Faisal_Zia - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers efficient data management with robust features and reliable performance
Dell PowerProtect DD (Data Domain) can be improved in terms of price. While Dell is providing a proper device, other solutions, such as Symantec, can replicate their data through any NAS storage. Although their deduplication and compression might not be as effective, they can still accomplish the task. 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.
SergiCastromil - PeerSpot reviewer
Simple to use, but the web interface needs to be improved
Imagine that you have two customers writing data to your appliance. You have two repositories, each one for each customer. If you need to know the real space used for each of them, you can't. Using the graphics and data that the appliance gives to you you are able to visualize how much space it is used on the system, as a global. There're other solutions that actually are able to do so. That's the most important thing that I miss. On another hand, I would like to see the web platform improved because it is a little bit confusing. There are options behind more and more options. If you try to get data about the performance, or research space, then it is confusing. Basically, anything to make things more clear for the user would be an improvement. And, as important as the first thing I said, technical support needs to be improved, at least in Spain.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"We have found the product to be scalable."
"I find the data to be most valuable."
"The backup is very secure. The deduplication using EMC is very good. We are able to make systems and handle random cloning. EMC is a very stable solution for making backups."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the integrated deduplication function."
"The tool's performance is very good. DD Boost can improve its performance and backup."
"It's very competitive in terms of the price and technology. Also, the development team continuously makes updates. The data reduction feature is very useful."
"Stable and scalable suite of solutions with deduplication, apart from data protection, storage, and backup."
"We have never had any issues with Data Domain. It has been stable."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its simplicity."
 

Cons

"When you use Data Domain, you have to have at least 20% free space so it can work properly. Sometimes we struggle with that, because we wanted to use all the free space, but then Data Domain becomes really slow. I understand that 20% is needed to process all the data, and doing the duplication and compression and all that, but it would be a big improvement if they did not require that 20%, because it is just too much to have available."
"I would like to see some kind of integration with the ransomware in the next release."
"The pricing should be adjusted. Customers continuously talk about the price. They know it is a good solution and they really need the type of storage the solution offers, but it costs somewhere around $100,000 and up. It's not cheap, but it's very important for data vendors."
"The licensing is not cost-effective, and the pricing could be better."
"DD doesn't have Intel's air gap technology."
"The product lacks some security features that would make it more stand-alone and integrated."
"The Data Domain solution appliance is quite expensive."
"The price for PowerProtect DD is not suitable for my customers. It is very high."
"Technical support needs to be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are many options in the pricing structure which can cause some confusion and necessitate the purchase of additional licensing."
"The approximate license cost for Dell PowerProtect DD (Data Domain) is around 5,00,000."
"The price may be a bit higher than other products in the market, but you will receive ten out of ten support with next-business-day delivery on parts' availability."
"The yearly subscription is very affordable for our customers, but the price could be a little cheaper overall."
"The price of the solution and support for Dell PowerProtect DD is expensive. We have customers that cannot upgrade to a newer version of the solution because the support is too expensive."
"The price is really high compared to other vendors. The licensing cost is huge. Normal, mid-tier companies or small-scale companies wouldn't be able to afford it easily."
"The price of Dell EMC PowerProtect DD could improve, it is expensive."
"Becoming more expensive."
