Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, NetApp and others in Deduplication Software."We also really benefit from the GUI capabilities."
"From a centralized system, I can manage the interface, the backup policies, and the status of the database."
"Currently, VTLs can only be created on individual service sets and cannot be used to share the resources of other nodes."
"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."
"Quick recovery."
"The product's most valuable feature is stability."
"It's easy to backup data, manage. A"
"HPE StoreOnce is an easy-to-use tool."
"Micro Focus Data Protector's most valuable feature is its interaction with the fiber share. It is easy to use, we use it to back up without any problem to VTLs, and can use the Fiber Channel that is still the TCP."
"Deduplication implementation with CAPA is very good."
"The solution is easy to use."
"Regarding scalability, it's unlimited with Data Protector. You can link multiple installations and let them work together. They can share backup devices. You have many possibilities with Data Protector. It's very proficient."
"It's supports Unix, Linux, all of the OS's. It's very stable software."
"Performs the backup properly and protects our data."
"The solution is easy to use."
"If you have an idea of what you are doing, it's very flexible and very stable."
"The product could be improved with better support for data protection."
"While StoreOnce has many features, it needs to focus on integrating with third-party backup software solutions."
"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 solution must provide backup options for smaller capacities."
"The GUI and its user-friendliness have some room for improvement."
"HPE StoreOnce needs to be made cheaper than products from Dell and Veeam."
"HPE StoreOnce needs to provide a SaaS solution by offering high-density disks."
"The solution's pricing could be improved."
"The new backup systems are using new mechanisms for the recovery phases; for example, VM, recovery and testing the backup before recovering it. These features are not available in Data Protector."
"In general, you can say that Micro Focus Data Protector is behind in capabilities when compared with other backup solutions, such as Commvault, Symantec, NetBackup, but it is very strong for certain use cases such as array integration. We are using it in production even now. There should be some kind of cloud integration and archiving solutions. I think this is the area they need to focus on."
"Many of our users complain about the GUI. You still need to rely on the command line interface. Because it originated as a Unix system, Data Protector is still a command line-driven solution, which makes it seem rather dated compared to systems that are built around a GUI from day one. It doesn't affect the functionality, but some people don't find it user-friendly."
"Micro Focus Data Protector must improve its overall evolution record. They need to focus on hardware based instant recovery, client recovery, and cloud ability. Now there is no cloud ability."
"It can occasionally be inaccurate in its backup/recovery time estimates."
"We're not satisfied with the robustness and stability of the software since Micro Focus took it in-house. The GUI is one thing they could improve. It's still a bit archaic. Data Protector needs a more functional, user-friendly GUI."
"The technical support was very slow."
"This solution is not scalable."
