HPE StoreOnce and Dell PowerProtect Data Manager are prominent in the data deduplication and data management market. While both present strong features, HPE StoreOnce seems to have the upper hand due to its scalable deduplication technology and seamless integration with existing HPE infrastructure.
Features: HPE StoreOnce offers flexible deduplication locations, allowing deduplication at the client, backup appliance, or media servers. It integrates well with existing HPE solutions like 3PAR and Data Protector. The product enables significant storage savings, reducing backup data storage by up to 95%. Dell PowerProtect Data Manager supports robust protection for container and Kubernetes environments. It provides an integrated platform for data protection and offers high flexibility with powerful backup and recovery features.
Room for Improvement: HPE StoreOnce could enhance its deduplication algorithms and improve integration with third-party applications. Users also want an easier setup process and better reporting options. Dell PowerProtect Data Manager needs to improve first-level support, expand integration capabilities, and refine its user interface. Streamlining management across hybrid infrastructures is also desired by users.
Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: HPE StoreOnce is typically deployed on-premises with some hybrid cloud usage. Its customer service is positive but can improve in response times. Dell PowerProtect Data Manager also sees primary on-premises deployment with hybrid cloud options. While having a good support reputation, there is a call for more integration options and increased flexibility. HPE's broader support services potentially offer faster issue resolution.
Pricing and ROI: HPE StoreOnce is considered expensive, mainly due to licensing and necessary capacity. Despite operational savings, users desire lower upfront costs and clearer pricing structures. Dell PowerProtect Data Manager is perceived as competitively priced with flexible licensing models based on storage needs. Both solutions present strong ROI, particularly in operational efficiency and storage savings.
