"The solution's most valuable feature is the integrated deduplication function."
"HPE StoreOnce is an easy-to-use tool."
"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 most valuable feature of HPE StoreOnce is the virtual drive."
"The interface is very user-friendly."
"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."
"From a centralized system, I can manage the interface, the backup policies, and the status of the database."

"Installation and deployment for this product need improvement. These processes need to made easier. Currently, it's not an easy installation for customers. This product needs to be installed by professionals."
"I would like to see some kind of integration with the ransomware in the next release."
"The only problem is that it's more expensive than any other vendors available in the market."
"I would like to see integration with public cloud."
"Dell PowerProtect DD should come out with its own system so we do not have to use Data Domain. For example, something similar to what Symantec has done."
"Dell PowerProtect DD could improve by having better integration with other backup solutions."
"The price could be improved."
"They need to make migration easier."
"The web interface, ease of use, and GUI all need to be improved."
"We're outsourced with a partner who recalls a larger amount of problems with the stability of the product."
"The repository should have an extension to connect to the cloud and deposit the backups."
"When it comes to upgrading, it always goes block-wise. One block is 48 TB raw capacity. It would be good if they can include a smaller capacity for SMB customers. Currently, it is not possible to increase in a smaller capacity. You have to buy the exact same unit. It would be great if they can provide a smaller next block. There are around 20 hard disks, and it would be really helpful if we can add 10 hard disks initially and 10 hard disks later."
"Agnostic backups."
"The solution could always be less expensive."
"The product could be improved with better support for data protection."
"HPE StoreOnce needs to be made cheaper than products from Dell and Veeam."
