"I find this solution to be cost-effective in providing data storage for clients."
"The most valuable feature of Dell PowerVault is its performance."
"The most valuable features are stability and response time."
"Dell PowerVault is cheap."
"Dell PowerVault offers valuable full flash storage."
"I like the tool's CloudIQ feature."
"It is an inexpensive storage solution."
"The storage has been good."
"The scalability is very good."
"Currently, VTLs can only be created on individual service sets and cannot be used to share the resources of other nodes."
"The most valuable features are the deduplication and compression capabilities."
"The speed and deduplication ratio are two of the most valuable features of the solution."
"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."
"HPE StoreOnce works well, it is stable."
"The initial setup process is simple."
"It is a very scalable solution."
"PowerVault could be improved by increasing its memory cache capacity and adding the ability to export data to the cloud."
"Dell PowerVault is block-oriented storage only."
"The product is generally stable, but there have been instances, to my knowledge, where we faced issues in the controller during software upgrades. The availability is not at the desired level during these upgrade processes, as we sometimes need to shut down both controllers. This could be an area for improvement."
"If the solution came with a synchronous application, it would be particularly advantageous for small businesses operating across multiple sites."
"In the next release, I would like the deduplication and compression included, as well as the flash technology. It doesn't currently use it."
"I would like Dell to improve on the configuration of the disk groups. Only one group is expandable. Once you configure the other disk group types, you cannot expand them. It limits scalability. If you want maybe to grow a disk group, you lose information, and then you need to build it up again, which is not a good use case for customers."
"The high prices of the solution are an area of concern where improvements are required."
"In most instances, clients are using Dell PowerVault with tape drives, but we want to transition them away from tape drives due to the risk of data loss."
"Hardware maintenance involves some downtime for backup destination storage which can be a problem for some."
"We're outsourced with a partner who recalls a larger amount of problems with the stability of the product."
"HPE StoreOnce needs to be made cheaper than products from Dell and Veeam."
"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."
"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 could always be less expensive."
"Its customer service could be faster."
"The repository should have an extension to connect to the cloud and deposit the backups."
