Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."It works well with backup virtual machines and SQL services we have been using."
"The solution is stable."
"Cohesity has simplified backups and has cut our costs tremendously."
"A robust, verifiable backup with a restore solution, which decreases our backup and has a restore window."
"After linking a cloud subscription, like Azure for example (AWS and Google are also supported), you can "spin" a VM onto the cloud from any backup snapshot."
"The most valuable aspect for me is that I don't have to deal with media in terms of tapes like our existing system does."
"I have found that the speed of restores, especially files and folders, are extremely fast. This bodes well for us, and our end users are always amazed at how fast you can get them their files."
"The four independent node cluster architecture is redundant. It maintains data integrity and load balancing."
"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 data retention is very good."
"Has very good deduplication and encryption features."
"The solution is stable."
"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 scalability is very good."
"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."
"The implementation is straightforward."
"I like that Cohesity offers the chance to have data on-premises and on the cloud. All the data is automatically sent to the cloud."
"We are highly dissatisfied with the level of support and functionality provided for HANA within the Cohesity product."
"You need to put the full name instead of a few letters while searching for backup. It should also improve customization."
"The solution's dashboard or UI can be enhanced and made more user-friendly than its competitors."
"At times, you may click the wrong server or click too fast and accidentally restore a cluster of servers. It would be very helpful to have a cancel option under restores."
"Better support for legacy platforms would be nice, but we should be moving off those anyway."
"In terms of what could be improved, it just needs some maturity."
"Cohesity cluster upgrades have not been as easy as a single button click. They are a manual process that requires upgrading each node into a cluster individually."
"The solution's technical support should be faster."
"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."
"It is difficult to solve issues with this solution remotely. I prefer to use the knowledge base platforms. The response time could improve."
"The solution's pricing could be improved."
"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 user interface of HPE StoreOnce should be more user-friendly. Additionally, the configuration and troubleshooting could be better."
"HPE should have more options so customers can choose from a wide range of products with small to big 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."
