We performed a comparison between HPE StoreOnce and IBM Spectrum Protect based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, NetApp and others in Deduplication Software."The initial setup is simple."
"The valuable feature is the ability to work with the Veeam software to reduce the backup windows."
"This is a user-friendly solution."
"The implementation is straightforward."
"Technical support is quite good."
"The speed and deduplication ratio are two of the most valuable features of the solution."
"The initial setup is one of the most user-friendly B2B user solutions. It's good, it's easy. Deployment usually takes less than one day. You only need one person for deployment and maintenance."
"From a centralized system, I can manage the interface, the backup policies, and the status of the database."
"It has a lot more capabilities and functions than a lot of other products. Even though it is more complex, the reason is because it gives you a lot more features. This is what I prefer, especially for a long retention."
"IBM Spectrum Protect offers stable software and products."
"The amount of data that it protects with very little storage by doing incremental forever is one of its most valuable features."
"It has increased our security, scalability, and high availability."
"Every time we go and try to get a file, we can get it. Restores are quick and the data is always there."
"It integrates well with Spectrum Scale."
"Its incremental forever approach is valuable, so we don't have to load tapes to do a restore."
"The MN backup for a cluster is most valuable because it has made backing up the GSF as a zero-file system easier. I like its stability a lot. Over the years, I very rarely had a problem with it."
"Its customer service could be faster."
"The appliance doesn't have the global deduplication, it has StoreOnce deduplication. It does not deduplicate across the appliance, it will deduplicate in one particular store. With the global deduplication, I could store more data."
"The web interface, ease of use, and GUI all need to be improved."
"I would like to see an emphasis placed on making data deduplication and compression more powerful."
"Cloud integration needs to be simplified."
"HPE StoreOnce could improve the capacity support."
"The solution's pricing could be improved."
"We would like to see some improvements in the Veeam Backup & Replication integration. It's good, but it has a lot of room to improve. In particular around the inability to easily move data between StoreOnce appliances."
"We should be talking about the capacity of the tape drives. That's the only problem."
"Probably educating the virtual group who are not as used to the product. Most of our expertise is with AIX servers and virtual server backups."
"The interface could be more user-friendly."
"Getting technical support all the necessary diagnostic information is still very painful."
"This product should be more user-friendly for newcomers."
"I am looking forward to new features in the next release. One of the main features is the cloud storage integration, which was one of my main required features. I've had more difficult experiences with other platforms than with this one."
"The only thing that I would like to have a little more of is insight in reporting. I find that Spectrum Protect needs a lot of monitoring, and I have to actually log into the servers."
"I want a better user interface, support, and integrations."
