We performed a comparison between Dell PowerProtect DD (Data Domain), HPE StoreOnce, and NetApp FAS Series based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, NetApp and others in Deduplication Software.
"The most valuable feature is the inline data deduplication."
"The initial setup was straightforward. Deployment takes about two weeks."
"Our clients like the wide range of features that are available within this single solution."
"The solution is very scalable."
"Dell PowerProtect DD’s most valuable feature is data deduplication."
"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."
"The compression aspect of the solution is great."
"The product, a disk backup solution, improves our data application tasks. We used tape libraries with Dev drives in legacy architectures, resulting in slow backups compared to modern drives like NVMe and SSDs. By transitioning to NVMe and SSDs, backups have become much faster. The tool's backup restoration is faster compared to other tools."
"We also really benefit from the GUI capabilities."
"The implementation is straightforward."
"It's easy to backup data, manage. A"
"The scalability is very good."
"The most valuable features are the deduplication and compression capabilities."
"Technical support is quite good."
"Currently, VTLs can only be created on individual service sets and cannot be used to share the resources of other nodes."
"The solution saves a lot of storage capacity."
"Better performance and lower costs."
"The product is user-friendly and helps to evaluate the performance of each node. It ensures that if one node encounters an issue, the system can immediately redistribute the workload without interruptions. This setup provides uninterrupted operation for our systems."
"We can manage our applications from a single dashboard."
"I like the unified management feature because sometimes you end up running a single protocol on the entire system."
"Data consolidation and visualization."
"The SnapMirror is a good tool because, as long as you're going NetApp to NetApp, it's ultimately the fastest way to move data. We replicate everything to another site for disaster recovery."
"The file sharing feature is most valuable."
"Has rock solid reliability and is easy to use."
"Its management can be improved."
"The licensing is not cost-effective, and the pricing could be better."
"We have some problems with backing up on the Power Platform. PowerServer is an IBM product, and it forces us to back up over LAN, which is not suitable for us."
"It can probably have integration with other OEMs. It should also have more features for ransomware protection."
"They need to make migration easier."
"They should reduce the CPC cost to customers. The product is becoming very expensive."
"EMC is very expensive for small customers."
"When you use Data Domain, you have to have at least 20% free space so it can work properly. Sometimes we struggle with that, because we wanted to use all the free space, but then Data Domain becomes really slow. I understand that 20% is needed to process all the data, and doing the duplication and compression and all that, but it would be a big improvement if they did not require that 20%, because it is just too much to have available."
"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 latency is a bit high."
"The product could be improved with better support for data protection."
"I would like to see better integration with Veeam software."
"The solution could always be less expensive."
"Cloud integration needs to be simplified."
"We archive our backups on tape, so I feel like if we could somehow plug our tape drive directly into the StoreOnce device and set it up to where it would archive based on, if some kind of rules based engine or what have you, that would really be an improvement for us."
"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."
"They should add new features to the product."
"The user interface could be improved."
"The high cost of the product is an area of concern, so from an improvement perspective, the tool needs to be made cheaper."
"Needs to improve the adaptive storage quality of service."
"NetApp FAS Series should introduce an FTP application for the broadcast and post-production market."
"NetApp is costly when compared to Dell."
"Dedicated storage efficiency accelerators could improve the overall performance of the system."
"Cost is always a factor. Some people choose EMC or Dell because they perceive NetApp as being more expensive."
