Are the results from persistent homology complete?

Do the homology groups for each Betti number as produced by persistent homology completely capture all the topological characteristics of the space? If not, what topological features are not captured?

I.e. will two topologically distinct spaces always have distinct persistent homology (e.g. barcodes or persistence diagrams) and will two topologically indistinguishable spaces always have identical results from persistent homology?
