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 tool's most valuable features are backup management and speed."
"Easy to configure and highly reliable for backup."
"The entire system operates seamlessly, with minimal hands-on involvement, allowing us to focus on monitoring rather than constant adjustments or deployments, as seen in larger, more dynamic environments."
"Centralization is Avamar's biggest advantage. It moves data to a central location from various geographical locations."
"The stability of Dell EMC Avamar is very good."
"For the on-prem backup, it has all the necessary features that we require. They keep coming up with new scripts and new updates."
"We've found the product to be stable."
"The product is good for backups."
"HPE StoreOnce works well, it is stable."
"I'm impressed with their support structure, call availability, understanding, flexibility in scheduling remote sessions, and accommodating customer timeframes."
"Deduplication is the most valuable feature."
"Technical support is quite good."
"Has very good deduplication and encryption features."
"The most valuable features are the deduplication and compression capabilities."
"Deduplication and compression are in a good ratio. It supports the HPE Catalyst protocol, which is much faster than NFS and other protocols. We use CommVault and Veeam, and these two solutions support the Catalyst protocol very well and are integrated at high speed. It is faster than normal access."
"The valuable feature is the ability to work with the Veeam software to reduce the backup windows."
"It would be helpful if there was cloud support."
"The initial setup is a bit complex and could be simpler."
"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."
"The interface could be more helpful for people."
"The recovery is a bit slow."
"The screen design is a bit back-dated."
"I think they could also move more towards cloud solutions. It already has some cloud tiering, but I think that could be more extensive. They should work with all cloud providers and I think in the future they will be on all cloud platforms."
"It would be helpful if the product offered more integration potential."
"The solution must provide backup options for smaller capacities."
"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."
"When it comes to upgrading, it always goes block-wise. One block is 48 TB raw capacity. It would be good if they can include a smaller capacity for SMB customers. Currently, it is not possible to increase in a smaller capacity. You have to buy the exact same unit. It would be great if they can provide a smaller next block. There are around 20 hard disks, and it would be really helpful if we can add 10 hard disks initially and 10 hard disks later."
"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."
"The solution would be improved if it could also be used as a data store for VMware."
"The web interface, ease of use, and GUI all need to be improved."
"The product's price could be better."
"The setup phase is not so simple that an end user can plug and play to make it operational."
