We performed a comparison between Dell PowerProtect DD (Data Domain) and Veritas NetBackup based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, NetApp and others in Deduplication Software."The product, a disk backup solution, improves our data application tasks. We used tape libraries with Dev drives in legacy architectures, resulting in slow backups compared to modern drives like NVMe and SSDs. By transitioning to NVMe and SSDs, backups have become much faster. The tool's backup restoration is faster compared to other tools."
"The deduplication feature is the most valuable part of the solution."
"PowerProtect is a flexible solution that you can cover various cloud and on-premise environments."
"Dell PowerProtect DD is a stable solution."
"Dell PowerProtect DD’s most valuable feature is data deduplication."
"The most valuable features of Dell PowerProtect DD are ease of use and deduplication."
"I like the different features. We work closely with Dell on different products and features, which is why we use them all."
"I like Data Domain as a protocol for data backup."
"The solution offers very good storage efficiency, so there's excellent compression and deduplication within the product that our clients really appreciate."
"Could be used for both of Physical and Virtual Environments."
"The most valuable feature is its stability."
"The main thing I like about NetBackup is CloudPoint. You can take a snapshot of the endpoint and back it up with CloudPoint. The data backups are the most important."
"We believe that everything Veritas NetBackup offers, including backups, snapshots, deduplication, and replication, is valuable."
"We were able to witness the benefits of using the solution within weeks of using it."
"The VM portal and the CloudCatalyst are two of the solution's most valuable features."
"Deduplication is quite efficient. It is not a complex product. It is quite simple."
"Dell PowerProtect DD should come out with its own system so we do not have to use Data Domain. For example, something similar to what Symantec has done."
"It could be more secure."
"EMC is very expensive for small customers."
"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."
"It can probably have integration with other OEMs. It should also have more features for ransomware protection."
"The price could be improved."
"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."
"Its management can be improved."
"There is a big change in Veritas. In the past, we could easily change servers or appliances and continue working by restoring the catalog. We could change servers from Linux to Linux or Linux to Solaris and perform catalog restores to continue working. But with the new version, we are forced to engage Veritas' professional services, which is too expensive."
"In terms of improvement, it's very difficult to make it work with multiple business units. Its security model is too constricted."
"It needs support for Kernel-based Virtual Machines (KVMs)."
"Setup implementation."
"GUI needs to be more user-friendly."
"What needs to be improved in Veritas NetBackup is its interface, e.g. they should make it more user friendly. Scalability for this product could still be improved, particularly its hardware appliance scalability."
"They need to improve their support. In the beginning, their engineers had trouble understanding the issue we were presenting. It took a lot of conversations for them to start troubleshooting the problem."
"DDBoost."
