Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, NetApp and others in Deduplication Software."I think the most valuable feature is the catalyst technology, which is in the StoreOnce appliance."
"The scalability is very good."
"It results in more efficient storage utilization, cutting capital expenditure in half."
"The deduplication feature in this product is amazing."
"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 initial setup is simple."
"The initial setup is one of the most user-friendly B2B user solutions. It's good, it's easy. Deployment usually takes less than one day. You only need one person for deployment and maintenance."
"From a centralized system, I can manage the interface, the backup policies, and the status of the database."
"The product is very simple in its design. We don't need it to perform complicated tasks."
"The product could be improved if they wrote more PowerShell scripts for controlling Veeam."
"The initial setup is simple to do in Veeam Backup Replication."
"The replication is the most valuable feature for us."
"It has helped us to protect our IP address and critical information."
"The features that I have found most valuable are its ease of management, it is not complicated, it is very reliable, has good support and a lot of knowledge on the market for integrators."
"Integration with various applications, such as on-premises laptops and desktop backups, as well as applications and databases, is excellent."
"Its performance is fine. It supports us very well. It is able to support our policy for RTO, RPO, and other things that we need."
"While StoreOnce has many features, it needs to focus on integrating with third-party backup software solutions."
"The solution's pricing could be improved."
"The solution's technical support should be faster."
"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 latency is a bit high."
"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."
"The product could be improved with better support for data protection."
"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."
"Margins should not be distinct; instead, they should seamlessly integrate with the Veeam Backup and Replication tools, requiring minimal separation."
"I have found that the reporting could improve in its structure."
"Add an archive option to support legal obligations."
"The solution needs more detailed reporting."
"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."
"We try to compare Veeam with other solutions because we are the operations. Then we can give the answers for improvement which is the specific additional system features that other solutions provide."
"The ability to do more backups should be addressed."
"Multithreading of health check process: This can take too much time to process on large jobs and/or large VMs."
