Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, NetApp and others in Deduplication Software.
"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."
"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."
"Short backup window has made a difference in the way my organization functions."
"The tool's performance is very good. DD Boost can improve its performance and backup."
"Deduplication and compression are the best features of the solution, which are popular and very effective."
"Dell PowerProtect DD’s most valuable feature is data deduplication."
"Dell PowerProtect DD is a stable solution."
"Its pricing is not overly expensive."
"The scalability is very good."
"The most valuable feature of HPE StoreOnce is the virtual drive."
"HPE StoreOnce is particularly useful in situations where organizations require a backup solution to store their data. Its deduplication feature is quite impressive, providing a deduplication ratio of around 25 to 26."
"I think the most valuable feature is the catalyst technology, which is in the StoreOnce appliance."
"Deduplication is the most valuable feature."
"The product's most valuable feature is stability."
"The initial setup process is simple."
"The deduplication feature in this product is amazing."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"The licensing is not cost-effective, and the pricing could be better."
"I would like to see some kind of integration with the ransomware in the next release."
"Looking at Dell PowerProtect DD (Data Domain), there is a need for improvement, especially in terms of protection from cyber resiliency, cyber recovery, or man-in-the-middle attacks."
"Dell PowerProtect DD could improve by having better integration with other backup solutions."
"We have had deduplication and replication issues. When we used another backup software we noticed that it didn't have the same issues."
"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 tool's DD Boost is expensive."
"The price of the product is high."
"When it comes to upgrading, it always goes block-wise. One block is 48 TB raw capacity. It would be good if they can include a smaller capacity for SMB customers. Currently, it is not possible to increase in a smaller capacity. You have to buy the exact same unit. It would be great if they can provide a smaller next block. There are around 20 hard disks, and it would be really helpful if we can add 10 hard disks initially and 10 hard disks later."
"I would like to see an emphasis placed on making data deduplication and compression more powerful."
"We archive our backups on tape, so I feel like if we could somehow plug our tape drive directly into the StoreOnce device and set it up to where it would archive based on, if some kind of rules based engine or what have you, that would really be an improvement for us."
"Its customer service could be faster."
"This product would be improved with the inclusion of more features to security or WORM."
"One item I wanted to see is SSD drives as a cache, and that was, for a time, still lacking in StoreOnce, however, they have done it now. It's not available yet, however, it will be shortly."
"The solution would be improved if it could also be used as a data store for VMware."
"HPE StoreOnce should come with a detailed installation guide."
"The solution could always be more easily scalable."
