Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, NetApp and others in Deduplication Software."It is a very scalable solution."
"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."
"From a centralized system, I can manage the interface, the backup policies, and the status of the database."
"The initial setup is simple."
"It results in more efficient storage utilization, cutting capital expenditure in half."
"The product's most valuable feature is stability."
"The most valuable feature of HPE StoreOnce is the virtual drive."
"HPE StoreOnce has high performance."
"It has an intuitive interface, and it provides us with successful backups without needing to tweak or do any adjusting. We just set it up and like their ad says, "It Just Works.""
"The most valuable features of Veeam Backup Replication are ease of use, dashboards, and reporting."
"The initial setup is simple to do in Veeam Backup Replication."
"The backup and replication capabilities are quite good."
"It is a flexible, simple, and scalable software-based solution. It has agentless functionality with specific hypervisors and agent-based functionality with specific operating systems. It gives you the flexibility to use your own hardware and back up physical Windows, Linux, IBM AIX, and Oracle Solaris systems as well as VMware VMs, Hyper-V VMs, and Nutanix VMs from one console. It also has integration with major applications that most companies are using, such as Active Directory, SQL, Exchange, or SharePoint. It has integrations, not just for the backup on the image, host layer, or hypervisor, but also for performing an application-consistent backup. It is helpful in backing up to the tape, cloud, DR site, etc. It is really flexible. It is really amazing that you can restore any backup on VMware, Azure, or AWS. As compared to the other solutions in the market. Veeam has really integrated a lot in the past years. It has the best performance and perfect replication."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to restore the VMs into a test environment."
"The solution does a good job with VM backups."
"It's not complex to replicate and back up the system."
"They could provide more options for storage capacity."
"The product's price could be better."
"Hardware maintenance involves some downtime for backup destination storage which can be a problem for some."
"It is difficult to solve issues with this solution remotely. I prefer to use the knowledge base platforms. The response time could improve."
"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."
"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."
"HPE StoreOnce could improve the capacity support."
"The repository should have an extension to connect to the cloud and deposit the backups."
"We're using both Backup and Replication, Veeam Cloud Connect, and Veeam Office 365. What I am missing is a good graphical user interface between these three products."
"Veeam currently lacks features for backing up to network-attached storage. Veeam Backup & Replication agents do not support S3 storage. Only Veeam Backup & Replication server supports S3 storage."
"Some support replies for a broken backup task have been "rebuild the job from scratch" and this is a bad thing to do if you have many VMs and repositories."
"Needs better integration with cloud service providers."
"The initial setup was not straightforward at all."
"Although the solution offers documentation, it has it only in English, which doesn't help us much in Belarus."
"I like the Acronis backup solutions on the block-based part of backups. That is a functionality that Veeam does not provide."
"It would be beneficial to have enhanced solutions for database backup, particularly for Oracle databases in the context of SAP systems."
