Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, NetApp and others in Deduplication Software."Deduplication is the most valuable feature."
"The deduplication feature in this product is amazing."
"It results in more efficient storage utilization, cutting capital expenditure in half."
"The hardware is strong and all the equipment has a good infrastructure. Personally, I think it's the best storage product in HPE for small to medium-sized businesses."
"The interface is very user-friendly."
"The scalability is very good."
"The initial setup is simple."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its catalyst mode, along with better performance, backup, and recovery."
"What I like about Rubrik is that you can back up to the cloud. It is a different kind of backup where you're not archiving the tape. Rubrik is a physical appliance. It is a dedicated appliance to which you can back up, and you can also back up to another device. So, you can back up to Rubrik and then to another device. If you have more than one site, you can set up Rubrik on site A and also on site B. You can back up to the Rubrik on site A and then replicate that data to the Rubrik on site B."
"Rubrik has made the process to manage backup and recovery painless. This frees up more time to work on other projects."
"Not having to specify a time to run a backup with a fixed schedule is something that's really beneficial. In the past we had to schedule and try to manually stagger things over the window, to back up everything. Because Rubrik is SLA-based, you say, "Well, I need it to fit in this window here," and it just backs it up when it's most convenient for the Brik and for the third-party system. It looks at the CPU usage and says, "Okay, it's not as busy now. I know I've got time to take the backup." That's a real advantage."
"Rubrik is highly scalable and is easy to do."
"Instant recovery is a good feature."
"The archiving, off-of-box, is awesome. It lets you put your data where you want it and gives you the peace of mind of having more than one copy of it. And it's smart about the way that it does the archiving. It doesn't just copy one-for-one. It does all of its processing of the deduplication and compression before it sends it off to the archive, which helps with our cloud costs."
"It is easy to deploy."
"The live mount reduces complexity."
"I would like to see better integration with Veeam software."
"Hardware maintenance involves some downtime for backup destination storage which can be a problem for some."
"HPE should have more options so customers can choose from a wide range of products with small to big capacities."
"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."
"HPE StoreOnce should come with a detailed installation guide."
"They could provide more options for storage capacity."
"I don't see any new features that we could want or anything that could be done along those lines. Just that we need a bigger machine, so more speed."
"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."
"I would love to be able to just get from the dashboard to a file that I need, or a system that I need."
"The only thing that can be improved is catering for open source databases because at the moment it doesn't cater for Mongo, MySQL, and Postgres."
"It needs more storage array integration options and an easier restore for files that download using a browser."
"It is an expensive product."
"If I could take a snapshot from a physical and be able to stand it up as a virtual immediately without the need to rebuild an entire system and restoring files, that would be HUGE."
"There are some corner cases where the Rubrik Connector (Agent) still doesn't work for our clients."
"It would be nice if they could work on the pricing a bit."
"A singular system is needed to manage all of the clusters."
