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.
"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."
"It is a stable solution."
"It works within backup windows and has got good deduplication."
"The most valuable features of Dell EMC PowerProtect DD are the duplication security and uptime."
"9900 has around 1.5 petabits of capacity in a single rack, and that's huge."
"The hardware can operate in high temperatures, in case of any disaster."
"The tool's performance is very good. DD Boost can improve its performance and backup."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the integrated deduplication function."
"The interface is very user-friendly."
"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."
"I think StoreOnce's deduplication technology is crucial for cost efficiency and faster recovery, especially for backup and data protection purposes."
"The most valuable features are the deduplication and compression capabilities."
"HPE StoreOnce works well, it is stable."
"Currently, VTLs can only be created on individual service sets and cannot be used to share the resources of other nodes."
"The solution is stable."
"It's easy to backup data, manage. A"
"The tool's DD Boost is expensive."
"The initial setup is complex."
"I would like to see better integration and support for backing up to cloud providers such as Alibaba Cloud."
"It can probably have integration with other OEMs. It should also have more features for ransomware protection."
"The pricing model needs to be improved."
"We are not able to deal directly with the OEM we have to go to their partners in Nigeria."
"They still have hardware different from the software."
"We would like faster instant recovery."
"Hardware maintenance involves some downtime for backup destination storage which can be a problem for some."
"The solution would be improved if it could also be used as a data store for VMware."
"HPE StoreOnce should come with a detailed installation guide."
"They could provide more options for storage capacity."
"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."
"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."
"The latency is a bit high."
"The solution must provide backup options for smaller capacities."
