Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, NetApp and others in Deduplication Software."HPE StoreOnce has high performance."
"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."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its catalyst mode, along with better performance, backup, and recovery."
"The most valuable feature of HPE StoreOnce is the virtual drive."
"The product’s data retention is very good."
"We also really benefit from the GUI capabilities."
"HPE StoreOnce works well, it is stable."
"It results in more efficient storage utilization, cutting capital expenditure in half."
"Veritas is simple and easy to deploy. In terms of the presentation and UI, they do their job well."
"It is a good overall suite of products."
"I have not seen another backup solution as scalable as this one."
"The solution is very fast. It does not take a long time to backup everything."
"The most important feature is the variety of backup applications it supports, including ERP systems and most other programs, such as Microsoft."
"It has good stability. Its interface is very good, responsive, and easy for restoring data. I use it for backup, encryption, and restore operations, and it works. I am using many agents from VM to LMDP. I also use an agent for SQL Server, which has advanced options because it is the Enterprise version."
"Recovery via Active Directory is painless and much easier than the complicated setup procedures of other products."
"Once the solution is integrated with the Exchange, you just click Exchange to back up that file."
"The product's price could be better."
"HPE StoreOnce Backup to Disk (BTD) is not a good backup solution for NAS devices. It does not have a dual controller, so if one controller fails, the entire system will go down."
"The product could be improved with better support for data protection."
"Hardware maintenance involves some downtime for backup destination storage which can be a problem for some."
"Some high-level cybersecurity features could be achieved with some entities, and their integration could be built into the store."
"Cloud integration needs to be simplified."
"I would like to see an emphasis placed on making data deduplication and compression more powerful."
"One item I wanted to see is SSD drives as a cache, and that was, for a time, still lacking in StoreOnce, however, they have done it now. It's not available yet, however, it will be shortly."
"It doesn't support the AIX platform."
"The reports could be made in an easier way."
"I would like to see this solution improve on faster restoration. Currently, it takes a long time to restore my data."
"It could be improved in the area of reporting and ease-of-use."
"Veritas Backup Exec's support services could be faster."
"Enhanced support for cloud backup needs to be added."
"The one thing which could be improved, which we have informed Veritas about, is the ability to plug in to the cloud. Meaning, instead of using local storage if we're backing up a small user or end user, we want to be able to make it so they can direct the backups directly to the cloud. It can't be done at the moment. We can only back up to the storage then replicate to the cloud, but we cannot use the cloud as a source of storage."
"I would like to be able to create a restore task that can be scheduled so that the same restore action will be performed automatically."
