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 hardware can operate in high temperatures, in case of any disaster."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the integrated deduplication function."
"Dell PowerProtect DD is a stable solution."
"It is a stable solution."
"The most valuable feature is the performance because you can back up data really quickly."
"The solution is very scalable."
"Its pricing is not overly expensive."
"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."
"Catalyst backup is used to back up Oracle databases, and provides very good throughput during backups."
"It is a very scalable solution."
"Deduplication is the most valuable feature."
"The solution's licensing policy is more practical and not confusing."
"It results in more efficient storage utilization, cutting capital expenditure in half."
"We also really benefit from the GUI capabilities."
"The product’s data retention is very good."
"DD Boost."
"We have had deduplication and replication issues. When we used another backup software we noticed that it didn't have the same issues."
"The price could be a little cheaper than it is now."
"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."
"The licensing is not cost-effective, and the pricing could be better."
"DD doesn't have Intel's air gap technology."
"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."
"They still have hardware different from the software."
"The solution must provide backup options for smaller capacities."
"The product could be improved with better support for data protection."
"HPE should have more options so customers can choose from a wide range of products with small to big capacities."
"The latency is a bit high."
"Agnostic backups."
"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."
"The appliance doesn't have the global deduplication, it has StoreOnce deduplication. It does not deduplicate across the appliance, it will deduplicate in one particular store. With the global deduplication, I could store more data."
"The solution would be improved if it could also be used as a data store for VMware."
