We performed a comparison between HPE StoreOnce and IBM Spectrum Protect based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, NetApp and others in Deduplication Software."The interface is very user-friendly."
"The product's most valuable feature is stability."
"The implementation is straightforward."
"The solution saves a lot of storage capacity."
"It is a very scalable solution."
"We also really benefit from the GUI capabilities."
"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."
"I think StoreOnce's deduplication technology is crucial for cost efficiency and faster recovery, especially for backup and data protection purposes."
"Everyone wants a full backup. It gives them safety and peace of mind, like an insurance policy for that rainy day when they may need to restore a system."
"We have better, faster backup times, and it has improved efficiency in the backups."
"It seems very scalable and robust. It can do what we require it to do."
"It has to ability to backup DV2, Oracle, and Informix."
"I find the whole product useful. The backup archive client, snapshot, spectrum for virtual environments are beneficial features."
"Instead of taking three different backups of your systems, you're taking only one. You're able to crack that open and get what you need. The incident recovery, where it creates the VM and then you're running it, technically you're running it on Spectrum Protect. But then in the background, it's doing the storage motion and moving it off the Spectrum Protect back to your VMware environment. The users don't know the difference."
"From a tech perspective, utilizing deduplication is one of the most valuable features."
"We can use it with any storage for the back-end to save data."
"Cloud integration needs to be simplified."
"The solution's technical support should be faster."
"The solution's pricing could be improved."
"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."
"HPE StoreOnce needs to provide a SaaS solution by offering high-density disks."
"While StoreOnce has many features, it needs to focus on integrating with third-party backup software solutions."
"Some high-level cybersecurity features could be achieved with some entities, and their integration could be built into the store."
"The setup phase is not so simple that an end user can plug and play to make it operational."
"The solution's ability to integrate with a cloud solution is one area that needs improvement."
"We are not so happy with the technical support because dealing with them is not easy. We have a very complicated environment, therefore I understand for a support person that it is not easy to troubleshoot it."
"I want a better user interface, support, and integrations."
"The Hyper-V and SQL Server backup could be improved. In the 2016 version there was a significant improvement, but I think IBM has a big challenge with these technologies."
"Stability is very good now. It used to be rocky years ago."
"Our customers would like to see metadata replication, tearing to tape, and more cloud capabilities."
"Ease of use. That has got to be the one thing that I routinely hear from clients and customers, that it's a little bit more difficult than it should be. What I'm finding is that IBM has heard that and they're responding with updated interfaces and things like that."
"I would like to see monitoring within the platform: monitoring for storage pools and monitoring for the server's health (e.g., CPU and memory)."
