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."From a centralized system, I can manage the interface, the backup policies, and the status of the database."
"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 most valuable features for us are the ease of use, the reliability, and the exceptional deduplication that we get across that data that we store on those devices."
"Deduplication and compression are in a good ratio. It supports the HPE Catalyst protocol, which is much faster than NFS and other protocols. We use CommVault and Veeam, and these two solutions support the Catalyst protocol very well and are integrated at high speed. It is faster than normal access."
"The most valuable features are the deduplication and compression capabilities."
"Technical support is quite good."
"The important feature is compression and duplication. It has a good compression ratio and is very stable."
"The initial setup process is simple."
"The input and output per second performance are satisfactory."
"End-users like that they can rely on the Snapshot technology so they can do their restores themselves."
"One of the most valuable features offered is double-parity RAID, which guarantees that your data will stay intact. We're also able to provision storage and monitor which ones are really consuming storage."
"At the moment, we use NetApp SnapMirror to replicate data to another filer at an offsite location for backup. So, I like this feature."
"It allows our Windows and Unix teams to have a centralized point to share data between the two."
"Most valuable features are its ease of use, robust Snapshot functionality, and that you can use it in two datacenters with SnapMirror-ing."
"The solution is very stable and reliable"
"Adaptive balancing is a valuable feature."
"I would like to see an emphasis placed on making data deduplication and compression more powerful."
"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."
"The solution could always be less expensive."
"While StoreOnce has many features, it needs to focus on integrating with third-party backup software solutions."
"Cloud integration needs to be simplified."
"The platform's price could be lower."
"Some high-level cybersecurity features could be achieved with some entities, and their integration could be built into the store."
"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."
"Needs to improve the adaptive storage quality of service."
"The only downside is in ease in management; it is not easy to use."
"Currently, the newest release is not HCI friendly."
"Needs more SAN support."
"There is no NetApp infrastructure set up here in Greece."
"If our customer needs a high-performance storage solution then we don't recommend this product."
"We no longer have OEM support in South Africa which is not helpful, it can be difficult. They should add an office back to the country because it was better."
"I’ve found that I use command line more often than I thought needed. Some things should be done in the GUI, and command-line switches can be overwhelming and take up a lot of time."
