Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, NetApp and others in Deduplication Software."If you have a large enough storage capacity then you can take an ample amount of data."
"The valuable feature is the ability to work with the Veeam software to reduce the backup windows."
"The initial setup process is simple."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that the tool provides good value for somebody who needs an affordable and reliable storage solution."
"HPE StoreOnce has high performance."
"It is a very scalable solution."
"The implementation is straightforward."
"It is very easy to implement."
"I think this is the best backup solution that we have. It is very good for the infrastructure."
"We were evaluating other products and getting confused between Commvault and Veritas NetBackup. The one reason that we started with Veritas NetBackup is the pricing of the license. There's no other reason from a technical perspective or even operation or capability of the two software. The main reason we chose Veritas NetBackup was that in our use case it is more cost-effective."
"Its ability to cover a large spectrum of products and operating systems is invaluable. We evaluated other products but always found certain limitations like some products had only intel-based virtualization, while others had power servers."
"The solution offers very good storage efficiency, so there's excellent compression and deduplication within the product that our clients really appreciate."
"It is very easy to back up and recover files compared to other products."
"It's durable — we achieve what we expect from it."
"Management interface was simple to use once understood."
"There's a very nice central console for the administration of all of the instances."
"HPE should have more options so customers can choose from a wide range of products with small to big capacities."
"The GUI and its user-friendliness have some room for improvement."
"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."
"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."
"They could provide more options for storage capacity."
"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."
"Its customer service could be faster."
"I would like to see an emphasis placed on making data deduplication and compression more powerful."
"Extra features come with additional costs."
"It needs support for Kernel-based Virtual Machines (KVMs)."
"GUI needs to be more user-friendly."
"We have issues reaching them during some hours, and we need to escalate through several levels to get a resolution. Sometimes tickets stay open for days."
"The reporting of the backups could be better."
"Some of the hardware is out of support."
"Maybe they could add more cloud solutions."
"The solution could improve by having a feature to backup iSeries workloads."
