We performed a comparison between DD Boost and HPE StoreOnce based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Deduplication Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI.
"The most valuable feature of this solution is deduplication."
"The solution is quite scalable. An organization shouldn't have any problem expanding if they use this solution."
"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."
"The time taken for backup is very fast."
"Very stable solution."
"It's stable and reliable."
"The tool's deployment was easy."
"Operationally, we are satisfied as there have been no issues or closures to report."
"We also really benefit from the GUI capabilities."
"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."
"Quick recovery."
"It is very easy to implement."
"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 solution's licensing policy is more practical and not confusing."
"Currently, VTLs can only be created on individual service sets and cannot be used to share the resources of other nodes."
"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."
"If you are using it with Recovery Manager, there are certain limitations. If those limitations are addressed, productivity will improve."
"There are some limitations where you cannot use it as a shared server or as a file server, it is limited for the only backup."
"The solution doesn't scale. If you hit your capacity, you need to buy a new device."
"This solution should cover more platforms, and there should be more product coverage."
"Integration could be better."
"The product has low capacity."
"When my company faced a problem with the product, it took some time to get proper support."
"Though the customer uses the product, they don't receive active support from DD Boost even though they pay for 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."
"We're outsourced with a partner who recalls a larger amount of problems with the stability of the product."
"The solution must provide backup options for smaller capacities."
"The repository should have an extension to connect to the cloud and deposit the backups."
"The latency is a bit high."
"In terms of areas for improvement, I believe HPE StoreOnce could learn from competitors like Dell's Data Domain and ExtraHop in refining its architecture."
"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."
