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

"It's very competitive in terms of the price and technology. Also, the development team continuously makes updates. The data reduction feature is very useful."
"I like Data Domain as a protocol for data backup."
"Stable and scalable suite of solutions with deduplication, apart from data protection, storage, and backup."
"It works within backup windows and has got good deduplication."
"We personally enjoy the feature of the data protection there with Dell PowerProtect Data Domain."
"9900 has around 1.5 petabits of capacity in a single rack, and that's huge."
"It is stable. I would rate the stability of the solution a nine out of ten."
"Most cases are related to databases, such as Oracle and MySQL."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its simplicity."
 

Cons

"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 of the product is high."
"I have not observed any significant time savings, resource savings, or efficiency improvements with Dell PowerProtect Data Domain."
"The solution's cost, scalability, and licensing model could be improved."
"They're scalable."
"The product lacks some security features that would make it more stand-alone and integrated."
"Installation and deployment for this product need improvement. These processes need to made easier. Currently, it's not an easy installation for customers. This product needs to be installed by professionals."
"The licensing model was the biggest concern for our company, but the poor support after the initial implementation is of equal concern."
"Technical support needs to be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"In Naira it was twenty-five or twenty-seven million (approximately $75,000 USD) for the implementation and maintenance cost for three years."
"The price is on the high side."
"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."
"The price of the backup appliance is slightly expensive. Compared to other vendors, the pricing will be slightly higher."
"It is expensive, but the performance and deduplication cover for the cost."
"The product is expensive."
"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."
"Users have to pay a capacity-based licensing fee for the solution."
