"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."
"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."
"Stable and scalable suite of solutions with deduplication, apart from data protection, storage, and backup."
"Our clients like the wide range of features that are available within this single solution."
"This is a superior and reliable backup system that can handle large capacities with little management."
"It's very competitive in terms of the price and technology. Also, the development team continuously makes updates. The data reduction feature is very useful."
"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 stable. I would rate the stability of the solution a nine out of ten."
"Has very good deduplication and encryption features."
"I'm impressed with their support structure, call availability, understanding, flexibility in scheduling remote sessions, and accommodating customer timeframes."
"The solution's licensing policy is more practical and not confusing."
"It is a very scalable solution."
"I think the most valuable feature is the catalyst technology, which is in the StoreOnce appliance."
"The hardware is strong and all the equipment has a good infrastructure. Personally, I think it's the best storage product in HPE for small to medium-sized businesses."
"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."
"HPE StoreOnce has high performance."
"I would like to see better integration and support for backing up to cloud providers such as Alibaba Cloud."
"Its management can be improved."
"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 licensing model was the biggest concern for our company, but the poor support after the initial implementation is of equal concern."
"The initial setup is complex."
"We would like faster instant recovery."
"The pricing could be better, but it's still not too expensive."
"The firmware upgrades could be simplified. I'm in the process of struggling to upgrade right now."
"We're outsourced with a partner who recalls a larger amount of problems with the stability of the product."
"The latency is a bit high."
"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."
"HPE StoreOnce needs to be made cheaper than products from Dell and Veeam."
"HPE StoreOnce needs to provide a SaaS solution by offering high-density disks."
"Hardware maintenance involves some downtime for backup destination storage which can be a problem for some."
"HPE StoreOnce should come with a detailed installation guide."
"The user interface of HPE StoreOnce should be more user-friendly. Additionally, the configuration and troubleshooting could be better."
