Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, NetApp and others in Deduplication Software."It is a stable solution."
"This is a superior and reliable backup system that can handle large capacities with little management."
"The solution is very stable."
"Data Domain is an excellent repository that's compatible with a lot of different solutions. Even Veeam Backup recommends sending backup to Data Domain. Space optimization is great. Currently, it guarantees 50-to-1 compression of the application in the same device. In all these years, I never had a client who was unsatisfied with Data Domain. It is a solid appliance with VMware integration, instant access to restore and search, and analytics."
"The feature that I have found most useful is its data duplication."
"9900 has around 1.5 petabits of capacity in a single rack, and that's huge."
"Good starting capacity and scalability."
"It is very fast as compared to the other competitors. Its simplicity and bit rate are also valuable. It takes less time if we compare it with the old solution that we have."
"For us, the initial setup was easy."
"It is an inexpensive storage solution."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The most valuable feature of Dell PowerVault is its performance."
"The storage has been good."
"I like the tool's CloudIQ feature."
"The most valuable features are that it's easy to set up PowerVault. I also like the provisioning of storage."
"PowerVault comes with free software that performs functions like data deduplication and replication, which is cost-effective and delivers added value to the product."
"The interface is very user-friendly."
"HPE StoreOnce works well, it is stable."
"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 scalability is very good."
"Catalyst backup is used to back up Oracle databases, and provides very good throughput during backups."
"From a centralized system, I can manage the interface, the backup policies, and the status of the database."
"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 pricing could be lower."
"They should reduce the CPC cost to customers. The product is becoming very expensive."
"It helps if you have in-depth knowledge in order to use it correctly."
"Dell PowerProtect DD should come out with its own system so we do not have to use Data Domain. For example, something similar to what Symantec has done."
"The downside of PowerProtect's flexibility is that you have so many options. It can be a little confusing. It's like having a car with too many buttons on the dash. You can do so much with it, but it takes some time to learn what everything does."
"The pricing could be better, but it's still not too expensive."
"The pricing model needs to be improved."
"We would like to see the price of this solution brought down to be comparable with similar products currently on the market."
"The implementation process takes a while."
"The product could support an NVMe hard disk."
"The price of the solution could be lower."
"I would like to see improvements made to the user interface."
"The product is generally stable, but there have been instances, to my knowledge, where we faced issues in the controller during software upgrades. The availability is not at the desired level during these upgrade processes, as we sometimes need to shut down both controllers. This could be an area for improvement."
"The tool needs to improve its UI."
"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."
"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 user interface of HPE StoreOnce should be more user-friendly. Additionally, the configuration and troubleshooting could be better."
"Its customer service could be faster."
"The web interface, ease of use, and GUI all need to be improved."
"The product's price could be better."
"HPE StoreOnce needs to provide a SaaS solution by offering high-density disks."
"The product could be improved with better support for data protection."
