We performed a comparison between DD Boost and HPE StoreOnce based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Deduplication Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The initial setup of DD Boost involves a simple procedure."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it can support both the CIFS and NFS protocols simultaneously."
"The most valuable feature is the support for plug-ins."
"It's a stable solution."
"I like the tool set, it's easy to work on and the support is brilliant."
"This product's unique protocol make it superior to competing products and alternate solutions."
"It cuts down network traffic, and only the relevant parts move around because it is deduced and encrypted."
"The functionality is very good. DD Boost and DD entry replication are used in almost all backup concepts. Those are the most used features."
"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 product’s data retention is very good."
"The deduplication feature in this product is amazing."
"It is a very scalable solution."
"The valuable feature is the ability to work with the Veeam software to reduce the backup windows."
"HPE StoreOnce has high performance."
"The initial setup is simple."
"From a centralized system, I can manage the interface, the backup policies, and the status of the database."
"DD Boost could improve the solution by offering additional customizations that build upon existing features such as deduplication ratios. The primary objective of the solution is to create backups of existing data and push that data out to clients' backup systems. If they can make the process faster and introduce more enhancements, it would greatly benefit the backup environment."
"My customer was interested in ransomware protection. Currently, Dell offers the Cyber Vault solution, which is separate from Data Domain. Ideally, ransomware protection would be integrated directly within DD Boost, without requiring an additional out-of-the-box solution. This feature is currently available with HPE's Zerto and Huawei's Ocean Protect with third-party products like PradoNet. While Cyber Vault exists as a separate solution from Data Domain, having some standard protection for immutable backups into DD Boost would be a valuable addition and make it more competitive with other vendors."
"The multi-tier functionality can be improved, but it is quite good. They could improve replication and perhaps support additional sharing network protocols. I would also like to see better implementation of NFS Version 3, but it is already implemented and quite usable as it is."
"It should be expanded to include other databases and software. It should also be made easier to restore."
"DD Boost's technical support could be better."
"Though the customer uses the product, they don't receive active support from DD Boost even though they pay for it."
"The solution must provide better deduplication."
"It would be nice if they could have the same tool set right from the smallest to the biggest modules, but being specific frame dependent."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"It is difficult to solve issues with this solution remotely. I prefer to use the knowledge base platforms. The response time could improve."
"HPE StoreOnce needs to provide a SaaS solution by offering high-density disks."
"The repository should have an extension to connect to the cloud and deposit the backups."
"The solution would be improved if it could also be used as a data store for VMware."
