Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, NetApp and others in Deduplication Software."Quick recovery."
"The valuable feature is the ability to work with the Veeam software to reduce the backup windows."
"The product's most valuable feature is stability."
"Catalyst backup is used to back up Oracle databases, and provides very good throughput during backups."
"The implementation is straightforward."
"Has very good deduplication and encryption features."
"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."
"The product’s data retention is very good."
"It gives us the ability to locate and restore critical files which users may have intentionally or unknowing deleted a while ago."
"Synthetic backup is valuable. It gives you the possibility to do a synthesized backup, which means that it combines a full backup and incremental backup data and gives it to you in one stream. So, you don't have to restore the full backup and then later go and restore the incremental backup. You can do that in one go."
"The solution is stable."
"It is a scalable product."
"The disk-to-disk paid backup feature is quite good, and file locking is a very important feature."
"This solution is not complex and you do not have to be too technical to use it."
"The interface, dashboard, and pricing are all perfect."
"I have not seen another backup solution as scalable as this one."
"We're outsourced with a partner who recalls a larger amount of problems with the stability of the product."
"It is difficult to solve issues with this solution remotely. I prefer to use the knowledge base platforms. The response time could improve."
"HPE should have more options so customers can choose from a wide range of products with small to big capacities."
"HPE StoreOnce needs to provide a SaaS solution by offering high-density disks."
"While StoreOnce has many features, it needs to focus on integrating with third-party backup software solutions."
"The solution's technical support should be faster."
"The user interface of HPE StoreOnce should be more user-friendly. Additionally, the configuration and troubleshooting could be better."
"The solution's pricing could be improved."
"The integration with SaaS applications like Office 365 needs to be improved."
"There still a lot of room for improvement in synthetic technologies, especially when targeted to deduplication media."
"There's one common issue with tape backups: the tape might have some space left, but Backup Exec says it's not writable and needs replacement. We've encountered this with multiple clients, so it doesn't seem environment-specific. It's likely related to the software. We usually just format the tape and use it again without much investigation."
"It is currently missing the dynamic backup feature for virtual machines, which is available in NetWorker. I can create politics in NetWorker to add virtual machines with specific tags, but I cannot do this in Backup Exec, which is a minus point for me. Currently, a user has to send a request to the Backup administrator to add a machine to the backup, but I should be able to create rules to automatically add a new machine to the backup. This kind of functionality is very important in current times, especially when we are using cloud solutions. I should be able to create more than one stream in a policy and specify how many streams I want to run in parallel in one policy. Currently, I have to manually create more policies to backup more than one virtual machine at the same time. Their support can also be improved in terms of response time."
"There are some issues with the Backup Exec Library and the random picking of tapes."
"The price of this solution is very high."
"Maybe they could improve reporting capabilities and predictions."
"Currently, the solution does not have the capability to restore a single mailbox, so you lose a lot of time having to restore for example ten mailboxes just to recover one."
