We performed a comparison between HPE StoreOnce and Veritas NetBackup Appliance based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."Deduplication is the most valuable feature."
"HPE StoreOnce is particularly useful in situations where organizations require a backup solution to store their data. Its deduplication feature is quite impressive, providing a deduplication ratio of around 25 to 26."
"The speed and deduplication ratio are two of the most valuable features of the solution."
"Currently, VTLs can only be created on individual service sets and cannot be used to share the resources of other nodes."
"Technical support is quite good."
"This is a user-friendly solution."
"I think the most valuable feature is the catalyst technology, which is in the StoreOnce appliance."
"From a centralized system, I can manage the interface, the backup policies, and the status of the database."
"The tool's most valuable feature is recovery."
"The tool is easy to use, stable, and performs well, but it depends on the environment where it is deployed. It is leaning more toward huge enterprises where it is positioned. It needs to be as easy as others but addresses more complex requirements."
"The reporting is very good compared to other tools."
"The documentation is okay. You are able to follow it and it is helpful."
"Veritas NetBackup Appliance is a total backup solution. We don't have to buy other applications to do it."
"It is easy to use and the performance is good."
"This is a good backup interconversion solution because all the masters and the targets backups are on the same system. It is easy to administrate for a single point of access for clients."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it can be used in many different kinds of systems."
"The product could be improved with better support for data protection."
"While StoreOnce has many features, it needs to focus on integrating with third-party backup software solutions."
"Some high-level cybersecurity features could be achieved with some entities, and their integration could be built into the store."
"When it comes to upgrading, it always goes block-wise. One block is 48 TB raw capacity. It would be good if they can include a smaller capacity for SMB customers. Currently, it is not possible to increase in a smaller capacity. You have to buy the exact same unit. It would be great if they can provide a smaller next block. There are around 20 hard disks, and it would be really helpful if we can add 10 hard disks initially and 10 hard disks later."
"They could provide more options for storage capacity."
"I would like to see better integration with Veeam software."
"I would like to see an emphasis placed on making data deduplication and compression more powerful."
"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."
"With technical support, it feels like they aren't well trained and it takes forever to get answers out of them."
"The tool's pricing is expensive and could be lower."
"It is not easy because I have worked a lot on the tool, and in case it gets corrupted at any point, it is not easy to restore the data without losing information is not easy."
"The scalability could be improved."
"The only drawback for NetBackup, and of course for Veritas, is that they have stuck to the same environment and to the same UI - User Interface. This needs to be improved in future releases. It needs to be more dynamic."
"I would like to see support for databases such as MySQL and MongoDB."
"They could simplify the process of installing, and provide more space for data during the process."
"In terms of implementing the solution, it's quite technical. You need to be knowledgable in order to pull off a successful deployment."
