Comparison Results: PowerProtect DD is the winner in this comparison. It is powerful and secure with a proven ROI. StoreOnce does come out on top in the ease of deployment category, however.
"I like the different features. We work closely with Dell on different products and features, which is why we use them all."
"Our clients like the wide range of features that are available within this single solution."
"It is stable. I would rate the stability of the solution a nine out of ten."
"The most important feature is the level of data compression provided by Dell EMC. It's a leader in data compression and deduplication, and the level of compression isn't available with any other vendors in the market."
"The product provides good backup and compression services."
"We have found the product to be scalable."
"The compression aspect of the solution is great."
"The initial setup was straightforward. Deployment takes about two weeks."
"It results in more efficient storage utilization, cutting capital expenditure in half."
"HPE StoreOnce has high performance."
"I like the tool’s deduplication feature. We get a ratio of 9:1 for deduplication. The product is also Linux based. Last year, our organization faced some virus attacks. However, the backup was safe because of the product being a Linux version. HPE StoreOnce is a secure product."
"Deduplication and compression are in a good ratio. It supports the HPE Catalyst protocol, which is much faster than NFS and other protocols. We use CommVault and Veeam, and these two solutions support the Catalyst protocol very well and are integrated at high speed. It is faster than normal access."
"It's easy to backup data, manage. A"
"Catalyst backup is used to back up Oracle databases, and provides very good throughput during backups."
"If you have a large enough storage capacity then you can take an ample amount of data."
"Currently, VTLs can only be created on individual service sets and cannot be used to share the resources of other nodes."
"I would like to see integration with public cloud."
"Dell PowerProtect DD could improve by having better integration with other backup solutions."
"DD Boost."
"It helps if you have in-depth knowledge in order to use it correctly."
"The pricing could be lower."
"The size and scale of the product are limited and could be improved."
"The usage of this solution is a bit difficult to develop processes, and it takes a long time to market permits."
"It could be more secure."
"HPE StoreOnce should come with a detailed installation guide."
"The repository should have an extension to connect to the cloud and deposit the backups."
"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."
"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 solution's technical support should be faster."
"While StoreOnce has many features, it needs to focus on integrating with third-party backup software solutions."
"I would like to see an emphasis placed on making data deduplication and compression more powerful."
"HPE StoreOnce needs to provide a SaaS solution by offering high-density disks."
