Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, NetApp and others in Deduplication Software."From a centralized system, I can manage the interface, the backup policies, and the status of the database."
"The valuable feature is the ability to work with the Veeam software to reduce the backup windows."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its catalyst mode, along with better performance, backup, and recovery."
"Currently, VTLs can only be created on individual service sets and cannot be used to share the resources of other nodes."
"The solution's licensing policy is more practical and not confusing."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that the tool provides good value for somebody who needs an affordable and reliable storage solution."
"HPE StoreOnce is an easy-to-use tool."
"I have found one of the most valuable features to be the integrity of the backups."
"Strong performance with a high level of compatibility."
"The ability of instant VM recovery, which means starting the backup VM and getting it online while the recovery is still happening is the most valuable feature."
"Its simplicity and the fact that it just works are most valuable. We kind of set it up and generally forget about it. It does what we need it to do in the background, and it doesn't involve a lot of management."
"It's a pretty complete product."
"I like Veeam a lot because it solves problems, is stable, and runs very well."
"The good thing about Veeam is that its initial setup and usage are straightforward."
"It's scalable."
"The product's price could be better."
"Its customer service could be faster."
"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 could always be less expensive."
"I don't see any new features that we could want or anything that could be done along those lines. Just that we need a bigger machine, so more speed."
"The platform's price could be lower."
"HPE should have more options so customers can choose from a wide range of products with small to big capacities."
"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."
"During the initial setup especially, there's a bit of a learning curve."
"I like the Acronis backup solutions on the block-based part of backups. That is a functionality that Veeam does not provide."
"The solution requires a lot of bandwidth."
"The documentation and communication could be better in Veeam Backup Replication."
"We have had problems with some jobs. For example, when we have a VM with a large SQL Database, sometimes we cannot adjust the time for transaction logs to back up and overlap time."
"I would like to see the Veeam cloud solution and Microsoft Office 365 included all in one platform."
"My main concern about Veeam is that I hope our backups will still be secure in the event of a security incident such as a ransomware attack. In Veeam version 11 they do state that there is ransomware protection, but until it has been proven to be effective, I don't have any assurance that it will prevent data loss."
"Its price is higher than other solutions and can be improved. They can also change the version of the software more often."
