Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, NetApp and others in Deduplication Software."The deduplication feature in this product is amazing."
"Currently, VTLs can only be created on individual service sets and cannot be used to share the resources of other nodes."
"It's easy to backup data, manage. A"
"Technical support is quite good."
"The most valuable features are the deduplication and compression capabilities."
"From a centralized system, I can manage the interface, the backup policies, and the status of the database."
"The initial setup process is simple."
"We also really benefit from the GUI capabilities."
"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.""
"I'm satisfied with tech support, because the solution is so stable that I haven't had the need to engage any of the engineers yet."
"A simple and stable solution for small businesses that use virtualization."
"The most valuable feature is adaptability, where it automatically adapts to the environment that it's being installed on."
"The most valuable features are the backup and restoration of our VMs. Additionally, they add features regularly."
"This is very user-friendly."
"The solution offers the normal benefits of a virtual machine versus a physical, actual machine. It doesn't take up space, for example."
"It lets you verify a backup with the least amount of effort."
"The solution's pricing could be improved."
"The web interface, ease of use, and GUI all need to be improved."
"The user interface of HPE StoreOnce should be more user-friendly. Additionally, the configuration and troubleshooting could be better."
"While StoreOnce has many features, it needs to focus on integrating with third-party backup software solutions."
"HPE StoreOnce needs to be made cheaper than products from Dell and Veeam."
"This product would be improved with the inclusion of more features to security or WORM."
"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."
"Its customer service could be faster."
"Even though the speed has improved over the years, I think that there are some instances where it still takes a while."
"The VMotion feature is not reliable enough to ensure a successful migration operation."
"There is always some room for improvement, especially with some of the different technologies such as DB2. Commvault has a DB2 agent, but Veeam still doesn't have it. We have to use the universal one for it."
"Device backup could be improved."
"The cloud part of it can be improved. There should be an option for Veeam in your own cloud, as compared to the Veeam cloud offering that's currently there. The rest of it is easy."
"The whole graphical user interface is very easy, but the details are hidden deeply and aren't easily visible. You cannot easily see the details and explore or choose the settings. We should be able to easily explore various settings and options. If you can see more details while choosing the settings or setting it up, it helps in getting the software running easily. For example, in Microsoft Office, you can see much more in the interface than in Veeam Backup & Replication. It is a complex software. It is not easy to use, and you must know what to do and where to do. The user manual has more than a thousand pages. They should give some direct information through the software and improve the software. On their website, they can have some videos and step-by-step information to make us come straight to our goals."
"Veeam Backup Replication has agents for Linux, but they are not supporting Cluster Shared Volumes. It would be great to have agents for Linux be cluster-aware, just like the Windows agents. That's the main pain point. In addition, we should be able to handle the automation of Oracle backups from the backup server. We should be able to schedule, control, and deploy them from the backup server rather than relying on scripts and/or the system you are backing up to perform the backup. Currently, we install the plug-in inside Oracle VMs and then use crontabs to handle the task schedule on each machine for scheduling the backups. Veeam Backup Replication should also support the automation of Nutanix backups from the backup server, not from the proxy. The other not so major thing is that they don't support legacy systems because Veeam is a new company. It is not as old as other companies. They don't support physical workloads that are really old, which a major challenge, but they do have a point. Legacy systems should be virtualized, and if they're virtualized, then the backup is not an issue with Veeam, but some customers like the physical setup, and they don't want to have it virtual."
"The DR component should be part of the comprehensive package, not separate."
