Speedy data backup with significant space savings and efficient deduplication
DD Boost has been very beneficial in enhancing our data backup processes. We perform backups with less time, and it allows for efficient on-premises recovery and restoration. We use it in conjunction with the Veeam suite. Overall, it has helped us make a big impact by allowing us to have more restore points and optimizing our storage efficiency with faster backups compared to tape backups.

A scalable solution with Veeam and Vertias alliance
I am impressed with the tool's technical alliance with Veeam and Veritas.  The product needs to improve performance while scaling out. It also needs to improve stability.  I have been using the product since seven years.  I would rate the product's stability a nine out of ten. I would rate the…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It cuts down network traffic, and only the relevant parts move around because it is deduced and encrypted."
"Operationally, we are satisfied as there have been no issues or closures to report."
"The solution can scale."
"This product's unique protocol make it superior to competing products and alternate solutions."
"DD Boost serves as a backup appliance providing data deduplication and synchronization, which accelerates processes."
"The time taken for backup is very fast."
"It's stable and reliable."
"Scalable and stable solution for backup purposes, with good encryption and huge data conversion features."
"While the challenges posed by the difficulties were significant, they prompted the replacement of problematic components, resulting in the resolution of issues. Importantly, there were no substantial ongoing concerns. Regarding the overall performance, it has been consistently excellent."
"I am impressed with the tool's technical alliance with Veeam and Veritas."
 

Cons

"The solution could improve by adding more flexibility for the customers here in Thailand. Some of the small capacity models of the solution are not needed by our customers. There should be a more flexible version of the solution."
"The solution could be faster."
"Technical support is okay but could be improved. I've sent a lot of complaints their way and I feel like they might be able to respond a bit better."
"If you are using it with Recovery Manager, there are certain limitations. If those limitations are addressed, productivity will improve."
"This product is expensive compared to other storage so the price can be improved."
"When my company faced a problem with the product, it took some time to get proper support."
"DD Boost is a bit expensive."
"I'd like the be able to deploy the solution on SAN backups."
"Perhaps the most notable area for enhancement lies in the web interface for management. The current limitations in LDAP editing capabilities are not addressed in the UI, and I haven't observed any recent updates. It's possible that the new version of the DXI service incorporates improvements in the GUI, but I cannot confirm. While there is room for improvement in the current GUI, it remains a relatively minor issue. Overall, the system is comprehensive, covering aspects such as reports on latency and networking, leaving little room for additional enhancements in those areas."
"The product needs to improve performance while scaling out. It also needs to improve stability."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is definitely competitive and unmatchable. The price of Data Domain is very attractive compared to HPE, StoreOnce, or its current alternative, which is probably more expensive."
"The cost is monthly."
"The pricing is competitive when compared to other vendors."
"DD Boost's price is good for its features."
"The solution is 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."
"We scale this product by adding licenses, which are related to capacity."
"The solution comes with a capacity license and it is a one-time purchase. There are additional costs, such as support."
"I do not oversee this aspect, as pricing is contingent on factors such as volume, technical specifications, and the desired features. Consequently, I lack information on the pricing details and structure."
