"I'm impressed with their support structure, call availability, understanding, flexibility in scheduling remote sessions, and accommodating customer timeframes."
"The solution is stable."
"The most valuable features are the deduplication and compression capabilities."
"The interface is very user-friendly."
"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."
"The storage efficiency provided a maximum savings in our storage utilization."
"The best feature is its ONTAP product line for Ransomware protection. It also has features for file storage and block storage. The solution is stable. We've had no issues with it. The tool is scalable and meets our requirements. The technical support and the supporting partner are great. The initial setup is straightforward. It is very easy to maintain the product. The feature set is excellent. I recommend the solution."
"The solution is stable."
"The support is very good."
"For us, the greatest aspect of the solution is the fact that it just runs. It is amazingly resilient. That's very important to us, because we are basically, with some exceptions, have a 24/7 operation."
"Data consolidation and visualization."
"It is very easy to expand disks and manage CIFS."
"Snapshot, deduplication, and compression features are valuable."
"They could provide more options for storage capacity."
"The product could be improved with better support for data protection."
"HPE StoreOnce needs to be made cheaper than products from Dell and Veeam."
"improvement? HPE StoreOnce has a limitation with respect to controllers. Other tools offer more than one controller. I feel that the high availability of the view controller should be redundant. The tool’s control and UI part should be improved and made more advanced. The feature that helps with the manual movement of tapes should also be improved."
"The solution would be improved if it could also be used as a data store for VMware."
"The platform's price could be lower."
"HPE should have more options so customers can choose from a wide range of products with small to big capacities."
"I would like to see better integration with Veeam software."
"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."
"Needs more SAN support."
"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 user interface could be improved."
"The solution can improve on the replication features."
"Cluster mode needs to be more ubiquitous."
"When getting new hardware, always tell the account manager that you are also considering other brands. They will be forced to adjust the price lower."
"We're supposed to have used NetApp FAS Series for replication, but then one of the nodes failed, and then it's taken us some time to bring it up."
