"I would say flexibility is the most important feature of the product. The performance and speed are the best on the market."
"Dell EMC PowerProtect Data Manager is user-friendly and easy to use. it does what it needs to do."
"The deduplication is the most valuable feature because it helps to control the overhead."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"The solution adequately handles data storage."
"Dell PowerProtect Data Manager helps to reduce the amount of data being transferred and stored."
"It's the perfect solution for virtual and container directives. The data reduction feature works well, and we haven't had any issues."
"Catalyst backup is used to back up Oracle databases, and provides very good throughput during backups."
"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."
"Has very good deduplication and encryption features."
"I like the tool’s deduplication feature. We get a ratio of 9:1 for deduplication. The product is also Linux based. Last year, our organization faced some virus attacks. However, the backup was safe because of the product being a Linux version. HPE StoreOnce is a secure product."
"Currently, VTLs can only be created on individual service sets and cannot be used to share the resources of other nodes."
"Quick recovery."
"The initial setup is simple."
"From a centralized system, I can manage the interface, the backup policies, and the status of the database."
"There is always room for improvement. The compression ratio should be improved as well as the efficiency."
"They should include a feature similar to S3 bucket."
"The Dell EMC PowerProtect Data Manager reports could improve. There should be different kinds of reports on failures, such as dashboards that we can submit to top management or auditors."
"Management is difficult and it is hard to determine when things aren't working properly."
"PPDM requires further development. It is primarily integrated with DevOps systems."
"A lot of improvement is required in Dell's first level of support."
"The interface is too complex."
"As a new product, there are some things that still need to improve a bit as it matures."
"I would like to see better integration with Veeam software."
"The user interface of HPE StoreOnce is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The repository should have an extension to connect to the cloud and deposit the backups."
"I don't see any new features that we could want or anything that could be done along those lines. Just that we need a bigger machine, so more speed."
"The solution would be improved if it could also be used as a data store for VMware."
"The solution must provide backup options for smaller capacities."
"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 GUI and its user-friendliness have some room for improvement."
