Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, NetApp and others in Deduplication Software."Catalyst backup is used to back up Oracle databases, and provides very good throughput during backups."
"I think StoreOnce's deduplication technology is crucial for cost efficiency and faster recovery, especially for backup and data protection purposes."
"HPE StoreOnce is particularly useful in situations where organizations require a backup solution to store their data. Its deduplication feature is quite impressive, providing a deduplication ratio of around 25 to 26."
"The implementation is straightforward."
"The product’s data retention is very good."
"Has very good deduplication and encryption features."
"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 product's most valuable feature is stability."
"This solution helps us to manage all of the operations across servers and different workstations."
"The automated procedure is quite good for us, as it is able to capture all of the information that we require."
"The solution backs up Microsoft workloads as well as anything on the market."
"The initial setup is quite straightforward."
"It has an application backup, a file backup, a system backup and a hypervisor."
"Microsoft DPM is scalable."
"The most valuable feature is that DPM has an index so individual files can be searched."
"I like the core backup feature. I also like the file server backup feature. I find Microsoft DPM interesting because it has fantastic integration with Microsoft products. For example, in Exchange and SharePoint, DPM is excellent when it comes to backing up data. It also does a decent job with open-source products."
"Agnostic backups."
"The product's price could be better."
"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."
"Some high-level cybersecurity features could be achieved with some entities, and their integration could be built into the store."
"The appliance doesn't have the global deduplication, it has StoreOnce deduplication. It does not deduplicate across the appliance, it will deduplicate in one particular store. With the global deduplication, I could store more data."
"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."
"The latency is a bit high."
"The platform's price could be lower."
"Microsoft DPM could improve if it was available in a public or private cloud."
"To evaluate the solution's abilities and its performance under demanding conditions, it is recommended to carry out a stress test."
"There is a very poor online user community in terms of people blogging about their experiences with DPM."
"The user interface can be improved quite a bit."
"Compatibility and integration with other products needs improvement."
"Additional Hyper-V knowledge would be great."
"We can't take a snapshot and take it outside, which is a problem."
"It needs portability for other vendors. It is good for backing up Microsoft servers, but it doesn't support third-party solutions such as Oracle Database. It depends on Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy, especially for Hyper-V, which has a lot of problems. They should enhance the Volume Shadow Copy functionality. Its reporting should also be better. Reporting is too weak in DPM."
