Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, NetApp and others in Deduplication Software."This is a superior and reliable backup system that can handle large capacities with little management."
"The initial setup was straightforward. Deployment takes about two weeks."
"The hardware can operate in high temperatures, in case of any disaster."
"Deduplication and compression are the best features of the solution, which are popular and very effective."
"It is a stable solution."
"PowerProtect is a flexible solution that you can cover various cloud and on-premise environments."
"The tool's performance is very good. DD Boost can improve its performance and backup."
"It is stable. I would rate the stability of the solution a nine out of ten."
"It saves time for the backup needs of our organization."
"I like NetBackup's anomaly detection and Linux storage features."
"It is essential. We can't do without it."
"We were able to witness the benefits of using the solution within weeks of using it."
"The solution is easy to scale."
"The Dedup and file storage is great."
"We believe that everything Veritas NetBackup offers, including backups, snapshots, deduplication, and replication, is valuable."
"Disaster recovery primarily involves backup usage. We employ it for both backup and recovery purposes. The backup and recovery processes have been executed multiple times, even restoring data from backups created three to four years ago."
"When you use Data Domain, you have to have at least 20% free space so it can work properly. Sometimes we struggle with that, because we wanted to use all the free space, but then Data Domain becomes really slow. I understand that 20% is needed to process all the data, and doing the duplication and compression and all that, but it would be a big improvement if they did not require that 20%, because it is just too much to have available."
"We would like faster instant recovery."
"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."
"It helps if you have in-depth knowledge in order to use it correctly."
"The only problem is that it's more expensive than any other vendors available in the market."
"Its management can be improved."
"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."
"EMC is very expensive for small customers."
"Support for the solution needs improvement."
"The product must enable data migration from on-premise to the cloud."
"We are facing a challenge regarding the support for Docker and Kubernetes features. We hope for the possibility of directly backing up Kubernetes and Docker images without the necessity of taking full virtual machine backups."
"It gets a lot of new features, but improvements in basic functionality are often sacrificed for a shiny new bullet point to put on sales presentations."
"The solution is quite expensive."
"The product needs to improve its GUI. It needs to make use of a web interface."
"I would advise not to use this tool. I think between the licensing issues and the older solution mentality it is not a great solution."
"The solution could improve by having a feature to backup iSeries workloads."
