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.
"The tool's performance is very good. DD Boost can improve its performance and backup."
"Its pricing is not overly expensive."
"The most important feature is the level of data compression provided by Dell EMC. It's a leader in data compression and deduplication, and the level of compression isn't available with any other vendors in the market."
"The hardware can operate in high temperatures, in case of any disaster."
"The most valuable feature is the inline data deduplication."
"As our organization functions, we have a total of 2500+ primary sites and 6300+ secondary sites. All of our entire backup systems are totally dependent on this product. EMC Data Domain is very reliable and there are no issues using it since 2015."
"I like Data Domain as a protocol for data backup."
"It's very easy to use the domain once it's been set up. The interface is also user-friendly."
"It's easy to backup data, manage. A"
"The most valuable features for us are the ease of use, the reliability, and the exceptional deduplication that we get across that data that we store on those devices."
"If you have a large enough storage capacity then you can take an ample amount of data."
"HPE StoreOnce is an easy-to-use tool."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its catalyst mode, along with better performance, backup, and recovery."
"It is a very scalable solution."
"We also really benefit from the GUI capabilities."
"Technical support is quite good."
"They need to make migration easier."
"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."
"The licensing is not cost-effective, and the pricing could be better."
"First-time integrations are difficult in NetWorker. NetWorker software needs to be simplified. It's very complex."
"We would like to see the price of this solution brought down to be comparable with similar products currently on the market."
"The price could be a little cheaper than it is now."
"We have had deduplication and replication issues. When we used another backup software we noticed that it didn't have the same issues."
"We are not able to deal directly with the OEM we have to go to their partners in Nigeria."
"We're outsourced with a partner who recalls a larger amount of problems with the stability of the product."
"Agnostic backups."
"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 solution should continue to refine its integration capabilities. I also see they are starting to use cloud integration as well, which is good, but they should do more to integrate with it."
"The repository should have an extension to connect to the cloud and deposit the backups."
"The solution would be improved if it could also be used as a data store for VMware."
"The setup phase is not so simple that an end user can plug and play to make it operational."
"One item I wanted to see is SSD drives as a cache, and that was, for a time, still lacking in StoreOnce, however, they have done it now. It's not available yet, however, it will be shortly."
