Find out in this report how the two Deduplication Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We also really benefit from the GUI capabilities."
"The most valuable features are the deduplication and compression capabilities."
"The valuable feature is the ability to work with the Veeam software to reduce the backup windows."
"Quick recovery."
"The solution is stable."
"The initial setup process is simple."
"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."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its catalyst mode, along with better performance, backup, and recovery."
"The product is user-friendly and helps to evaluate the performance of each node. It ensures that if one node encounters an issue, the system can immediately redistribute the workload without interruptions. This setup provides uninterrupted operation for our systems."
"It has integrated snapshot and backup capability."
"Can use both SAN and NAS at the same time."
"NetApp FAS is highly stable and reliable, especially under a heavy load. That is what I like most about the NetApp."
"The migration of the volume on the cluster is very useful and easy to use."
"It is very easy to expand disks and manage CIFS."
"The storage efficiency provided a maximum savings in our storage utilization."
"Other products lose performance over time, but NetApp OS is speed-optimized."
"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."
"Its customer service could be faster."
"The solution could always be less expensive."
"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."
"The product's price could be better."
"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."
"In terms of areas for improvement, I believe HPE StoreOnce could learn from competitors like Dell's Data Domain and ExtraHop in refining its architecture."
"There are some technical limitations, but it would be great to have in-line deduplication and in-line compression for the FAS series as well."
"They should add new features to the product."
"No other area for improvement comes to mind other than its price. Making the price more attractive will help this solution have a bigger market share."
"The solution's configuration is not flexible."
"With scalability, we feel the system is limited."
"As I see it, there could be more interfaces, more cache, etc."
"Replication should ideally be part of the ONTAP base bundle."
"The only downside is in ease in management; it is not easy to use."
