"HPE StoreOnce is an easy-to-use tool."
"The product's most valuable feature is stability."
"HPE StoreOnce has high performance."
"The scalability is very good."
"From a centralized system, I can manage the interface, the backup policies, and the status of the database."
"It results in more efficient storage utilization, cutting capital expenditure in half."
"I like the tool’s deduplication feature. We get a ratio of 9:1 for deduplication. The product is also Linux based. Last year, our organization faced some virus attacks. However, the backup was safe because of the product being a Linux version. HPE StoreOnce is a secure product."
"Has very good deduplication and encryption features."
"We would like to see the price of this solution brought down to be comparable with similar products currently on the market."
"They're scalable."
"The initial setup is complex."
"I would like to see integration with public cloud."
"When you use Data Domain, you have to have at least 20% free space so it can work properly. Sometimes we struggle with that, because we wanted to use all the free space, but then Data Domain becomes really slow. I understand that 20% is needed to process all the data, and doing the duplication and compression and all that, but it would be a big improvement if they did not require that 20%, because it is just too much to have available."
"The tool's pricing could be cheaper."
"They should reduce the CPC cost to customers. The product is becoming very expensive."
"First-time integrations are difficult in NetWorker. NetWorker software needs to be simplified. It's very complex."
"The repository should have an extension to connect to the cloud and deposit the backups."
"The solution's pricing could be improved."
"The GUI and its user-friendliness have some room for improvement."
"The solution's technical support should be faster."
"The latency is a bit high."
"Its customer service could be faster."
"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."
"The solution should continue to refine its integration capabilities. I also see they are starting to use cloud integration as well, which is good, but they should do more to integrate with it."
