Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, NetApp and others in Deduplication Software."This product's unique protocol make it superior to competing products and alternate solutions."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is deduplication."
"The solution can scale."
"The solution is quite scalable. An organization shouldn't have any problem expanding if they use this solution."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it can support both the CIFS and NFS protocols simultaneously."
"The tool's deployment was easy."
"I like the tool set, it's easy to work on and the support is brilliant."
"The solution is very easy to manage. That's its most valuable feature."
"I think the most valuable feature is the catalyst technology, which is in the StoreOnce appliance."
"HPE StoreOnce is an easy-to-use tool."
"Catalyst backup is used to back up Oracle databases, and provides very good throughput during backups."
"Technical support is quite good."
"The most valuable feature of HPE StoreOnce is the virtual drive."
"The product’s data retention is very good."
"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."
"It is very easy to implement."
"It's so easy to work with."
"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."
"Being able to move data seamlessly from one-premise to the cloud (Azure). It works great. The backup solution is perfect for us."
"The solution is very easy to use and it offers great support."
"The most valuable feature is the portability of large archived data. You're able to put things on large on-prem, low-cost storage and then augment that with even lower cost storage in the cloud."
"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."
"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 solution could always be cheaper."
"This solution should cover more platforms, and there should be more product coverage."
"The solution must provide better deduplication."
"It should be expanded to include other databases and software. It should also be made easier to restore."
"I'd like the be able to deploy the solution on SAN backups."
"My customer was interested in ransomware protection. Currently, Dell offers the Cyber Vault solution, which is separate from Data Domain. Ideally, ransomware protection would be integrated directly within DD Boost, without requiring an additional out-of-the-box solution. This feature is currently available with HPE's Zerto and Huawei's Ocean Protect with third-party products like PradoNet. While Cyber Vault exists as a separate solution from Data Domain, having some standard protection for immutable backups into DD Boost would be a valuable addition and make it more competitive with other vendors."
"Connectivity with the cloud and on-premises needs improved gateways."
"The solution doesn't scale. If you hit your capacity, you need to buy a new device."
"The solution could always be less expensive."
"I would like to see better integration with Veeam software."
"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."
"It is difficult to solve issues with this solution remotely. I prefer to use the knowledge base platforms. The response time could improve."
"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."
"The web interface, ease of use, and GUI all need to be improved."
"The repository should have an extension to connect to the cloud and deposit the backups."
"The user interface of HPE StoreOnce is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"It would be nice if the solution was more complete. Many customers are looking for a single solution or silo that they can manage everything from. It would be nice, instead of having different products, if everything a client needed was in one solution."
"It's a good product, but it's becoming outdated and moving to their other primary architecture."
"More capacity with the basic model of the AltaVault would probably help out."
"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."
"The solution needs faster indexing."
"I really want to partner it with the SnapCenter. We haven't implemented that yet. We're upgrading all of our stuff to the ONTAP 9, which you had to have."
"I would like to see more web support."
