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."It is a very complete product."
"The product is very powerful and offers very good performance."
"Its stability and deduplication capabilities are most valuable."
"Avamar has long been the best in its class, but that's changing as new solutions emerge. However, Dell has traditionally been a leader in deduplication and compression. Avamar enabled us to shift data from on-premise local appliances to data centers and multi-tenant infrastructure. That's a powerful feature. because customers can back up to the cloud without upgrading o high-capacity links or congesting their backups."
"The backup and recovery speed is very fast."
"It works quickly and is very stable."
"I like Dell EMC Avamar's compression of data."
"So far, Avamar covers everything we want. We are replicating to other sites for disaster recovery, so it's working well for us."
"HPE StoreOnce is an easy-to-use tool."
"The initial setup process is simple."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its catalyst mode, along with better performance, backup, and recovery."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that the tool provides good value for somebody who needs an affordable and reliable storage solution."
"The most valuable features are the deduplication and compression capabilities."
"The important feature is compression and duplication. It has a good compression ratio and is very stable."
"I like the tool’s deduplication feature. We get a ratio of 9:1 for deduplication. The product is also Linux based. Last year, our organization faced some virus attacks. However, the backup was safe because of the product being a Linux version. HPE StoreOnce is a secure product."
"Deduplication and compression are in a good ratio. It supports the HPE Catalyst protocol, which is much faster than NFS and other protocols. We use CommVault and Veeam, and these two solutions support the Catalyst protocol very well and are integrated at high speed. It is faster than normal access."
"Compared with Cohesity or Rubrik, which have some continuous data protection for backup and replication, this solution tends to lack in this area."
"The support is very bad."
"The challenges we do face typically revolve around aligning specific features with our accustomed tool usage."
"The stability could improve, a lot of scheduled backups failed at one time."
"The licensing model is not very flexible. Every time we upgrade our storage size, we need to upgrade the Avamar license."
"It would be better if we could integrate easily with other platforms."
"Dell hasn't done a good job at handling these upgrades, or the way EMC used to handle them."
"Avamar needs a greater emphasis on storage targets. If it's going to keep pace with the times, it needs more ability to leverage cloud storage."
"The solution must provide backup options for smaller capacities."
"We're outsourced with a partner who recalls a larger amount of problems with the stability of the product."
"HPE StoreOnce should come with a detailed installation guide."
"Some high-level cybersecurity features could be achieved with some entities, and their integration could be built into the store."
"This product would be improved with the inclusion of more features to security or WORM."
"The solution would be improved if it could also be used as a data store for VMware."
"The solution could always be less expensive."
"improvement? HPE StoreOnce has a limitation with respect to controllers. Other tools offer more than one controller. I feel that the high availability of the view controller should be redundant. The tool’s control and UI part should be improved and made more advanced. The feature that helps with the manual movement of tapes should also be improved."
