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."I think StoreOnce's deduplication technology is crucial for cost efficiency and faster recovery, especially for backup and data protection purposes."
"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."
"This is a user-friendly solution."
"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 solution's licensing policy is more practical and not confusing."
"The important feature is compression and duplication. It has a good compression ratio and is very stable."
"The most valuable features are the deduplication and compression capabilities."
"The scalability is very good."
"The solution is mostly stable."
"It scales from very small to very large. It is easily the most scalable product out there."
"I have found that the most valuable feature is useful documentation and troubleshooting."
"The solution offers very good flexibility."
"In the past, one of the most valuable features, and the biggest advantage, was the incremental forever feature. Not many other backup vendors provided that. In the pre-virtualization environment, it was very robust and simple technology, especially writing to tape."
"The main thing is to keep the data safe and in files, keep it on tape ready for a request from a bank, and it is working perfectly with all our hardware."
"We cannot live without it, since it gives us the confidence to move forward."
"The scalability of IBM Spectrum Protect is good."
"Agnostic backups."
"The solution's technical support should be faster."
"The product's price could be better."
"The platform's price could be lower."
"They could provide more options for storage capacity."
"It is difficult to solve issues with this solution remotely. I prefer to use the knowledge base platforms. The response time could improve."
"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 product could be improved with better support for data protection."
"I need two separate solutions for virtual and physical systems. I need IBM Spectrum Protect Plus for virtual systems and Spectrum Protect for physical systems and that's a pain. It would be an improvement if they were combined."
"I would love to see something which allows us to do an auto restart of backup jobs."
"Its price can be better. It is very expensive. Its interface is very old and not user friendly. They can improve its interface. Their support can also be better. My clients are not very satisfied with the support because they are not really quick."
"I am not really impressed with the Level 1 support, but once I get past that and go to Level 2, then we will usually get some type of resolution."
"The administration tools for GI need improvement, as the current assessment suggests shortcomings in the back-end system."
"The solution's initial setup process wasn't easy...The solution is overly complicated in terms of architecture, especially compared to other tools in the market."
"There needs to be a bit more automation."
"IBM Spectrum Protect does have a lot of the features that we need, but I think they need to improve their backup virtualization and backup for container."
