CRITICAL

“Good product, bad support”

3.0
Oct 7, 2020
Although some improvement was noticed, the support organization isn't what it used to be 4 to 5 years ago and definitely not what we expect from a company like Dell EMC. The speed by which a ticket or issue is solved largely depends on the capabilities of the support engineer; this is the same for every vendor, but unfortunately, there are only a few engineers at Dell EMC that seem to know their products and are able to assist us in an efficient way.

Dell PowerProtect Data Domain Likes & Dislikes

Like

World class deduplication and compression. Secure and easy to configure protocols. Performant instant recoveries with SSD enabled recovery.

Like

The product itself (Data Domain) has served us well and continues to do so.

Like

One of the biggest advantages that I saw is its duplication capability. It really helps reduce storage consumption, which makes a big difference when managing large volumes of backup data. Replication has also been smooth

Dislike

There is a very specific way to get the most out of the product. If you are striving for the best data compression and deduplication. This did require us to adjust our backup plan to fit the product.

Dislike

The overall technical support experience, and the fact that we lose too much time going through L1 and L2 support over and over again... our engineers are extremely capable and know the products better than 95% of the L1/L2 support engineers, which has also been confirmed by our local Dell EMC contacts, and should be able to use a 'direct line' to a L3 engineer when they need to or ask this without us having to pay for an extra support contract that does allow us to do so.

Dislike

Its initial investment is quite high , not just hardware, but also for licensing support, and potential expansion.
