Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, NetApp and others in Deduplication Software."The solution's most valuable feature is its catalyst mode, along with better performance, backup, and recovery."
"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."
"HPE StoreOnce is particularly useful in situations where organizations require a backup solution to store their data. Its deduplication feature is quite impressive, providing a deduplication ratio of around 25 to 26."
"The initial setup process is simple."
"The solution is stable."
"The implementation is straightforward."
"The initial setup is one of the most user-friendly B2B user solutions. It's good, it's easy. Deployment usually takes less than one day. You only need one person for deployment and maintenance."
"The most valuable features are the deduplication and compression capabilities."
"The backup and restore functions are very valuable aspects of the product."
"I like that it's enterprise-capable. It can handle multiple operating systems. It can handle multiple database types. It can handle a lot of different backup use cases. It's flexible."
"I think the support is fine. We haven't had issues with it."
"The most valuable features are the ability to create a trust relationship and historical reports."
"Ease of installing, configuring, upgrading, and troubleshooting."
"Disaster recovery primarily involves backup usage. We employ it for both backup and recovery purposes. The backup and recovery processes have been executed multiple times, even restoring data from backups created three to four years ago."
"They are among the top in the world for backup and recovery."
"I think this is the best backup solution that we have. It is very good for the infrastructure."
"HPE StoreOnce should come with a detailed installation guide."
"We're outsourced with a partner who recalls a larger amount of problems with the stability of the product."
"HPE should have more options so customers can choose from a wide range of products with small to big capacities."
"The product's price could be better."
"The user interface of HPE StoreOnce should be more user-friendly. Additionally, the configuration and troubleshooting could be better."
"HPE StoreOnce could improve the capacity support."
"They could provide more options for storage capacity."
"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."
"It should be able to integrate with the cloud. If we leverage a cloud in the future for backup, there should be very fast help and more options for customers to choose from."
"It was very complicated, and it required a lot of work in terms of management. We have moved to Rubrik. One of the reasons for getting rid of Veritas NetBackup was the fact that at one point, we had the support staff with 12 to 15 people to manage Veritas NetBackup, whereas, with Rubrik, I'm the only one managing Rubrik. There is one more person who works with me mostly due to the fact that in case I'm not around, someone else knows what to do, but I'm the only one who is a full-time manager of Rubrik. The complexity of Veritas required a large staff to manage it. We had daily issues that had to be looked into and resolved. A lot of these issues revolved around Veritas' handling of VMware, which is why first we moved VMware off Veritas. After we did that, we were also able to reduce our staff count. Their licensing is a disaster. It is extremely complicated. In most cases, Veritas themselves can't understand their own licensing."
"The biggest additional features needed are more cloud capabilities and security from ransomware."
"Veritas NetBackup is an expensive solution, and its pricing could be improved."
"In regards to protecting the physical servers with parameters, it's a long and difficult process."
"NetBackup's reporting features are a little poor."
"The licensing costs could be more affordable."
"What needs to be improved in Veritas NetBackup is its interface, e.g. they should make it more user friendly. Scalability for this product could still be improved, particularly its hardware appliance scalability."
