We performed a comparison between Commvault Cloud and HPE StoreOnce based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."It provides us a good holistic view of everything that we have backed up so far. It also provides us all the recovery points. If we look at an an object that has been backed up, we can tell how many retention copies it has, how far we can go, and recover any data, if needed."
"Metallic helped me to restore the data within an hour, which is much faster than restoring from Microsoft services."
"Whoever has an Endpoint license can store unlimited data on the cloud."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to backup over the dedicated Fiber Channel directly from SAN."
"The solution is scalable."
"The product's stability is good enough."
"It helped us reduce the number of servers that are required for a stable operation."
"It is a scalable solution."
"HPE StoreOnce has high performance."
"Currently, VTLs can only be created on individual service sets and cannot be used to share the resources of other nodes."
"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."
"The solution is stable."
"The important feature is compression and duplication. It has a good compression ratio and is very stable."
"I'm impressed with their support structure, call availability, understanding, flexibility in scheduling remote sessions, and accommodating customer timeframes."
"The solution's licensing policy is more practical and not confusing."
"Technical support is quite good."
"Bare-metal restore needs some work. It's not intuitive and seems to have been an afterthought."
"The speed of the Office 365 Backup & Recovery feature is adequate. Microsoft controls the amount of bandwidth that people have when they're using Azure and the O365 environment... If they could work out something with Microsoft to improve the speed, that would help."
"It does not have an easy deployment. The deployment is not something that just anybody can go in and deploy."
"The most common feedback I get in terms of Commvault is that it can be complex. I always refer my customers back to their own environment. Almost everything that goes into Commvault is a request by a customer. While it can be complex, it can also be very simple. You just need to understand your environment in order to make sure that you really need to turn on that extra feature or thing inside of Commvault. Maybe you don't need those things. It really depends on how simple or complex your environment is, whether you need all of Commvault's features."
"They can improve the VMware recovery and VMware backup. There is an improvement area on the VMware infrastructure. They can make available what they call a VSA proxy. They can have an appliance-type setup to deploy VSA backups and help recover quicker. They can have an appliance ready. Instead of having to have a server dedicated to that and installing software on a server, they can just provide an actual appliance for that."
"There are many settings that have to be done on your own. It would benefit from a better interface."
"The solution requires improvement with its connection and bandwidth."
"For simpler environments, they have some templates for startups. Possibly for a smaller environment, they need to do more automatic configuration and selections of users who want to do backups. This is mainly for smaller environments. I would like them to have the same system fit for all environments: small and big environments. Currently, we have to do a lot of configuration of the layout, which takes time. This solution is appropriate for enterprise-level enterprise, but I would like it to be easier to use for SMB environments."
"The repository should have an extension to connect to the cloud and deposit the backups."
"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."
"The platform's price could be lower."
"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 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 user interface of HPE StoreOnce is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The setup phase is not so simple that an end user can plug and play to make it operational."
"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."
