"We can scale. Today, we have an average backup volume of 100TB a day."
"Since the technology is reliable, it simplifies the backup process significantly. Now, our focus can primarily be on managing full backups and creating some offline copies."
"IBM Spectrum Protect is a scalable solution."
"The business value comes from the capability to overcome data losses."
"I've had no problems with the stability of this solution."
"The ability to migrate between media over a long period of time. My customers are long-time users, and they have benefited from being able to move between tiers. They have been able to do this within the product."
"Scalability is pretty much unlimited."
"Our customers have come to trust IBM."
"We archive our backups on tape, so I feel like if we could somehow plug our tape drive directly into the StoreOnce device and set it up to where it would archive based on, if some kind of rules based engine or what have you, that would really be an improvement for us."
"The GUI and its user-friendliness have some room for improvement."
"HPE StoreOnce should come with a detailed installation guide."
"Agnostic backups."
"One item I wanted to see is SSD drives as a cache, and that was, for a time, still lacking in StoreOnce, however, they have done it now. It's not available yet, however, it will be shortly."
"HPE StoreOnce needs to be made cheaper than products from Dell and Veeam."
"The setup phase is not so simple that an end user can plug and play to make it operational."
"The solution would be improved if it could also be used as a data store for VMware."
"Any feature that is compliant with virtualizing the application should be improved."
"No one can fix every solution for backup and restore."
"I would like to see a way to have "always on" implemented."
"It lacks reporting and an efficient alert mechanism. The GUI could also be improved."
"The most important feature which I wish to be added involves the GUI, the user interface."
"When it comes to virtualization in IBM it's not perfect."
"The administration interface should implement more functionalities that exist only in the command line and needs improvement in how some reports are created."
"Our customers would like to see metadata replication, tearing to tape, and more cloud capabilities."
