We performed a comparison between Dell PowerVault, HPE StoreOnce, and NetApp AltaVault based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, Dell Technologies, Hewlett Packard Enterprise and others in Enterprise SAN."The most valuable features are stability and response time."
"Dell PowerVault offers valuable full flash storage."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it is easy to manage and easy to use."
"It is an inexpensive storage solution."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The solution is reliable and stable."
"The most valuable feature of Dell PowerVault is its ability to provide small to medium-range storage. It doesn't have any specific standout features, but it's great for applications, such as surveillance where a large number of videos need to be recorded and performance isn't a priority."
"The Dell warranty is the most valuable feature."
"It results in more efficient storage utilization, cutting capital expenditure in half."
"This is a user-friendly solution."
"From a centralized system, I can manage the interface, the backup policies, and the status of the database."
"The valuable feature is the ability to work with the Veeam software to reduce the backup windows."
"The solution is stable."
"I think the most valuable feature is the catalyst technology, which is in the StoreOnce appliance."
"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 feature of the solution is that the tool provides good value for somebody who needs an affordable and reliable storage solution."
"Most importantly is having that island into that datacenter, and being able to address things in the same console. Thus, it is irrelevant where it's stored."
"The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that it is easy to use and integrate with whichever operating systems you use, providing you with a complete view, especially when you plan to migrate to some other operating system."
"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."
"The deduplication engine. Right now, we're at about 10.5 to 11 times deduplication of our backup data."
"The solution can be used for all Office 365 applications."
"The solution is very easy to use and it offers great support."
"It's so easy to work with."
"You can store backups for a while."
"PowerVault doesn't integrate with Active Directory. Other storage solutions offer SAN and NAS unified storage in a single appliance, but PowerVault is only SAN."
"The implementation process takes a while."
"In the next release, I would like the deduplication and compression included, as well as the flash technology. It doesn't currently use it."
"There have been situations when our customers requested professional support and the price of that feature is quite high."
"The product could support an NVMe hard disk."
"The high prices of the solution are an area of concern where improvements are required."
"We need higher performance and more reliable storage."
"If the solution came with a synchronous application, it would be particularly advantageous for small businesses operating across multiple sites."
"The web interface, ease of use, and GUI all need to be improved."
"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."
"HPE StoreOnce could improve the capacity support."
"Agnostic backups."
"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."
"We would like to see some improvements in the Veeam Backup & Replication integration. It's good, but it has a lot of room to improve. In particular around the inability to easily move data between StoreOnce appliances."
"While StoreOnce has many features, it needs to focus on integrating with third-party backup software solutions."
"It is difficult to solve issues with this solution remotely. I prefer to use the knowledge base platforms. The response time could improve."
"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."
"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 would like to see more web support."
"The initial setup phase of the tool was difficult."
"The solution needs faster indexing."
"It's a good product, but it's becoming outdated and moving to their other primary architecture."
"NetApp's own competing products complicate things."
