We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Currently, VTLs can only be created on individual service sets and cannot be used to share the resources of other nodes.""HPE StoreOnce is an easy-to-use tool.""Catalyst backup is used to back up Oracle databases, and provides very good throughput during backups.""I think StoreOnce's deduplication technology is crucial for cost efficiency and faster recovery, especially for backup and data protection purposes.""The most valuable features are the deduplication and compression capabilities.""The product's most valuable feature is stability.""Deduplication is the most valuable feature.""I'm impressed with their support structure, call availability, understanding, flexibility in scheduling remote sessions, and accommodating customer timeframes."

"The setup was straightforward Veeam Backup Replication. NetBackup is a larger solution and takes more time to implement but Veeam Backup Replication takes approximately 40 days.""One thing we like about the product is that it's good and not as expensive as similar products. Right now, there are different ways to back up your information—you can back up directly to a disk or the cloud. It allows you to have various kinds of repositories.""The most valuable features are the backup and restoration of our VMs. Additionally, they add features regularly.""It's very easy to work with and it's very reliable.""The initial setup is simple to do in Veeam Backup Replication.""It has helped us to protect our IP address and critical information.""I'm pleased with the ability to search for documents; it's very useful.""The most valuable feature is that I can back up the whole machine and then restore it relatively fast."

Cons
"I don't see any new features that we could want or anything that could be done along those lines. Just that we need a bigger machine, so more speed.""We're outsourced with a partner who recalls a larger amount of problems with the stability of the product.""I would like to see an emphasis placed on making data deduplication and compression more powerful.""The solution's pricing could be improved.""While StoreOnce has many features, it needs to focus on integrating with third-party backup software solutions.""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 StoreOnce needs to be made cheaper than products from Dell and Veeam."

More HPE StoreOnce Cons →

"The price can be better.""The integration with other solutions should be improved.""The physical server backups and direct storage connectivity need improvement.""CDP also requires a lot of development, because there are a lot of restrictions now for CDP. There is a chance to improve CDP and make it much easier for the customers.""Its import and export processes for information and policies could be better.""The solution could improve by having more user-friendly dashboards.""The virtual sandboxes seem complex to setup, so I have not invested time in leveraging this feature. It would be nice if this feature was more user-friendly.""The interface and cluster environments could be improved in the future as presently they are using agent interface instead of user interface. Also, the backup for the Oracle WAC environment can be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The price puts me off. It's definitely on the high side."
  • "To be honest, we were quite happy with the price, but we always want things cheaper than they are. I think for what we got, we felt that the price was quite reasonable comparing it to other products that provide that same level of functionality."
  • "There are costs for additional storage and space."
  • "Price-wise, it comes with a high price tag when compared to other products."
  • "The cost of HPE StoreOnce is very expensive."
  • "We have got a perpetual license, and we have access to all the features. If you are using cloud banks, you can store the internal data in HPE Cloud if needed. You can offload the data to the HPE Cloud. It is a licensed product. We have got around 10 TB of cloud bank storage with a one-time payment. We specifically took 10 TB for very critical offsite backups. We can also increase it in blocks if needed."
  • "The licensing schemes could improve in HPE StoreOnce and the price is high. They should reduce the price."
  • "I think the product is competitive in terms of pricing. Other products like the one from Dell are costlier compared to the tool."
  • More HPE StoreOnce Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "If you have Exchange, Oracle, SQL, or a supported SAN, then I suggest getting at least an Enterprise edition. It’ll pay for itself in no time."
  • "The pricing and licensing is better than the competitors, but it could be better."
  • "Room for improvement is actually more in the way of licensing. The really good and useful features are in the Enterprise plus edition, and that one is really expensive."
  • "Since pricing is per socket, it is not expensive to add capacity as you go along."
  • "The licensing is based on the number of cores you have in your ESX or Hyper-V environment."
  • "The price is a bit high. Licensing type is VMware friendly, so it is easy."
  • "I think the price is good when you choose the Essentials Suite, but when you buy a full featured version (for instance the Enterprise Plus) the price is a little bit expensive."
  • "Setup cost and licensing of Veeam are nothing to complain about when compared to similar products for enterprise backup recovery solutions."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Veeam Backup & Replication is a solution that stands out when compared to many of its competitors. Some of its major advantages are its ease of set up, the fact that it is agentless, and that it has an intuitive dashboard. 

    A Network Operations Manager at an educational organization says, "Integration with VMware is excellent with very granular recovery."

    An Inside Solutions Architect at a tech services company mentions, “I like that it's agent-less, easy to set up, and hardware-agnostic.”

    An Account Manager at a tech services company states, “The dashboard is very, very easy to understand. We do demonstrations all the time with customers just to show them. If they've lost particular files because of a server going down, we can retrieve those files for them and quickly bring those files back up.”

    Kerem C., Director of Professional Services/Senior Solution Architect/Trainer at a tech services company, explains, “It's good for backup performance management and backup window management.”
