Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, NetApp and others in Deduplication Software."The speed and deduplication ratio are two of the most valuable features of the solution."
"I'm impressed with their support structure, call availability, understanding, flexibility in scheduling remote sessions, and accommodating customer timeframes."
"The valuable feature is the ability to work with the Veeam software to reduce the backup windows."
"The product’s data retention is very good."
"We also really benefit from the GUI capabilities."
"I think StoreOnce's deduplication technology is crucial for cost efficiency and faster recovery, especially for backup and data protection purposes."
"The most valuable feature of HPE StoreOnce is the virtual drive."
"Has very good deduplication and encryption features."
"They have a great PowerShell module and easy mediums to speak to the people who create and enhance them."
"Rubrik is a very scalable and high-performing backup restore solution."
"The solution's technical support team is very responsive and proactive."
"Rubrik has led to improvement by reducing the amount of failed backups, leading to a reduced workload in IT operations."
"It works with VMware and Hyper-V without agent installation."
"It has also saved us time managing backups. It's pretty stable. So it sends us a report if something goes wrong, then you get a report. You don't really need to manually monitor this software over time. If something happens, you'll get an error and you'll get an email notification and then address it. We found the product pretty stable if it's configured correctly. So it has reduced management time."
"When it comes to saving time managing our backups, Rubrik has saved us a lot of time compared to what we were using. It feels like it has saved us lifetimes of time because the process used to be difficult. It's not just the day to time savings. When something goes wrong, that's where the real time savings comes into play. We are able to get back to where we need to be more confidently and with much fewer steps."
"The most valuable feature is the Instant Recovery, where we can restore a VM or SQL database or any server or application, and have it up and running on their appliance within a few seconds."
"The product could be improved with better support for data protection."
"HPE should have more options so customers can choose from a wide range of products with small to big capacities."
"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 must provide backup options for smaller capacities."
"The repository should have an extension to connect to the cloud and deposit the backups."
"Cloud integration needs to be simplified."
"Hardware maintenance involves some downtime for backup destination storage which can be a problem for some."
"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 only thing that can be improved is catering for open source databases because at the moment it doesn't cater for Mongo, MySQL, and Postgres."
"There is room for improvement through a further extension of their Office 365 backup platform. In addition, it's still a bit cost-prohibitive to backup NAS. Those would be the two primary areas for improvement."
"It needs to support more applications natively, like MySQL/MariaDB."
"The Polaris piece could use improvement. When you get a report and you have events that are suspicious, you cannot drill down and find out why it's suspicious. You only know it's suspicious, but you don't know the root cause. Other than that, everything works well."
"I would like for unmanaged backups to be able to be saved in a separate policy."
"The integrated reporting is not really that nicely built. The reporting functionality could definitely be a little bit more customizable from an administration perspective, with an easier to understand interface."
"In terms of what could be improved with Rubrik, we need to improve the backup for remote sites. The competitors are stronger in terms of their remote office back up. Rubrik needs to improve to be stronger for backup. This is the main thing."
"Needs integration with video CD (coming in the next release) and a multi-tenant GUI."
