Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, NetApp and others in Deduplication Software."Quick 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 most valuable feature is its catalyst mode, along with better performance, backup, and recovery."
"The initial setup is simple."
"From a centralized system, I can manage the interface, the backup policies, and the status of the database."
"It results in more efficient storage utilization, cutting capital expenditure in half."
"Deduplication and compression are in a good ratio. It supports the HPE Catalyst protocol, which is much faster than NFS and other protocols. We use CommVault and Veeam, and these two solutions support the Catalyst protocol very well and are integrated at high speed. It is faster than normal access."
"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."
"The technical support is excellent. It's one of the best I've met so far."
"Veeam Backup & Replication is a great alternative to what is out there. Some of the backups just allow an agent backup to the cloud. You can back up a thousand different ways, but this is a great way to keep a customer and a company in compliance in that they've got their data secure onsite and offsite. The data being transferred to the NAS at the customer's location and also the data being sent to the cloud is encrypted in transit and it's also encrypted at rest so that nobody is going to be able to hack into that. No one will have the keys to do that."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to verify that backups are valid."
"The fast backup and restore feature is the most valuable."
"I have found the most valuable feature to be the new CDP features. It is very popular for my customer's needs."
"I have been in contact with technical support and they are very good."
"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."
"The backup and replication capabilities are quite good."
"Cloud integration needs to be simplified."
"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 user interface of HPE StoreOnce is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"We're outsourced with a partner who recalls a larger amount of problems with the stability of the product."
"Hardware maintenance involves some downtime for backup destination storage which can be a problem for some."
"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."
"The solution would be improved if it could also be used as a data store for VMware."
"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."
"Although the solution offers documentation, it has it only in English, which doesn't help us much in Belarus."
"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."
"Additional executive summary reports for the entire infrastructure would be a nice to have."
"We struggled to stabilize the application. We had an incident which resulted in a loss of data and have terminated this solution due to lack of support from the Veeam team."
"When you want to restore files, you first need to restore the machine, and then you have to mount it, and then restore the files."
"The backup and integration could be improved."
"Veeam Backup Replication could improve by having better integration with the cloud. Additionally, they do not have direct integration to S3 or Azure storage for the backups of the VMs. This feature would be beneficial because we have to go through the scalable repository which I do not like."
"The automation could be better."
