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.
"PowerProtect is a flexible solution that you can cover various cloud and on-premise environments."
"9900 has around 1.5 petabits of capacity in a single rack, and that's huge."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the integrated deduplication function."
"Good starting capacity and scalability."
"The initial setup was straightforward. Deployment takes about two weeks."
"Data Domain is an excellent repository that's compatible with a lot of different solutions. Even Veeam Backup recommends sending backup to Data Domain. Space optimization is great. Currently, it guarantees 50-to-1 compression of the application in the same device. In all these years, I never had a client who was unsatisfied with Data Domain. It is a solid appliance with VMware integration, instant access to restore and search, and analytics."
"The feature that I have found most useful is its data duplication."
"Its pricing is not overly expensive."
"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."
"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 simple."
"The product’s data retention is very good."
"The scalability is very good."
"It results in more efficient storage utilization, cutting capital expenditure in half."
"Has very good deduplication and encryption features."
"The solution saves a lot of storage capacity."
"The only problem is that it's more expensive than any other vendors available in the market."
"The usage of this solution is a bit difficult to develop processes, and it takes a long time to market permits."
"They should reduce the CPC cost to customers. The product is becoming very expensive."
"DD doesn't have Intel's air gap technology."
"The licensing model was the biggest concern for our company, but the poor support after the initial implementation is of equal concern."
"The price could be improved."
"We would like faster instant recovery."
"The firmware upgrades could be simplified. I'm in the process of struggling to upgrade right now."
"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 product's price could be better."
"The solution's pricing could be improved."
"I would like to see better integration with Veeam software."
"The product could be improved with better support for data protection."
"The solution must provide backup options for smaller capacities."
"We're outsourced with a partner who recalls a larger amount of problems with the stability of the product."
"We archive our backups on tape, so I feel like if we could somehow plug our tape drive directly into the StoreOnce device and set it up to where it would archive based on, if some kind of rules based engine or what have you, that would really be an improvement for us."
