You don't have to pay additional costs.

The cost should be improved. The solution is expensive.

We'd like them to lower the pricing. It could be cheaper in price even though they are quite moderate. They need to modernize their approach to licensing. The issue is there aren't too many competitors when it comes to deduplication. I can't speak to the exact cost of the product.

I do not know details about the financials, but they give us very good deals and are open to negotiation regarding their products and our company size. They can work our ELAs for our environment and bundles, which gives us a better overall deal than if we bought only one or two products. I rate the pricing a four out of ten, with one being not expensive and ten being very expensive.

Dell EMC Data Domain Boost is an expensive product. There are extra costs for support because every year, you have to renew your SLA for support, and the cost is always increasing.

The solution comes with a capacity license and it is a one-time purchase. There are additional costs, such as support.

DD Boost comes built into DD or Avamar. However, to use DD Boost for enterprise is a separate license. For example, if you have Oracle, Linux, or Unix and you need to install DD Boost for Arman, then you need a separate license. Typically when you purchase the solution it is bundled and you either purchase a one or three-year license. The price for the solution is expensive but when comparing it to other solutions it is reasonably priced. However, the price could still be cheaper.

We have licenses that last five years. After that, we may get new devices. We tend to get a big discount with our licensing once we choose to upgrade. The pricing is not bad.

I think it is important that Dell reconsider the pricing. I don't know what we pay off-hand, but I do know that the pricing is high compared with other competing products.

The price of this solution is very high.

DD Boost software delivers an advanced level of integration with backup applications and data base utilities, enhancing performance and ease of use. Dell also provides a DD Boost File System Plug-In (BoostFS) with DD Boost for even greater application support, which enables all the benefits of DD Boost for applications that use NFS for data protection. Rather than sending all data to the system for deduplication processes, DD Boost enables the backup server or application client to send only...
