We performed a comparison between HPE StoreOnce and NetApp AltaVault 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."I like the tool’s deduplication feature. We get a ratio of 9:1 for deduplication. The product is also Linux based. Last year, our organization faced some virus attacks. However, the backup was safe because of the product being a Linux version. HPE StoreOnce is a secure product."
"If you have a large enough storage capacity then you can take an ample amount of data."
"The deduplication feature in this product is amazing."
"The most valuable feature of HPE StoreOnce is the virtual drive."
"I'm impressed with their support structure, call availability, understanding, flexibility in scheduling remote sessions, and accommodating customer timeframes."
"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."
"We also really benefit from the GUI capabilities."
"The solution's licensing policy is more practical and not confusing."
"The deduplication engine. Right now, we're at about 10.5 to 11 times deduplication of our backup data."
"It's so easy to work with."
"The solution can be used for all Office 365 applications."
"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 most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that it is easy to use and integrate with whichever operating systems you use, providing you with a complete view, especially when you plan to migrate to some other operating system."
"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."
"You can store backups for a while."
"The solution is very easy to use and it offers great support."
"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."
"They could provide more options for storage capacity."
"The user interface of HPE StoreOnce should be more user-friendly. Additionally, the configuration and troubleshooting could be better."
"HPE StoreOnce could improve the capacity support."
"Agnostic backups."
"I would like to see an emphasis placed on making data deduplication and compression more powerful."
"The product could be improved with better support for data protection."
"The product's price could be better."
"More capacity with the basic model of the AltaVault would probably help out."
"The solution needs faster indexing."
"NetApp's own competing products complicate things."
"It's a good product, but it's becoming outdated and moving to their other primary architecture."
"I would like to see more web support."
"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."
"The initial setup phase of the tool was difficult."
"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."
