"It is very fast as compared to the other competitors. Its simplicity and bit rate are also valuable. It takes less time if we compare it with the old solution that we have."
"I find the data to be most valuable."
"Dell PowerProtect DD’s most valuable feature is data deduplication."
"Stable and scalable suite of solutions with deduplication, apart from data protection, storage, and backup."
"The features that I have found most valuable with Dell EMC PowerProtect DD are its deduplication feature and its DD Boost protocol for fast transfer, which is amazing."
"The most valuable features of Dell PowerProtect DD are ease of use and deduplication."
"The initial setup was straightforward. Deployment takes about two weeks."
"The product, a disk backup solution, improves our data application tasks. We used tape libraries with Dev drives in legacy architectures, resulting in slow backups compared to modern drives like NVMe and SSDs. By transitioning to NVMe and SSDs, backups have become much faster. The tool's backup restoration is faster compared to other tools."
"I think the most valuable feature is the catalyst technology, which is in the StoreOnce appliance."
"The product's most valuable feature is stability."
"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."
"Has very good deduplication and encryption features."
"Technical support is quite good."
"It is a very scalable solution."
"The solution's licensing policy is more practical and not confusing."
"The product’s data retention is very good."
"The size and scale of the product are limited and could be improved."
"Installation and deployment for this product need improvement. These processes need to made easier. Currently, it's not an easy installation for customers. This product needs to be installed by professionals."
"Dell PowerProtect DD should come out with its own system so we do not have to use Data Domain. For example, something similar to what Symantec has done."
"We have some problems with backing up on the Power Platform. PowerServer is an IBM product, and it forces us to back up over LAN, which is not suitable for us."
"They're scalable."
"The tool's DD Boost is expensive."
"The product lacks some security features that would make it more stand-alone and integrated."
"DD Boost."
"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."
"This product would be improved with the inclusion of more features to security or WORM."
"The solution's pricing could be improved."
"The platform's price could be lower."
"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."
"HPE StoreOnce could improve the capacity support."
"Agnostic backups."
"The solution must provide backup options for smaller capacities."
