"The software from Dell that can be used to operate Data Domain needs to have enhancements made to the user interface. It is too complex."
"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."
"Data Domain lacks compatibility with fiber channels and tapes. We can't use it with a tape library. That's an issue in Latin America sometimes because a lot of clients still use tapes for budget reasons. Maybe they have a lot of archives. In North America and Europe, they do a lot of archiving, but they use the cloud more than we do. Sometimes we have to put together a Frankenstein where we connect another server to the tape library and send all the data there."
"It can probably have integration with other OEMs. It should also have more features for ransomware protection."
"The licensing is not cost-effective, and the pricing could be better."
"The pricing could be better, but it's still not too expensive."

"It could be more flexible in terms of configuration."
"The only downside is in ease in management; it is not easy to use."
"When getting new hardware, always tell the account manager that you are also considering other brands. They will be forced to adjust the price lower."
"The AutoSupport could be improved to be more proactive in certain cases."
"Cluster mode needs to be more ubiquitous."
"The solution could always be more easily scalable."
