We performed a comparison between Dell PowerProtect DD (Data Domain) and NetApp Cloud Backup based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Deduplication Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"I find the data to be most valuable."
"The product provides good backup and compression services."
"The solution can scale up to one petabyte right now. It's very good for enterprise-level organizations."
"The compression aspect of the solution is great."
"Dell PowerProtect DD’s most valuable feature is data deduplication."
"The product, a disk backup solution, improves our data application tasks. We used tape libraries with Dev drives in legacy architectures, resulting in slow backups compared to modern drives like NVMe and SSDs. By transitioning to NVMe and SSDs, backups have become much faster. The tool's backup restoration is faster compared to other tools."
"The most valuable feature is the inline data deduplication."
"Scalability is very good."
"One feature that works well for us is that the Cloud Manager is a completely agentless solution. There's a similar dashboard on both the versions for on-premises and the cloud, and with reference to the Cloud Manager, it's a little faster because there's nothing to be installed as such. Being agentless, it doesn't require any agent to be deployed on the targets where the backups are triggered."
"NetApp Cloud Backup performance is good and they have beneficial technology."
"Dell PowerProtect DD does not have integration with the cloud and virtualization software."
"The only problem is that it's more expensive than any other vendors available in the market."
"The tool's DD Boost is expensive."
"Dell PowerProtect DD could improve by having better integration with other backup solutions."
"We would like faster instant recovery."
"They need to make migration easier."
"They're scalable."
"They still have hardware different from the software."
"NetApp Cloud Backup could improve by being easier to use. Veeam solution is easier to use."
"One area that can be improved is around how we define the different KPIs. In particular, the business KPIs. I have my own in-house application for the business KPIs, so for example, with our policies around retention, which is a period of seven years, I have to read these parameters from other applications and I need them to integrate well."
"Integration and reporting could be improved."
