Storage Engineer at Comtrade Group
Provides seamless backup integration and long-term reliability for enterprise data protection
The price is quite high; this product is not considered cheap. Additionally, if you use higher availability boxes, they also come at a premium price. However, they provide business continuity, which is the main reason why companies invest in this solution. Tape is slow; when restoring several virtual machines or databases amounting to several terabytes, Dell PowerProtect Data Domain represents the fastest and most reliable solution, ensuring great integration with backup software. If a customer has limited budget constraints, they may opt for cheaper external storage comprised of just a bunch of disks and utilize it for backup, as backup is not a business-critical service. However, I see great value in Dell PowerProtect Data Domain because it is fully automated, features great integration with backup software, and provides good value for money. I would rate software support as a ten, while I would give hardware support a seven. I never give any product a perfect score; I think Dell PowerProtect Data Domain deserves a nine. The only minor problems are the certificate issue and the price. These certificate issues are quite rare and mainly arise when we forget to restart and upgrade the box for several years.

Simple to use, but the web interface needs to be improved
Imagine that you have two customers writing data to your appliance. You have two repositories, each one for each customer. If you need to know the real space used for each of them, you can't. Using the graphics and data that the appliance gives to you you are able to visualize how much space it is used on the system, as a global. There're other solutions that actually are able to do so. That's the most important thing that I miss. On another hand, I would like to see the web platform improved because it is a little bit confusing. There are options behind more and more options. If you try to get data about the performance, or research space, then it is confusing. Basically, anything to make things more clear for the user would be an improvement. And, as important as the first thing I said, technical support needs to be improved, at least in Spain.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Stable and scalable suite of solutions with deduplication, apart from data protection, storage, and backup."
"It's very easy to use the domain once it's been set up. The interface is also user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature of Dell PowerProtect DD (Data Domain) is its deduplication capability."
"Our clients like the wide range of features that are available within this single solution."
"Good starting capacity and scalability."
"The solution is stable, very reliable, and designed for what they call 99.999% uptime, which is less than an hour a year of downtime."
"It's very easy to use Data Domain once it's been set up, and the interface is also user-friendly."
"Fast backup for complex and huge size data."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its simplicity."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its simplicity."
 

Cons

"One of the areas we are looking at is interconnects for Dell PowerProtect Data Domain."
"They should reduce the CPC cost to customers. The product is becoming very expensive."
"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."
"The price is quite high; this product is not considered cheap."
"It can be complex to implement."
"In some of the entry level models (DD2200, 2500) you have to be aware of the scalability limitations and ensure you purchase a large enough controller if you foresee growth and scaling beyond its recommended operating parameters as typically the controllers cannot be upgraded in place or without data migration."
"From a pricing perspective, it is quite high and very costly compared to other storage or backup solutions."
"Improvement is needed in terms of telemetry and high availability as the high availability feature is only present in the higher models of Dell PowerProtect DD (Data Domain)."
"Technical support needs to be improved."
"I have been in touch with Fujitsu technical support and this is the bad part of the solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is expensive."
"The yearly subscription is very affordable for our customers, but the price could be a little cheaper overall."
"This is one of the more expensive backup solutions on the market."
"The price may be a bit higher than other products in the market, but you will receive ten out of ten support with next-business-day delivery on parts' availability."
"We usually buy products at the end year, and the license is included."
"Pricing for this product could still be improved, though several years ago, its price was very high. When buying an IDPA product such as Dell EMC PowerProtect DD (Data Domain), you don't have to buy anything else, because you'll have an integrated solution: a data domain appliance plus software."
"The cheaper device costs around $70,000."
"In Naira it was twenty-five or twenty-seven million (approximately $75,000 USD) for the implementation and maintenance cost for three years."
