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."
"HPE StoreOnce works well, it is stable."
"We also really benefit from the GUI capabilities."
"The implementation is straightforward."
"The most valuable features are the deduplication and compression capabilities."
"The solution saves a lot of storage capacity."
"Technical support is quite good."
"I think the most valuable feature is the catalyst technology, which is in the StoreOnce appliance."
"I like that it supports HPE UNIX servers since many backup solutions do not - this is the main reason why we chose this solution."
"The feature that was most valuable was that we could restore one mailbox and we could do different backups for different databases."
"What we find most valuable in Micro Focus Data Protector is that it provides Japanese data protection, for example, it protects information such as the full Japanese name, address, etc."
"The file system backup (by far, the most used) is the most valuable feature."
"It works excellently only with Oracle."
"This solution is quite stable because we have only three users."
"Data Protector is quite simple and easy to deploy. The deployment is always the same. It's on a server, and the agents are deployed to the machines in a straightforward way. We have two engineers who deploy and manage all our backup solutions."
"Deduplication implementation with CAPA is very good."
"The solution's pricing could be improved."
"I would like to see an emphasis placed on making data deduplication and compression more powerful."
"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 user interface of HPE StoreOnce should be more user-friendly. Additionally, the configuration and troubleshooting could be better."
"Its customer service could be faster."
"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."
"I would like to see better integration with Veeam software."
"HPE should have more options so customers can choose from a wide range of products with small to big capacities."
"VMware backup integration and cloud recovery is lacking."
"Microfocus needs to build a partnership with other vendors in addition to HPE as far as cloud consolidation of backups."
"The Micro Focus Data Protector support is not as good as Veeam Backup & Replication's support."
"We have a lot of requests for the Micro Focus team, particularly in terms of the Japanese data pattern, as it's not as good now. The Japanese data pattern accuracy of the Micro Focus Data Protector needs to be improved because there are a lot of false negatives and false positives. We are currently testing this and our product team has been communicating with the Micro Focus team."
"VM backups needs to be improved. They need to make it similar to the way Veeam and Commvault are doing the virtual backups."
"People prefer Veeam because the interface is easier, and Data Protector is difficult in comparison."
"We're not satisfied with the robustness and stability of the software since Micro Focus took it in-house. The GUI is one thing they could improve. It's still a bit archaic. Data Protector needs a more functional, user-friendly GUI."
"It would be ideal if they could improve their level of support."
