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.
"If you have a large enough storage capacity then you can take an ample amount of data."
"The solution is stable."
"The solution's licensing policy is more practical and not confusing."
"I like the tool’s deduplication feature. We get a ratio of 9:1 for deduplication. The product is also Linux based. Last year, our organization faced some virus attacks. However, the backup was safe because of the product being a Linux version. HPE StoreOnce is a secure product."
"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 initial setup is simple."
"I think the most valuable feature is the catalyst technology, which is in the StoreOnce appliance."
"The speed and deduplication ratio are two of the most valuable features of the solution."
"Has rock solid reliability and is easy to use."
"The solution is stable."
"It is very easy to expand disks and manage CIFS."
"Adaptive balancing is a valuable feature."
"It has a very good implementation of the Active Directory services, so implementation into a Windows network is easy."
"Snapshot, deduplication, and compression features are valuable."
"The strong point is that our clients like this are RadLV (Radiology Low-Value). They also use SnapMirror and MetroCluster."
"Most valuable features are its ease of use, robust Snapshot functionality, and that you can use it in two datacenters with SnapMirror-ing."
"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."
"Cloud integration needs to be simplified."
"They could provide more options for storage capacity."
"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."
"Its customer service could be faster."
"HPE StoreOnce needs to provide a SaaS solution by offering high-density disks."
"HPE should have more options so customers can choose from a wide range of products with small to big capacities."
"The platform's price could be lower."
"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."
"NetApp needs to put its OS on a microchip rather than on disks."
"The solution could do more than just data."
"For long term partnership in Myanmar, the local warehouse should be built in Myanmar that's something I'd like to see. We have some issues with supply so there is sometimes a delay in getting the hardware."
"I think this kind of infrastructure is mostly obsolete. To keep up with developments in this space, you need to move all these features to an All-Flash solution."
"The user interface could be improved."
"Currently, the newest release is not HCI friendly."
"There is room for improvement in deployment and configuration processes."
