"I like the tool set, it's easy to work on and the support is brilliant."
"It cuts down network traffic, and only the relevant parts move around because it is deduced and encrypted."
"It's stable and reliable."
"The functionality is very good. DD Boost and DD entry replication are used in almost all backup concepts. Those are the most used features."
"The solution is very good because it is easy to use and it speeds up the backup and lowers the requirement for the storage rate. It is capable of encryption, compression, and deduplication and it is fast for sending all of the data over the network because it sends only the change blocks from the client to the DD server."
"Operationally, we are satisfied as there have been no issues or closures to report."
"The dependable protocol and stability of DD Boost are its most valuable characteristics. We encountered no connectivity issues when connecting the backup appliance to DD Boost, and we received no customer complaints about this aspect. Primarily, the smooth communication and connectivity between the server and storage were the main strengths."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"PowerProtect is a flexible solution that you can cover various cloud and on-premise environments."
"The tool's performance is very good. DD Boost can improve its performance and backup."
"The solution is very stable."
"The most important feature is the level of data compression provided by Dell EMC. It's a leader in data compression and deduplication, and the level of compression isn't available with any other vendors in the market."
"I find the data to be most valuable."
"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."
"This is a superior and reliable backup system that can handle large capacities with little management."
"The hardware can operate in high temperatures, in case of any disaster."
"The initial setup is one of the most user-friendly B2B user solutions. It's good, it's easy. Deployment usually takes less than one day. You only need one person for deployment and maintenance."
"The product’s data retention is very good."
"Currently, VTLs can only be created on individual service sets and cannot be used to share the resources of other nodes."
"Has very good deduplication and encryption features."
"The interface is very user-friendly."
"The implementation is straightforward."
"The most valuable feature of HPE StoreOnce is the virtual drive."
"It is a very scalable solution."
"The solution needs a better gateway between the on-premises and cloud deployment models. We have to work around it or find a third party to assist."
"This product is expensive compared to other storage so the price can be improved."
"The solution could improve by adding more flexibility for the customers here in Thailand. Some of the small capacity models of the solution are not needed by our customers. There should be a more flexible version of the solution."
"The solution doesn't scale. If you hit your capacity, you need to buy a new device."
"The experience of restoring VMware or Veeam Backup is difficult, when the backup you are using is a solution for backup, which is already having a deduplication. When you try to restore from Data Domain, it doesn't work perfectly, because Data Domain is already having a deduplication as well."
"The solution could always be cheaper."
"Though the customer uses the product, they don't receive active support from DD Boost even though they pay for it."
"It should be expanded to include other databases and software. It should also be made easier to restore."
"The product lacks some security features that would make it more stand-alone and integrated."
"I would like to see some kind of integration with the ransomware in the next release."
"We would like faster instant recovery."
"First-time integrations are difficult in NetWorker. NetWorker software needs to be simplified. It's very complex."
"It helps if you have in-depth knowledge in order to use it correctly."
"It could be more secure."
"The tool's DD Boost is expensive."
"The pricing could be better, but it's still not too expensive."
"The solution must provide backup options for smaller capacities."
"HPE StoreOnce needs to be made cheaper than products from Dell and Veeam."
"I would like to see an emphasis placed on making data deduplication and compression more powerful."
"The user interface of HPE StoreOnce is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The setup phase is not so simple that an end user can plug and play to make it operational."
"The repository should have an extension to connect to the cloud and deposit the backups."
"Its customer service could be faster."
"We're outsourced with a partner who recalls a larger amount of problems with the stability of the product."
