Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, NetApp and others in Deduplication Software."The most valuable features are the deduplication and compression and the Data Domain Boost."
"It works within backup windows and has got good deduplication."
"It's very easy to use the domain once it's been set up. The interface is also user-friendly."
"This solution has a feature called Domain Boost, which allows for source deduplication and compression."
"Stable and scalable suite of solutions with deduplication, apart from data protection, storage, and backup."
"Short backup window has made a difference in the way my organization functions."
"The solution is very stable."
"The most important feature is the level of data compression provided by Dell EMC. It's a leader in data compression and deduplication, and the level of compression isn't available with any other vendors in the market."
"The most valuable features are that it's easy to set up PowerVault. I also like the provisioning of storage."
"It is an inexpensive storage solution."
"Dell PowerVault is user-friendly and easy to deploy."
"The storage has been good."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The stability is quite good. Once you deploy all the equipment, it's very stable."
"The Dell warranty is the most valuable feature."
"I like the tool's CloudIQ feature."
"The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that it is easy to use and integrate with whichever operating systems you use, providing you with a complete view, especially when you plan to migrate to some other operating system."
"You can store backups for a while."
"Being able to move data seamlessly from one-premise to the cloud (Azure). It works great. The backup solution is perfect for us."
"It's pretty simple. Once you set it, it goes; and then the idea of being able to get it to the cloud very quickly. It's kind of a set-it-forget-it."
"The deduplication engine. Right now, we're at about 10.5 to 11 times deduplication of our backup data."
"Its initial setup is easy."
"The solution can be used for all Office 365 applications."
"The flexibility. Being able to virtualize it, port it wherever I like, test my backups, test my DR capabilities whenever I like without impacting anybody."
"I would like to see integration with public cloud."
"We would like faster instant recovery."
"The only problem is that it's more expensive than any other vendors available in the market."
"They need to make migration easier."
"The price could be improved."
"We have some problems with backing up on the Power Platform. PowerServer is an IBM product, and it forces us to back up over LAN, which is not suitable for us."
"I would like to see some kind of integration with the ransomware in the next release."
"The pricing model needs to be improved."
"I would like to see improvements made to the user interface."
"The implementation process takes a while."
"In the next release, I would like the deduplication and compression included, as well as the flash technology. It doesn't currently use it."
"There have been situations when our customers requested professional support and the price of that feature is quite high."
"The tool needs to improve its UI."
"If the solution came with a synchronous application, it would be particularly advantageous for small businesses operating across multiple sites."
"The product is generally stable, but there have been instances, to my knowledge, where we faced issues in the controller during software upgrades. The availability is not at the desired level during these upgrade processes, as we sometimes need to shut down both controllers. This could be an area for improvement."
"Dell PowerVault could improve by having a higher cache and file protocol support added."
"More capacity with the basic model of the AltaVault would probably help out."
"NetApp's own competing products complicate things."
"The initial setup phase of the tool was difficult."
"The solution needs faster indexing."
"I really want to partner it with the SnapCenter. We haven't implemented that yet. We're upgrading all of our stuff to the ONTAP 9, which you had to have."
"More than a 500 volume limit. At the moment, it only supports up to 500 volumes for SnapMirror and that's a problem. We've got 750, so a larger limit for volume replicas for SnapMirror."
"There are some bits it could do better. With tighter integration maybe with Veeam, or something like that, it'd be really good."
"I would like to see more web support."
