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."It is very easy to implement."
"HPE StoreOnce works well, it is stable."
"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 process is simple."
"I'm impressed with their support structure, call availability, understanding, flexibility in scheduling remote sessions, and accommodating customer timeframes."
"HPE StoreOnce has high performance."
"The solution's licensing policy is more practical and not confusing."
"The most valuable features are the deduplication and compression capabilities."
"The most valuable feature is the portability of large archived data. You're able to put things on large on-prem, low-cost storage and then augment that with even lower cost storage in the cloud."
"The solution is very easy to use and it offers great support."
"It's pretty simple. Once you set it, it goes; and then the idea of being able to get it to the cloud very quickly. It's kind of a set-it-forget-it."
"Being able to move data seamlessly from one-premise to the cloud (Azure). It works great. The backup solution is perfect for us."
"Its initial setup is easy."
"You can store backups for a while."
"The deduplication engine. Right now, we're at about 10.5 to 11 times deduplication of our backup data."
"It's so easy to work with."
"This product would be improved with the inclusion of more features to security or WORM."
"improvement? HPE StoreOnce has a limitation with respect to controllers. Other tools offer more than one controller. I feel that the high availability of the view controller should be redundant. The tool’s control and UI part should be improved and made more advanced. The feature that helps with the manual movement of tapes should also be improved."
"The solution's pricing could be improved."
"The solution must provide backup options for smaller capacities."
"The user interface of HPE StoreOnce is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The solution could always be less expensive."
"I don't see any new features that we could want or anything that could be done along those lines. Just that we need a bigger machine, so more speed."
"Its customer service could be faster."
"The initial setup phase of the tool was difficult."
"What could be helpful is different user base authentication so then maybe we could allow different customers to point to a single appliance and they only see the backups and things that they have."
"There are some bits it could do better. With tighter integration maybe with Veeam, or something like that, it'd be really good."
"NetApp's own competing products complicate things."
"I would like to see more web support."
"The solution needs faster indexing."
"More than a 500 volume limit. At the moment, it only supports up to 500 volumes for SnapMirror and that's a problem. We've got 750, so a larger limit for volume replicas for SnapMirror."
"I really want to partner it with the SnapCenter. We haven't implemented that yet. We're upgrading all of our stuff to the ONTAP 9, which you had to have."
