"HPE StoreOnce works well, it is stable."

"The solution is stable."
"The most important features are SnapVault, Snapshots, and SnapMirror."
"You can use different protocols at the same time. Monitoring is also very easy in NetApp FAS Series. There is a free tool for monitoring."
"Better performance and lower costs."
"Has rock solid reliability and is easy to use."

"It's an easy product to use that is stable and has good performance."
"The user interface of HPE StoreOnce is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Its customer service could be faster."
"We're outsourced with a partner who recalls a larger amount of problems with the stability of the product."
"The solution's pricing could be improved."
"I would like to see better integration with Veeam software."
"Interfacing with the cloud environment could be better. I want to be able to move some cloud volume and integrate it seamlessly with my home on-premise storage. Sometimes I have issues with port permissions. NetApp probably needs to improve more on the integration side from on-premise to the cloud."
"Its operating system is very cumbersome. However, after you set it up, it runs pretty smoothly. Its file system is not very dynamic. It is very static."
"The solution's configuration is not flexible."
"It lacks automatic tiering, When you use data, some of it goes cold. It is not hot data, so the system should automatically move that data to the SATA, while the hot data is kept on tier-one, the SaaS or SSD drives."
"The AutoSupport could be improved to be more proactive in certain cases."
"Needs to improve the adaptive storage quality of service."
"The NetApp FAS Series is not as high-performing and is not as fast. Its speed needs improvement, but this could only be done if it's an all-flash solution."
"It may need more flexibility to fight with other competing arrays."
