Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, NetApp and others in Deduplication Software."The features that I have found most valuable with Dell EMC PowerProtect DD are its deduplication feature and its DD Boost protocol for fast transfer, which is amazing."
"It is a stable solution."
"It works within backup windows and has got good deduplication."
"The deduplication feature is the most valuable part of the solution."
"Stable and scalable suite of solutions with deduplication, apart from data protection, storage, and backup."
"The stability is excellent."
"The initial setup was straightforward. Deployment takes about two weeks."
"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."
"Scalability is very good."
"NetApp Cloud Backup performance is good and they have beneficial technology."
"One feature that works well for us is that the Cloud Manager is a completely agentless solution. There's a similar dashboard on both the versions for on-premises and the cloud, and with reference to the Cloud Manager, it's a little faster because there's nothing to be installed as such. Being agentless, it doesn't require any agent to be deployed on the targets where the backups are triggered."
"They're scalable."
"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."
"The pricing could be better, but it's still not too expensive."
"They should reduce the CPC cost to customers. The product is becoming very expensive."
"I would like to see better integration and support for backing up to cloud providers such as Alibaba Cloud."
"It helps if you have in-depth knowledge in order to use it correctly."
"They still have hardware different from the software."
"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."
"One area that can be improved is around how we define the different KPIs. In particular, the business KPIs. I have my own in-house application for the business KPIs, so for example, with our policies around retention, which is a period of seven years, I have to read these parameters from other applications and I need them to integrate well."
"Integration and reporting could be improved."
"NetApp Cloud Backup could improve by being easier to use. Veeam solution is easier to use."
