Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, NetApp and others in Deduplication Software."It results in more efficient storage utilization, cutting capital expenditure in half."
"I think the most valuable feature is the catalyst technology, which is in the StoreOnce appliance."
"If you have a large enough storage capacity then you can take an ample amount of data."
"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 speed and deduplication ratio are two of the most valuable features of the solution."
"The product’s data retention is very good."
"This is a user-friendly solution."
"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."
"I like the virtual server backup."
"There's a very nice central console for the administration of all of the instances."
"It is pretty stable. We have one dedicated technician that is taking care of all the data protect. Typically, we have an issue once a month, if that. Or once every two months."
"The most valuable feature of Veritas NetBackup is the protection policies or protection module."
"I like NetBackup's anomaly detection and Linux storage features."
"The solution is stable."
"Its ability to cover a large spectrum of products and operating systems is invaluable. We evaluated other products but always found certain limitations like some products had only intel-based virtualization, while others had power servers."
"The solution offers a lot of really great features that organizations can utilize and take advantage of."
"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."
"Its customer service could be faster."
"Hardware maintenance involves some downtime for backup destination storage which can be a problem for some."
"The latency is a bit high."
"HPE StoreOnce needs to be made cheaper than products from Dell and Veeam."
"The product's price could be better."
"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."
"We're outsourced with a partner who recalls a larger amount of problems with the stability of the product."
"The solution is not that stable because it has to be monitored and administered every day. The stability could be improved."
"The most common problem is the backup failures over the weekend. We have to troubleshoot and sometimes do restores and then we have trouble doing some of the restores."
"The speed of restoring data could be improved."
"In regards to protecting the physical servers with parameters, it's a long and difficult process."
"We would like the Java console to be updated."
"It is a very expensive solution. They should have a different scheme for selling it. They should also make it easy for us to switch from Solaris to Linux. We are having some trouble in migrating our actual catalog from Solaris to Linux."
"There is a big change in Veritas. In the past, we could easily change servers or appliances and continue working by restoring the catalog. We could change servers from Linux to Linux or Linux to Solaris and perform catalog restores to continue working. But with the new version, we are forced to engage Veritas' professional services, which is too expensive."
"Support for the solution needs improvement."
