Provides seamless backup integration and long-term reliability for enterprise data protection
The price is quite high; this product is not considered cheap. Additionally, if you use higher availability boxes, they also come at a premium price. However, they provide business continuity, which is the main reason why companies invest in this solution. Tape is slow; when restoring several virtual machines or databases amounting to several terabytes, Dell PowerProtect Data Domain represents the fastest and most reliable solution, ensuring great integration with backup software. If a customer has limited budget constraints, they may opt for cheaper external storage comprised of just a bunch of disks and utilize it for backup, as backup is not a business-critical service. However, I see great value in Dell PowerProtect Data Domain because it is fully automated, features great integration with backup software, and provides good value for money. I would rate software support as a ten, while I would give hardware support a seven. I never give any product a perfect score; I think Dell PowerProtect Data Domain deserves a nine. The only minor problems are the certificate issue and the price. These certificate issues are quite rare and mainly arise when we forget to restart and upgrade the box for several years.

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

"The integration of Dell PowerProtect DD (Data Domain) with leading backup applications within the infrastructure is very good."
"Data Domain is an excellent repository that's compatible with a lot of different solutions. Even Veeam Backup recommends sending backup to Data Domain. Space optimization is great. Currently, it guarantees 50-to-1 compression of the application in the same device. In all these years, I never had a client who was unsatisfied with Data Domain. It is a solid appliance with VMware integration, instant access to restore and search, and analytics."
"We haven't had any difficulties with the solution while testing it."
"It's very easy to use Data Domain once it's been set up, and the interface is also user-friendly."
"9900 has around 1.5 petabits of capacity in a single rack, and that's huge."
"It should provide everything that an enterprise needs."
"They're attempting to take backups from their backup solution, which has improved their overall scalability and storage efficiency because they transitioned from a traditional backup solution to a more advanced solution within the Veracode domain."
"Dell PowerProtect Data Domain has impacted my organization positively because most of my use cases are required, so it is useful for my organization."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its simplicity."
 

Cons

"We are not able to deal directly with the OEM we have to go to their partners in Nigeria."
"From a pricing perspective, it is quite high and very costly compared to other storage or backup solutions."
"Maybe the price is an area for improvement in Dell PowerProtect Data Domain."
"DD doesn't have Intel's air gap technology."
"In terms of improvement for Dell PowerProtect Data Domain, I suggest that the licensing structure could be clearer, as it is difficult to understand how capacity relates to the license capacity, which is not very transparent."
"Regarding the pricing for Dell PowerProtect Data Domain, it is expensive. For small clients, it is very expensive."
"To improve Dell PowerProtect Data Domain, I would suggest making it cheaper."
"Without a service account manager after the initial deployment, the support is poor."
"Technical support needs to be improved."
"I have been in touch with Fujitsu technical support and this is the bad part of the solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If we do not move to the cloud solution and stay with our on-premise version we will miss some new features."
"This is one of the more expensive backup solutions on the market."
"Pricing for this product could still be improved, though several years ago, its price was very high. When buying an IDPA product such as Dell EMC PowerProtect DD (Data Domain), you don't have to buy anything else, because you'll have an integrated solution: a data domain appliance plus software."
"The pricing is cost-effective for the solution"
"Becoming more expensive."
"There are many options in the pricing structure which can cause some confusion and necessitate the purchase of additional licensing."
"We usually buy products at the end year, and the license is included."
