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."
"This is a superior and reliable backup system that can handle large capacities with little management."
"I like Data Domain as a protocol for data backup."
"Deduplication and compression are the best features of the solution, which are popular and very effective."
"The deduplication feature is the most valuable part of the solution."
"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 is very stable."
"The product provides good backup and compression services."
"If you are a large organization, this is a product for you."
"I am impressed with the tool's reporting and UniView features."
"The ability to backup both physical and virtual machines, along with having an appliance store the backups locally instead of on a file server, NAS, or SAN."
"Backup/archive to multiple locations."
"It is fairly stable."
"I like the fact that you can recover the VMs inside the appliance. For example, they're basically running this appliance on a Linux-based distribution, and they're spinning off KVM virtual machines inside."
"What I found most valuable in Unitrends is its simple user interface. It also works reliably."
"I really like the reporting options you get for various email reports."
"I would like to see integration with public cloud."
"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 price could be improved."
"It could be more secure."
"The downside of PowerProtect's flexibility is that you have so many options. It can be a little confusing. It's like having a car with too many buttons on the dash. You can do so much with it, but it takes some time to learn what everything does."
"The licensing model was the biggest concern for our company, but the poor support after the initial implementation is of equal concern."
"They're scalable."
"The initial setup is complex."
"Unitrends can be challenging to scale."
"If the interface could be less complex, it is would be great."
"The ability to run just differentials without pulling the full on your archive."
"In terms of improvement, the UI, especially in the recovery section, is unclear about which repository it uses."
"I would like to see the real-time replication process improved, and a zero RPO feature added."
"Probably the biggest issue I've had is actually paying for the unit, and part of that problem is that they use a third party for the billing."
"The solution’s support and onboarding process needs to be improved."
"There are some questions as to how safely they are storing backup data."
