We performed a comparison between Dell PowerProtect DD and HPE StoreOnce based on our users’ reviews in five categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: PowerProtect DD is the winner in this comparison. It is powerful and secure with a proven ROI. StoreOnce does come out on top in the ease of deployment category, however.
"It's very competitive in terms of the price and technology. Also, the development team continuously makes updates. The data reduction feature is very useful."
"The solution is very stable."
"The most valuable feature is the inline data deduplication."
"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."
"The stability is excellent."
"Stable and scalable suite of solutions with deduplication, apart from data protection, storage, and backup."
"The feature that I have found most useful is its data duplication."
"The deduplication feature is the most valuable part of the solution."
"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."
"The initial setup is simple."
"It is very easy to implement."
"I think the most valuable feature is the catalyst technology, which is in the StoreOnce appliance."
"The solution's licensing policy is more practical and not confusing."
"Catalyst backup is used to back up Oracle databases, and provides very good throughput during backups."
"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."
"Technical support is quite good."
"The tool's pricing could be cheaper."
"The price could be a little cheaper than it is now."
"Its management can be improved."
"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 pricing could be better, but it's still not too expensive."
"It could be more secure."
"The initial setup is complex."
"Technical support needs improvement."
"It is difficult to solve issues with this solution remotely. I prefer to use the knowledge base platforms. The response time could improve."
"Agnostic backups."
"While StoreOnce has many features, it needs to focus on integrating with third-party backup software solutions."
"HPE StoreOnce could improve the capacity support."
"HPE StoreOnce needs to be made cheaper than products from Dell and Veeam."
"The web interface, ease of use, and GUI all need to be improved."
"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."
"The solution would be improved if it could also be used as a data store for VMware."
