"9900 has around 1.5 petabits of capacity in a single rack, and that's huge."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the integrated deduplication function."
"The deduplication feature is the most valuable part of the solution."
"Our clients like the wide range of features that are available within this single solution."
"The most valuable features of Dell EMC PowerProtect DD are the duplication security and uptime."
"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."
"Its pricing is not overly expensive."
"The initial setup was straightforward. Deployment takes about two weeks."
"The important feature is compression and duplication. It has a good compression ratio and is very stable."
"The solution's licensing policy is more practical and not confusing."
"The initial setup is one of the most user-friendly B2B user solutions. It's good, it's easy. Deployment usually takes less than one day. You only need one person for deployment and maintenance."
"I think the most valuable feature is the catalyst technology, which is in the StoreOnce appliance."
"Quick recovery."
"From a centralized system, I can manage the interface, the backup policies, and the status of the database."

"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."
"Data Domain lacks compatibility with fiber channels and tapes. We can't use it with a tape library. That's an issue in Latin America sometimes because a lot of clients still use tapes for budget reasons. Maybe they have a lot of archives. In North America and Europe, they do a lot of archiving, but they use the cloud more than we do. Sometimes we have to put together a Frankenstein where we connect another server to the tape library and send all the data there."
"The price of the product is high."
"Dell EMC Data Domain needs to have better compatibility between NetWorker and the hardware. NetWorker is not as good as the other products which are currently on the market like Backup Exec."
"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."
"It helps if you have in-depth knowledge in order to use it correctly."
"I would like to see an emphasis placed on making data deduplication and compression more powerful."
"I would like to see better integration with Veeam software."
"This product would be improved with the inclusion of more features to security or WORM."
"They could provide more options for storage capacity."
"The latency is a bit high."
"The product could be improved with better support for data protection."
"One item I wanted to see is SSD drives as a cache, and that was, for a time, still lacking in StoreOnce, however, they have done it now. It's not available yet, however, it will be shortly."
"HPE StoreOnce needs to be made cheaper than products from Dell and Veeam."
