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 stability is excellent."
"The most valuable features of Dell PowerProtect DD are reduplication and compression. It provides a lot of data savings for backups. Additionally, the Dell PowerProtect DD solution offers a bundled backup software and storage option. If desired, users can also connect to cloud technology to create an additional copy of their data in the cloud. This solution supports synchronization with various cloud vendors, including Azure and AWS."
"The compression aspect of the solution is great."
"9900 has around 1.5 petabits of capacity in a single rack, and that's huge."
"We have found the product to be scalable."
"Its pricing is not overly expensive."
"The most valuable feature is the inline data deduplication."
"It works within backup windows and has got good deduplication."
"The initial setup process is simple."
"The interface is very user-friendly."
"The initial setup is one of the most user-friendly B2B user solutions. It's good, it's easy. Deployment usually takes less than one day. You only need one person for deployment and maintenance."
"Deduplication is the most valuable feature."
"HPE StoreOnce has high performance."
"The speed and deduplication ratio are two of the most valuable features of the solution."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that the tool provides good value for somebody who needs an affordable and reliable storage solution."
"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."
"Technical support needs improvement."
"The usage of this solution is a bit difficult to develop processes, and it takes a long time to market permits."
"The software from Dell that can be used to operate Data Domain needs to have enhancements made to the user interface. It is too complex."
"The size and scale of the product are limited and could be improved."
"The licensing model was the biggest concern for our company, but the poor support after the initial implementation is of equal concern."
"We are not able to deal directly with the OEM we have to go to their partners in Nigeria."
"I would like to see integration with public cloud."
"The only problem is that it's more expensive than any other vendors available in the market."
"The solution would be improved if it could also be used as a data store for VMware."
"The latency is a bit high."
"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 user interface of HPE StoreOnce should be more user-friendly. Additionally, the configuration and troubleshooting could be better."
"This product would be improved with the inclusion of more features to security or WORM."
"In terms of areas for improvement, I believe HPE StoreOnce could learn from competitors like Dell's Data Domain and ExtraHop in refining its architecture."
"The GUI and its user-friendliness have some room for improvement."
"The solution must provide backup options for smaller capacities."
