Faisal_Zia - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers efficient data management with robust features and reliable performance
Dell PowerProtect DD (Data Domain) can be improved in terms of price. While Dell is providing a proper device, other solutions, such as Symantec, can replicate their data through any NAS storage. Although their deduplication and compression might not be as effective, they can still accomplish the task. Medium-level and SME-level businesses can easily utilize this feature, but Dell PowerProtect DD (Data Domain) is a relatively expensive solution to propose to customers.
SergiCastromil - PeerSpot reviewer
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 works within backup windows and has got good deduplication."
"Short backup window has made a difference in the way my organization functions."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the integrated deduplication function."
"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 licensing model is the most valuable aspect of Dell PowerProtect DD"
"It is stable. I would rate the stability of the solution a nine out of ten."
"The most valuable features of this product are its guaranteed reliability and its duplication capability."
"The hardware can operate in high temperatures, in case of any disaster."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its simplicity."
 

Cons

"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."
"PowerProtect DD should improve the hypervisor support on the DD system."
"The size and scale of the product are limited and could be improved."
"I would like to see integration with public cloud."
"The software from Dell that can be used to operate Data Domain needs to have enhancements made to the user interface. It is too complex."
"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."
"We would like faster instant recovery."
"The initial setup is complex."
"Technical support needs to be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is cost-effective for the solution"
"Pricing is related to size. A lower range solution might be about $33,000. My customers use higher range versions with a price of around $100,000. That's the price for both the hardware and software."
"The price of the backup appliance is slightly expensive. Compared to other vendors, the pricing will be slightly higher."
"On a scale where one represents high price, and ten represents low price, I rate the solution a five, which means that the solution is of medium pricing."
"The yearly subscription is very affordable for our customers, but the price could be a little cheaper overall."
"It is expensive, but the performance and deduplication cover for the cost."
"We usually buy products at the end year, and the license is included."
"The product is expensive."
