We performed a comparison between DD Boost and HPE StoreOnce 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."Data Domain Boost has a unique protocol. I don't think with other vendors you get the same efficiency. I work with some the other products, but this solution has amazing efficiency in comparison."
"The traditional storage node and VPN setups are still viable options, but DD Boost offers a premium option with additional advantages. If available, adopting DD Boost can be a good choice."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is deduplication."
"The solution is very easy to manage. That's its most valuable feature."
"The solution is very good because it is easy to use and it speeds up the backup and lowers the requirement for the storage rate. It is capable of encryption, compression, and deduplication and it is fast for sending all of the data over the network because it sends only the change blocks from the client to the DD server."
"The dependable protocol and stability of DD Boost are its most valuable characteristics. We encountered no connectivity issues when connecting the backup appliance to DD Boost, and we received no customer complaints about this aspect. Primarily, the smooth communication and connectivity between the server and storage were the main strengths."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it can support both the CIFS and NFS protocols simultaneously."
"Data Domain is valuable, especially to restore data. For normal data, the restore from Data Domain is very efficient and fast."
"The product’s data retention is very good."
"I think the most valuable feature is the catalyst technology, which is in the StoreOnce appliance."
"HPE StoreOnce has high performance."
"The scalability is very good."
"The important feature is compression and duplication. It has a good compression ratio and is very stable."
"The initial setup process is simple."
"The solution's licensing policy is more practical and not confusing."
"The deduplication feature in this product is amazing."
"The experience of restoring VMware or Veeam Backup is difficult, when the backup you are using is a solution for backup, which is already having a deduplication. When you try to restore from Data Domain, it doesn't work perfectly, because Data Domain is already having a deduplication as well."
"It would be good if the product could be useful not just for general backup. Its pricing is also expensive, and it can be a difficult application, particularly when you need to write a script for anything you would like to do."
"The solution must provide better deduplication."
"The multi-tier functionality can be improved, but it is quite good. They could improve replication and perhaps support additional sharing network protocols. I would also like to see better implementation of NFS Version 3, but it is already implemented and quite usable as it is."
"This product is expensive compared to other storage so the price can be improved."
"The solution needs to be more user-friendly for the end-users."
"It should be expanded to include other databases and software. It should also be made easier to restore."
"Technical support is okay but could be improved. I've sent a lot of complaints their way and I feel like they might be able to respond a bit better."
"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 user interface of HPE StoreOnce should be more user-friendly. Additionally, the configuration and troubleshooting 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 solution's pricing could be improved."
"The platform's price could be lower."
"Agnostic backups."
"The web interface, ease of use, and GUI all need to be improved."
