We performed a comparison between Dell Avamar 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 image backups and file backups."
"Dell Avamar has a push upgrade feature that lets you simultaneously push updates to thousands of clients. I also found the self-service part of Dell Avamar helpful."
"We are talking about a complete end-to-end solution which comes with its own hardware storage to back up the data on tape-less."
"For the on-prem backup, it has all the necessary features that we require. They keep coming up with new scripts and new updates."
"The most valuable features are scalability and integration."
"It works quickly and is very stable."
"Dell EMC Avamar is very good with endpoint backups."
"The source site replication feature is valuable."
"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."
"It's easy to backup data, manage. A"
"It is a very scalable solution."
"Quick recovery."
"Catalyst backup is used to back up Oracle databases, and provides very good throughput during backups."
"Has very good deduplication and encryption features."
"I'm impressed with their support structure, call availability, understanding, flexibility in scheduling remote sessions, and accommodating customer timeframes."
"The speed and deduplication ratio are two of the most valuable features of the solution."
"The user interface still needs to have some level of improvement. It could be more user-friendly and intuitive."
"It's very slow to backup and store information. It has two consoles and an application which are more difficult to use than a solution like Veeam."
"It's an expensive solution."
"The licensing model is not very flexible. Every time we upgrade our storage size, we need to upgrade the Avamar license."
"I would like to see better integration with third-party applications and platforms."
"This solution could improve by introducing daily verifications and another repository."
"Avamar is still competitive because of the way we have deployed it, but we need to diversify and shift away from specific technologies. In addition to hypervisors, virtual machines, and bare metal servers, our customers need protection for Microsoft 365, SaaS, and the public cloud, so we need other technologies in the business to cater to those customers' needs. Those are the enhancements we would want from the Avamar platform, but that's not likely to happen. Dell has PowerProtect and Apex backup services. There are other Dell solutions that we'll use to fulfill our customers' requirements."
"The solution could be a bit easier to use in the sense that they need to make it simpler to backup products and restore items."
"HPE should have more options so customers can choose from a wide range of products with small to big capacities."
"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."
"The user interface of HPE StoreOnce is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"HPE StoreOnce needs to be made cheaper than products from Dell and Veeam."
"The setup phase is not so simple that an end user can plug and play to make it operational."
"The appliance doesn't have the global deduplication, it has StoreOnce deduplication. It does not deduplicate across the appliance, it will deduplicate in one particular store. With the global deduplication, I could store more data."
"I don't see any new features that we could want or anything that could be done along those lines. Just that we need a bigger machine, so more speed."
"One item I wanted to see is SSD drives as a cache, and that was, for a time, still lacking in StoreOnce, however, they have done it now. It's not available yet, however, it will be shortly."
