Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."It is also very easy to determine which VMs are being backed up and which ones aren't. This is helpful to make sure nothing is being missed."
"The most valuable aspect for me is that I don't have to deal with media in terms of tapes like our existing system does."
"With instant DR failover using SiteContinuity, we are able to keep our files available no matter the situation."
"The most valuable features of Cohesity DataProtect are SpanFS and the handling of hybrid workloads."
"I found value in the instant recovery with DataMove. I found value in the protection group model for applying policies to VMs. And in the overall UI navigation and the way that the application is laid out in the web browser."
"The most valuable feature is ease of use."
"Cohesity DataProtect is user-friendly and straightforward. The setup process was effortless, and both the backup and restore operations are speedy."
"After linking a cloud subscription, like Azure for example (AWS and Google are also supported), you can "spin" a VM onto the cloud from any backup snapshot."
"The solution's licensing policy is more practical and not confusing."
"It results in more efficient storage utilization, cutting capital expenditure in half."
"The initial setup process is simple."
"HPE StoreOnce works well, it is stable."
"The product's most valuable feature is stability."
"It is a very scalable solution."
"HPE StoreOnce is particularly useful in situations where organizations require a backup solution to store their data. Its deduplication feature is quite impressive, providing a deduplication ratio of around 25 to 26."
"I'm impressed with their support structure, call availability, understanding, flexibility in scheduling remote sessions, and accommodating customer timeframes."
"They could always keep up with continuous interface refinements."
"Better documentation is needed because the lack of information has necessitated having our team depend more heavily on Cohesity support."
"The rack mounting instructions did not appear to be correct, but we were able to overcome it."
"The one area where we would like to see additional improvements is with reporting. There are very granular reports from each grid. There are also some built-in reports within Helios (SAS Management Console) that offers basic reporting. However, for complex, large-enterprise environments, a more robust reporting engine that supports detailed audit reporting and enhanced ad hoc reports would be welcome."
"In terms of the product itself, there have been a handful of patches that have had to be applied outside of the GUI via the command line. It's very straightforward and easy and in the same redundant fashion, but not quite as simple as one or two clicks. I'm hoping that will decrease going forward."
"The solution has a more complex setup than Veritas and Veeam."
"The support is pretty bad."
"The support team sometimes takes a long time to resolve issues, although, in our experience, these have been specific things like SQL blobs."
"The solution's technical support should be faster."
"They could provide more options for storage capacity."
"The user interface of HPE StoreOnce should be more user-friendly. Additionally, the configuration and troubleshooting could be better."
"Cloud integration needs to be simplified."
"The web interface, ease of use, and GUI all need to be improved."
"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 solution's pricing could be improved."
"HPE should have more options so customers can choose from a wide range of products with small to big capacities."
