"Catalyst backup is used to back up Oracle databases, and provides very good throughput during backups."
"Technical support is quite good."
"The tool's most valuable features are ease of use, ease of access, expandability, availability, and performance. NVMe drives have improved their performance."
"Better performance and lower costs."
"Fast Snapshots"
"Other products lose performance over time, but NetApp OS is speed-optimized."
"It has integrated snapshot and backup capability."
"At the moment, we use NetApp SnapMirror to replicate data to another filer at an offsite location for backup. So, I like this feature."
"The most valuable feature of the NetApp FAS Series is its stability."
"It's a stable product. No issues there."
"Hardware maintenance involves some downtime for backup destination storage which can be a problem for some."
"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 latency is a bit high."
"We archive our backups on tape, so I feel like if we could somehow plug our tape drive directly into the StoreOnce device and set it up to where it would archive based on, if some kind of rules based engine or what have you, that would really be an improvement for us."
"Its customer service could be faster."
"The solution would be improved if it could also be used as a data store for VMware."
"In terms of areas for improvement, I believe HPE StoreOnce could learn from competitors like Dell's Data Domain and ExtraHop in refining its architecture."
"NetApp systems are somewhat more complex, though not excessively so. If you're transitioning from a Windows server environment to NetApp, get training or education; otherwise, you might struggle with this solution."
"The AutoSupport could be improved to be more proactive in certain cases."
"There are some technical limitations, but it would be great to have in-line deduplication and in-line compression for the FAS series as well."
"No other area for improvement comes to mind other than its price. Making the price more attractive will help this solution have a bigger market share."
"The solution could do more than just data."
"The high cost of the product is an area of concern, so from an improvement perspective, the tool needs to be made cheaper."
"The high cost of the product is an area of concern, so from an improvement perspective, the tool needs to be made cheaper."
"The product should improve its user experience."
