Its simplicity and bit rate are also valuable. It takes less time if we compare it with the old solution that we have."
"Stable and scalable suite of solutions with deduplication, apart from data protection, storage, and backup."
"The tool's performance is very good. DD Boost can improve its performance and backup."
"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 solution can scale up to one petabyte right now. It's very good for enterprise-level organizations."
"I like Data Domain as a protocol for data backup."
"The hardware can operate in high temperatures, in case of any disaster."
"It is stable. I would rate the stability of the solution a nine out of ten."
"It has reduced our backup time and simplified our backup processes across all the servers."
"The compression, because it drastically reduces the disk space."
"Its management can be improved."
"DD Boost."
"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."
"Technical support needs improvement."
"Dell PowerProtect DD (Data Domain) is expensive. Also, it has a sort of a big physical footprint that data domains have, and that's part of the problem."
"The licensing is not cost-effective, and the pricing could be better."
"Dell EMC Data Domain needs to have better compatibility between NetWorker and the hardware. NetWorker is not as good as the other products which are currently on the market like Backup Exec."
"The licensing model was the biggest concern for our company, but the poor support after the initial implementation is of equal concern."
"Make sure you check your backups on a regular basis. Backups do get missed with this tool, for whatever reason."
"I would like to see the pieces that they have put in the web only to be put into the thick client sitting on the desktop client."
"The way the filtering goes, if you filter on your view, there is no indication that you have made a selection."
