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 functionality is very good. DD Boost and DD entry replication are used in almost all backup concepts. Those are the most used features."
"There are no limitations when it comes to the scalability feature of the product. You can scale up or scale down however much you want."
"Data Domain Boost has a unique protocol. I don't think with other vendors you get the same efficiency. I work with some the other products, but this solution has amazing efficiency in comparison."
"We can retain the data for a pretty long time."
"The initial setup of DD Boost involves a simple procedure."
"I like the tool set, it's easy to work on and the support is brilliant."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it can support both the CIFS and NFS protocols simultaneously."
"Scalable and stable solution for backup purposes, with good encryption and huge data conversion features."
"HPE StoreOnce has high performance."
"HPE StoreOnce works well, it is stable."
"Quick recovery."
"The implementation is straightforward."
"I'm impressed with their support structure, call availability, understanding, flexibility in scheduling remote sessions, and accommodating customer timeframes."
"It is very easy to implement."
"The speed and deduplication ratio are two of the most valuable features of the solution."
"The solution is stable."
"The solution could always be cheaper."
"The experience of restoring VMware or Veeam Backup is difficult, when the backup you are using is a solution for backup, which is already having a deduplication. When you try to restore from Data Domain, it doesn't work perfectly, because Data Domain is already having a deduplication as well."
"There are some limitations where you cannot use it as a shared server or as a file server, it is limited for the only backup."
"If you are using it with Recovery Manager, there are certain limitations. If those limitations are addressed, productivity will improve."
"This product is expensive compared to other storage so the price can be improved."
"There are limitations when using the VTL protocol in extreme cases."
"It should be expanded to include other databases and software. It should also be made easier to restore."
"DD Boost is a bit expensive."
"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."
"The latency is a bit high."
"Agnostic backups."
"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."
"Hardware maintenance involves some downtime for backup destination storage which can be a problem for some."
"The platform's price could be lower."
"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."
"The repository should have an extension to connect to the cloud and deposit the backups."
