Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, NetApp and others in Deduplication Software."It is very easy to expand disks and manage CIFS."
"It is very flexible. It integrates well with the public cloud and other components, so everything can be API driven. Therefore, it is very easy to automate it."
"It offers data compression and people management."
"The solution has tiers inside which means we do not only need to use SSDs."
"The SnapMirror is a good tool because, as long as you're going NetApp to NetApp, it's ultimately the fastest way to move data. We replicate everything to another site for disaster recovery."
"It allows our Windows and Unix teams to have a centralized point to share data between the two."
"Has rock solid reliability and is easy to use."
"The tool's most valuable features are ease of use, ease of access, expandability, availability, and performance. NVMe drives have improved their performance."
"The most valuable feature of Veritas NetBackup is the protection policies or protection module."
"AIR and duplication, overall management and troubleshooting."
"We can easily expand the ability of the solution."
"I have found it to be the simplest solution to the market. It gives us a complete end to end solution. We are using this solution, Veritas Appliance and another one for access archiving. It is convenient to have all the support from one vendor."
"I like NetBackup's accelerator feature. You can take a full backup with incremental speed and integrate it with block tracking."
"The backup and restore features are helpful."
"Veritas NetBackup Automatic Image Replication and CloudCatalyst features allow me to replicate deduped backup images from one site to a remote site, as well as duplicating deduped images to the Cloud (i.e. AWS S3, etc.)"
"Unauthorized people cannot log in and execute commands."
"Needs to add wizards for newer, inexperienced users."
"Its operating system is very cumbersome. However, after you set it up, it runs pretty smoothly. Its file system is not very dynamic. It is very static."
"Installation of the additional switches and ETP could be improved."
"The one aspect of the solution that's negative for us is also more unique to us due to the fact that we did a MetroCluster. The tiebreaker piece that does the monitoring of the two different locations, and determines if one is not talking to the network normally (or if it's truly down) is a little difficult. It feels like it was not designed from the beginning to fit well into the other pieces. It feels like it was thrown in at the last minute and it is not smooth."
"The solution's configuration is not flexible."
"Cost is always a factor. Some people choose EMC or Dell because they perceive NetApp as being more expensive."
"The product should improve its user experience."
"Needs to improve the adaptive storage quality of service."
"GUI needs to be more user-friendly."
"The solution costs too much."
"Support for the solution needs improvement."
"The implementation process could be simplified to make it quicker."
"The virtual environment, cloud integration, copy data management features need improvement."
"It's not a user-friendly solution. It's a little bit complicated. The UI is not very friendly."
"We want a solution that can be scaled-out because our data is growing very quickly, and we aren't able to back it up quickly. It takes one or two days, which is a problem. It is very slow. We just use one backup server. We want another solution with maybe a backup server cluster to back up more data in one day. We want a solution that can be scaled-out to back up our data quickly and efficiently."
"This product would be improved with the inclusion of a Sandbox feature like Veeam Sandbox."
