We performed a comparison between DD Boost and HPE StoreOnce 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."The most valuable features are the performance and the duplication."
"The solution is very good because it is easy to use and it speeds up the backup and lowers the requirement for the storage rate. It is capable of encryption, compression, and deduplication and it is fast for sending all of the data over the network because it sends only the change blocks from the client to the DD server."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is deduplication."
"Data Domain is valuable, especially to restore data. For normal data, the restore from Data Domain is very efficient and fast."
"The tool's deployment was easy."
"It cuts down network traffic, and only the relevant parts move around because it is deduced and encrypted."
"The solution is very easy to manage. That's its most valuable feature."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"The solution is stable."
"The interface is very user-friendly."
"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."
"The deduplication feature in this product is amazing."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that the tool provides good value for somebody who needs an affordable and reliable storage solution."
"HPE StoreOnce works well, it is stable."
"Quick recovery."
"HPE StoreOnce has high performance."
"Integration could be better."
"It would be nice if they could have the same tool set right from the smallest to the biggest modules, but being specific frame dependent."
"It should be expanded to include other databases and software. It should also be made easier to restore."
"The solution could be faster."
"The solution could improve by adding more flexibility for the customers here in Thailand. Some of the small capacity models of the solution are not needed by our customers. There should be a more flexible version of the solution."
"The experience of restoring VMware or Veeam Backup is difficult, when the backup you are using is a solution for backup, which is already having a deduplication. When you try to restore from Data Domain, it doesn't work perfectly, because Data Domain is already having a deduplication as well."
"There are some limitations where you cannot use it as a shared server or as a file server, it is limited for the only backup."
"The solution must provide better deduplication."
"The web interface, ease of use, and GUI all need to be improved."
"The solution would be improved if it could also be used as a data store for VMware."
"The latency is a bit high."
"The solution's technical support should be faster."
"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."
"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 should continue to refine its integration capabilities. I also see they are starting to use cloud integration as well, which is good, but they should do more to integrate with it."
"It is difficult to solve issues with this solution remotely. I prefer to use the knowledge base platforms. The response time could improve."
