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 most valuable features are the deduplication and compression and the Data Domain Boost."
"We have found the product to be scalable."
"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."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the integrated deduplication function."
"Dell PowerProtect DD is a stable solution."
"The most valuable feature is the inline data deduplication."
"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 product provides good backup and compression services."
"It results in more efficient storage utilization, cutting capital expenditure in half."
"The product’s data retention is very good."
"The most valuable features are the deduplication and compression capabilities."
"I think the most valuable feature is the catalyst technology, which is in the StoreOnce appliance."
"The solution's licensing policy is more practical and not confusing."
"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."
"Deduplication is the most valuable feature."
"I think StoreOnce's deduplication technology is crucial for cost efficiency and faster recovery, especially for backup and data protection purposes."
"Data Domain lacks compatibility with fiber channels and tapes. We can't use it with a tape library. That's an issue in Latin America sometimes because a lot of clients still use tapes for budget reasons. Maybe they have a lot of archives. In North America and Europe, they do a lot of archiving, but they use the cloud more than we do. Sometimes we have to put together a Frankenstein where we connect another server to the tape library and send all the data there."
"Technical support needs improvement."
"The licensing is not cost-effective, and the pricing could be better."
"They're scalable."
"The pricing model needs to be improved."
"The tool's DD Boost is expensive."
"We have had deduplication and replication issues. When we used another backup software we noticed that it didn't have the same issues."
"DD Boost."
"We're outsourced with a partner who recalls a larger amount of problems with the stability of the product."
"The repository should have an extension to connect to the cloud and deposit the backups."
"The product could be improved with better support for data protection."
"It is difficult to solve issues with this solution remotely. I prefer to use the knowledge base platforms. The response time could improve."
"The solution's technical support should be faster."
"improvement? HPE StoreOnce has a limitation with respect to controllers. Other tools offer more than one controller. I feel that the high availability of the view controller should be redundant. The tool’s control and UI part should be improved and made more advanced. The feature that helps with the manual movement of tapes should also be improved."
"The GUI and its user-friendliness have some room for improvement."
"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."
