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 initial setup process is simple."
"I think StoreOnce's deduplication technology is crucial for cost efficiency and faster recovery, especially for backup and data protection purposes."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that the tool provides good value for somebody who needs an affordable and reliable storage solution."
"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."
"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 feature of HPE StoreOnce is the virtual drive."
"Catalyst backup is used to back up Oracle databases, and provides very good throughput during backups."
"The speed and deduplication ratio are two of the most valuable features of the solution."
"The support is very good."
"Compression of the backup Oracle by RMAN on NFS saves space 5:1."
"The input and output per second performance are satisfactory."
"It's an easy product to use that is stable and has good performance."
"It is very easy to expand disks and manage CIFS."
"It has a very good implementation of the Active Directory services, so implementation into a Windows network is easy."
"The file sharing feature is most valuable."
"The product is user-friendly and helps to evaluate the performance of each node. It ensures that if one node encounters an issue, the system can immediately redistribute the workload without interruptions. This setup provides uninterrupted operation for our systems."
"HPE StoreOnce should come with a detailed installation guide."
"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 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."
"HPE StoreOnce needs to be made cheaper than products from Dell and Veeam."
"The solution's technical support should be faster."
"The solution's pricing could be improved."
"The user interface of HPE StoreOnce is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"HPE StoreOnce needs to provide a SaaS solution by offering high-density disks."
"The product must support more drives."
"We would like to have further integration with some backup products. They have some of them already, but there could be more."
"It could be more flexible in terms of configuration."
"The solution's configuration is not flexible."
"The high cost of the product is an area of concern, so from an improvement perspective, the tool needs to be made cheaper."
"If our customer needs a high-performance storage solution then we don't recommend this product."
"When getting new hardware, always tell the account manager that you are also considering other brands. They will be forced to adjust the price lower."
"The adoption of flash by NetApp has also been lagging behind the trendsetters, like TMS, Nimble, and others."
