We performed a comparison between Dell PowerProtect DD and HPE StoreOnce based on our users’ reviews in five categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
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.
"This is a superior and reliable backup system that can handle large capacities with little management."
"It is a stable solution."
"PowerProtect is a flexible solution that you can cover various cloud and on-premise environments."
"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."
"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."
"Deduplication and compression are the best features of the solution, which are popular and very effective."
"9900 has around 1.5 petabits of capacity in a single rack, and that's huge."
"The backup is very secure. The deduplication using EMC is very good. We are able to make systems and handle random cloning. EMC is a very stable solution for making backups."
"The solution saves a lot of storage capacity."
"Deduplication is the most valuable feature."
"Has very good deduplication and encryption features."
"It results in more efficient storage utilization, cutting capital expenditure in half."
"The deduplication feature in this product is amazing."
"The interface is very user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature of HPE StoreOnce is the virtual drive."
"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."
"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."
"Dell PowerProtect DD could improve by having better integration with other backup solutions."
"They need to make migration easier."
"Technical support needs improvement."
"The initial setup is complex."
"The tool's pricing could be cheaper."
"The pricing should be adjusted. Customers continuously talk about the price. They know it is a good solution and they really need the type of storage the solution offers, but it costs somewhere around $100,000 and up. It's not cheap, but it's very important for data vendors."
"We are not able to deal directly with the OEM we have to go to their partners in Nigeria."
"I would like to see an emphasis placed on making data deduplication and compression more powerful."
"The repository should have an extension to connect to the cloud and deposit the backups."
"HPE should have more options so customers can choose from a wide range of products with small to big capacities."
"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."
"HPE StoreOnce needs to provide a SaaS solution by offering high-density disks."
"The web interface, ease of use, and GUI all need to be improved."
"I would like to see better integration with Veeam software."
"We're outsourced with a partner who recalls a larger amount of problems with the stability of the product."
