different locations, and determines if one is not talking to the network normally (or if it's truly down) is a little difficult. It feels like it was not designed from the beginning to fit well into the other pieces. It feels like it was thrown in at the last minute and it is not smooth."
"I would like to see NetApp add incident support."
"The product should improve its user experience."
