Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, NetApp and others in Deduplication Software."The valuable feature is the ability to work with the Veeam software to reduce the backup windows."
"The speed and deduplication ratio are two of the most valuable features of the solution."
"The initial setup is simple."
"The initial setup process is simple."
"I think the most valuable feature is the catalyst technology, which is in the StoreOnce appliance."
"The scalability is very good."
"The important feature is compression and duplication. It has a good compression ratio and is very stable."
"Technical support is quite good."
"The solution allows us to be able to backup and exchange directly, to backup Microsoft exchange."
"This solution is quite stable because we have only three users."
"Data Protector's GUI is the most useful feature."
"The most valuable feature of Data Protector is its integration with VMware. A lot of software these days integrates with VMware, and you can run some of these things on virtual machines. You can even have your backup manager running on a virtual machine and use physical managers to move data around. Their VMware integration isn't too bad, but Commvault has that feature, and many other backup products do."
"It is very easy to use and the interaction with various systems is very handy."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"It is a traditional backup model. If you talk about file server and the official Windows database, it's a stable product."
"The stability of the product seems to be quite good."
"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."
"The setup phase is not so simple that an end user can plug and play to make it operational."
"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."
"The user interface of HPE StoreOnce should be more user-friendly. Additionally, the configuration and troubleshooting could be better."
"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."
"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."
"HPE StoreOnce needs to provide a SaaS solution by offering high-density disks."
"They could provide more options for storage capacity."
"We face challenges with its stability."
"I do not think that this solution is relevant in the current IT market. They have not upgraded their features and functionalities which makes it difficult for them to remain competitive."
"The online backups of Office 365 have room for improvement. This is now available for the Exchange Online part of Office 365, but we're still waiting for SharePoint Online, Teams, etc. We know that it's coming, but it takes time."
"People prefer Veeam because the interface is easier, and Data Protector is difficult in comparison."
"Virtualization."
"We faced some certification issues after we upgraded to version 10.2."
"This solution is not scalable."
"Faster VEAgent Restores"
