"The product provides good backup and compression services."
"The feature that I have found most useful is its data duplication."
"Stable and scalable suite of solutions with deduplication, apart from data protection, storage, and backup."
"The deduplication feature is the most valuable part of the solution."
"Dell PowerProtect DD’s most valuable feature is 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."
"We are very satisfied with this solution. It's easy to use and efficient."
"This solution has a feature called Domain Boost, which allows for source deduplication and compression."
"Has very good deduplication and encryption features."
"We also really benefit from the GUI capabilities."
"HPE StoreOnce is an easy-to-use tool."
"The implementation is straightforward."
"It's easy to backup data, manage. A"
"The solution saves a lot of storage capacity."
"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."
"It results in more efficient storage utilization, cutting capital expenditure in half."
"Technical support needs improvement."
"It could be more secure."
"The price could be a little cheaper than it is now."
"The price of the product is high."
"The pricing model needs to be improved."
"Looking at Dell PowerProtect DD (Data Domain), there is a need for improvement, especially in terms of protection from cyber resiliency, cyber recovery, or man-in-the-middle attacks."
"The price could be improved."
"When you use Data Domain, you have to have at least 20% free space so it can work properly. Sometimes we struggle with that, because we wanted to use all the free space, but then Data Domain becomes really slow. I understand that 20% is needed to process all the data, and doing the duplication and compression and all that, but it would be a big improvement if they did not require that 20%, because it is just too much to have available."
"Agnostic backups."
"HPE StoreOnce needs to be made cheaper than products from Dell and Veeam."
"I would like to see better integration with Veeam software."
"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 would be improved if it could also be used as a data store for VMware."
"I would like to see an emphasis placed on making data deduplication and compression more powerful."
"While StoreOnce has many features, it needs to focus on integrating with third-party backup software solutions."
"The platform's price could be lower."
