We performed a comparison between HPE StoreOnce and IBM Spectrum Protect based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, NetApp and others in Deduplication Software."I think StoreOnce's deduplication technology is crucial for cost efficiency and faster recovery, especially for backup and data protection purposes."
"This is a user-friendly solution."
"From a centralized system, I can manage the interface, the backup policies, and the status of the database."
"We also really benefit from the GUI capabilities."
"I'm impressed with their support structure, call availability, understanding, flexibility in scheduling remote sessions, and accommodating customer timeframes."
"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."
"I think the most valuable feature is the catalyst technology, which is in the StoreOnce appliance."
"The initial setup process is simple."
"We optimize our costs of media and storage use, thanks to the Incremental Forever backup. The TDP software provides us many ways to protect our data, so we don't need to use monstrous scripts for doing backups now."
"We can use it with any storage for the back-end to save data."
"It is more efficient than most traditional backup solutions."
"Once setup, you do not need to touch it again. You just need to do a formal check on possibly batch updates."
"It protects our data. That is what it is there for."
"Incremental forever: This feature helps us reduce backup time and backup storage space."
"Their GUI has improved quite a bit. It's made the solution a lot simpler and less complex."
"It allows us to have one interface."
"HPE StoreOnce needs to be made cheaper than products from Dell and Veeam."
"I would like to see better integration with Veeam software."
"While StoreOnce has many features, it needs to focus on integrating with third-party backup software solutions."
"Agnostic backups."
"Hardware maintenance involves some downtime for backup destination storage which can be a problem for some."
"The solution would be improved if it could also be used as a data store for VMware."
"The solution should continue to refine its integration capabilities. I also see they are starting to use cloud integration as well, which is good, but they should do more to integrate with it."
"The user interface of HPE StoreOnce is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"I would like to see integration with Copy Data Management, which is an IBM product. Right now, these two products are siloed, so if these two become integrated, the product would become a bit of a powerhouse."
"I would like to advance reporting and analytics for the platform to see how much data is coming into the platform. how much data is expiring everyday, and what tape savings we are getting through reclamation."
"I should be able to backup Linux. I would like SUSE for Linux on POWER. Right now, we have to use Storex, which is a pain to use."
"Integration with some applications in the healthcare field could be added, as that is a big part of our business."
"There have been some sizing issues now, and we are dealing with those."
"I would like to see monitoring within the platform: monitoring for storage pools and monitoring for the server's health (e.g., CPU and memory)."
"The most important feature which I wish to be added involves the GUI, the user interface."
"The previous GUI that they had was slow, and it did not have enough information on it."
