Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, NetApp and others in Deduplication Software."The scalability is very good."
"Currently, VTLs can only be created on individual service sets and cannot be used to share the resources of other nodes."
"The hardware is strong and all the equipment has a good infrastructure. Personally, I think it's the best storage product in HPE for small to medium-sized businesses."
"It is very easy to implement."
"HPE StoreOnce is an easy-to-use tool."
"The speed and deduplication ratio are two of the most valuable features of the solution."
"The interface is very user-friendly."
"I'm impressed with their support structure, call availability, understanding, flexibility in scheduling remote sessions, and accommodating customer timeframes."
"I know it's not exactly a feature, but I accept it works and it's easy to use. With the Veeam Backup & Replication, we have no problems in managing restore. Obviously, the most important thing about backup software. I used to say that every backup software can make backups, but only good ones can make a restore."
"The pricing of the solution is fair."
"Replication is the most valuable feature."
"The technical support is excellent. It's one of the best I've met so far."
"It's very easy to work with and it's very reliable."
"The features that I have found most valuable are its back up and recovery. It is a simplified backup because you can do both databases - VM and HyperV. It's a faster backup than the conventional methods because it takes up the bare metal."
"Once you get it set up, everything is smooth, and the recovery is excellent."
"Replication and restore object in Exchange boxes with possibility to select part of Microsoft directory."
"HPE StoreOnce needs to provide a SaaS solution by offering high-density disks."
"One item I wanted to see is SSD drives as a cache, and that was, for a time, still lacking in StoreOnce, however, they have done it now. It's not available yet, however, it will be shortly."
"Cloud integration needs to be simplified."
"While StoreOnce has many features, it needs to focus on integrating with third-party backup software solutions."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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 ease of use could be improved, but I don't have a very deep amount of experience in Veeam, so it's difficult to say what could be improved."
"The more features the solution has the more complex it can be to set up. Veeam Backup & Replication can be complex."
"They need full cloud integration such that an on-premises backup can be offloaded to the cloud for storage."
"A backup and replication solution should be able to back up a system and do recovery very fast. Even though Veeam Backup & Replication is able to meet most of our needs, it would be better if they can make it faster for backup and restore."
"During the initial setup especially, there's a bit of a learning curve."
"If you upgrade too quickly, you may have issues."
"I would like to see a storage application in the next version of the product."
"The Veeam backup application interface is application-based and not web-based."
