"We are very satisfied with this solution. It's easy to use and efficient."
"I like Data Domain as a protocol for data backup."
"The backup is very secure. The deduplication using EMC is very good. We are able to make systems and handle random cloning. EMC is a very stable solution for making backups."
"It is a stable solution."
"Deduplication is the most valuable feature as it reduces the backup time and provides backup of a single copy of data"
"It has a very good user interface."
"DLO: Client for laptops."
"The most valuable feature is flexibility."

"The backup and restoration are 100 percent guaranteed."
"It helps if you have in-depth knowledge in order to use it correctly."
"They're scalable."
"The pricing model needs to be improved."
"When you use Data Domain, you have to have at least 20% free space so it can work properly. Sometimes we struggle with that, because we wanted to use all the free space, but then Data Domain becomes really slow. I understand that 20% is needed to process all the data, and doing the duplication and compression and all that, but it would be a big improvement if they did not require that 20%, because it is just too much to have available."
"The price of the product is high."
"The pricing could be lower."
"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."
"DD doesn't have Intel's air gap technology."
"The solution could have a more clear dashboard about the license and the operation status."
"Improvements can be made to the service by providing better and more competitive ratios on data backups. The functionality for backups is there with Veritas, but I would like to see them optimize and enhance this feature more."
"The solution could improve by having a feature to backup iSeries workloads."
"The most common problem is the backup failures over the weekend. We have to troubleshoot and sometimes do restores and then we have trouble doing some of the restores."
"The solution costs too much."
"I would advise not to use this tool. I think between the licensing issues and the older solution mentality it is not a great solution."
"It's not a user-friendly solution. It's a little bit complicated. The UI is not very friendly."
"Support for the solution needs improvement."
