Provides backups, including long-term retention with increased uptime and compatibility
I was looking for a virtual edition, and that is now available. Many customers struggle to find a solution for ransomware protection, but we can set up an enterprise recovery vault for that purpose. These features are now part of Dell's overall offering. The solution has matured, and while I don't criticize technology, most of our technical and business requirements are met with the Data Domain storage solution. We can meet customer requirements easily with Data Domain. Some feedback has been received from our operations team. There’s always room for improvement. For instance, there may be suggestions regarding enhancements to the reporting dashboard

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.

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

Pros

"As our organization functions, we have a total of 2500+ primary sites and 6300+ secondary sites. All of our entire backup systems are totally dependent on this product. EMC Data Domain is very reliable and there are no issues using it since 2015."
"We are very satisfied with this solution. It's easy to use and efficient."
"Dell is more stable than any other device."
"The most important feature is the level of data compression provided by Dell EMC. It's a leader in data compression and deduplication, and the level of compression isn't available with any other vendors in the market."
"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"
"The most valuable features of Dell EMC PowerProtect DD are the duplication security and uptime."
"The compatibility within the Dell PowerProtect DD portfolio makes data management more seamless. This integrated solution improves efficiency in our data center and simplifies operations by relying on a single company for servers and storage."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its simplicity."
 

Cons

"The only problem is that it's more expensive than any other vendors available in the market."
"It helps if you have in-depth knowledge in order to use it correctly."
"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."
"I would like to see integration with public cloud."
"The firmware upgrades could be simplified. I'm in the process of struggling to upgrade right now."
"The pricing could be better, but it's still not too expensive."
"If we lose the admin password, Dell always asks for separate charges."
"The solution's cost, scalability, and licensing model could be improved."
"Technical support needs to be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We usually buy products at the end year, and the license is included."
"The yearly subscription is very affordable for our customers, but the price could be a little cheaper overall."
"Dell PowerProtect DD's pricing is expensive, and there is no option for perpetual licensing."
"Becoming more expensive."
"The pricing is cost-effective for the solution"
"The solution is expensive. However, if you pay less you receive less, it is cost-effective."
"Users have to pay a capacity-based licensing fee for the solution."
"If we do not move to the cloud solution and stay with our on-premise version we will miss some new features."
