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 most valuable feature of this solution is that it can support both the CIFS and NFS protocols simultaneously."
"The solution can scale."
"Scalable and stable solution for backup purposes, with good encryption and huge data conversion features."
"The solution is very easy to manage. That's its most valuable feature."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"The functionality is very good. DD Boost and DD entry replication are used in almost all backup concepts. Those are the most used features."
"It's a stable solution."
"The traditional storage node and VPN setups are still viable options, but DD Boost offers a premium option with additional advantages. If available, adopting DD Boost can be a good choice."
"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."
"The initial setup is simple."
"The solution is stable."
"I'm impressed with their support structure, call availability, understanding, flexibility in scheduling remote sessions, and accommodating customer timeframes."
"Deduplication is the most valuable feature."
"I like the tool’s deduplication feature. We get a ratio of 9:1 for deduplication. The product is also Linux based. Last year, our organization faced some virus attacks. However, the backup was safe because of the product being a Linux version. HPE StoreOnce is a secure product."
"The product's most valuable feature is stability."
"The solution saves a lot of storage capacity."
"Though the customer uses the product, they don't receive active support from DD Boost even though they pay for it."
"The experience of restoring VMware or Veeam Backup is difficult, when the backup you are using is a solution for backup, which is already having a deduplication. When you try to restore from Data Domain, it doesn't work perfectly, because Data Domain is already having a deduplication as well."
"It would be good if the product could be useful not just for general backup. Its pricing is also expensive, and it can be a difficult application, particularly when you need to write a script for anything you would like to do."
"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."
"This product is expensive compared to other storage so the price can be improved."
"Integration could be better."
"The main issue I've identified is that when backing up a final backup from the branch server, we don't have deduplication functionality."
"There are limitations when using the VTL protocol in extreme cases."
"We're outsourced with a partner who recalls a larger amount of problems with the stability of the product."
"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 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."
"I would like to see better integration with Veeam software."
"Agnostic backups."
"This product would be improved with the inclusion of more features to security or WORM."
"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."
"The repository should have an extension to connect to the cloud and deposit the backups."
