Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."The ease of use and the GUI have really been most valuable to us. Configuring the system to do what we need is simple and straight forward and a lot of guesswork has been removed. One of my favorite features with Cohesity is Kroll for Exchange item-level recovery. The software is simple to use and fast."
"Cohesity customer service is the best that I have ever used. They are extremely fast in responding to cases, fixed all issues, and answered every question in a very timely manner."
"Setup was extremely easy from racking to backing up was about one hour."
"Several features enable us to perform fast recovery, such as instant fast recovery. All our virtual machines protected with the product can be quickly restored to another healthy environment with minimal downtime for our main customers. These features have significantly improved our recovery time objectives."
"Converged system. It makes much more sense to have the backup server running on the same hardware as the storage for backup and recovery."
"The customer service and support are fast and professional."
"Cohesity's web-scale architecture enables us to scale up as needed."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that the tool provides good value for somebody who needs an affordable and reliable storage solution."
"HPE StoreOnce works well, it is stable."
"Technical support is quite good."
"The valuable feature is the ability to work with the Veeam software to reduce the backup windows."
"The product’s data retention is very good."
"HPE StoreOnce is an easy-to-use tool."
"I think StoreOnce's deduplication technology is crucial for cost efficiency and faster recovery, especially for backup and data protection purposes."
"The most valuable features for us are the ease of use, the reliability, and the exceptional deduplication that we get across that data that we store on those devices."
"For Oracle DBs, we have observed a few bugs. This can be done better."
"The product is still young and is continually improving. There have been a couple of buggy releases in the software that have caused us minor issues, so possibly some better QA before releasing would prove to be useful. We have also been inquiring about new app and functionality via the Marketplace that was teased months back but has yet to come to fruition."
"Since it is an evolving product, there are lot of frequent releases which require upgrades to be done every other weekend."
"The solution has a more complex setup than Veritas and Veeam."
"We are highly dissatisfied with the level of support and functionality provided for HANA within the Cohesity product."
"Quality testing of upgrades should be somewhat improved."
"The error handling could be improved."
"The tool could benefit from further improvements in AI features, particularly in areas such as a generative AI chat interface. This feature could help answer queries about the data being protected. One feature that would greatly improve our experience with the product is the ability to identify data redundancies through a central console. This feature would help us reduce storage costs by managing redundant data."
"The product's price could be better."
"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."
"The solution should continue to refine its integration capabilities. I also see they are starting to use cloud integration as well, which is good, but they should do more to integrate with it."
"The user interface of HPE StoreOnce should be more user-friendly. Additionally, the configuration and troubleshooting could be better."
"The repository should have an extension to connect to the cloud and deposit the backups."
"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 setup phase is not so simple that an end user can plug and play to make it operational."
"The solution's pricing could be improved."
