"HPE StoreOnce is an easy-to-use tool."

"The speed and deduplication ratio are two of the most valuable features of the solution."

"Looking at Dell PowerProtect DD (Data Domain), there is a need for improvement, especially in terms of protection from cyber resiliency, cyber recovery, or man-in-the-middle attacks."
"The software from Dell that can be used to operate Data Domain needs to have enhancements made to the user interface. It is too complex."
"The repository should have an extension to connect to the cloud and deposit the backups."
"I would like to see an emphasis placed on making data deduplication and compression more powerful."
"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."
"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."
"The solution could always be less expensive."
"This product would be improved with the inclusion of more features to security or WORM."
"The solution's technical support should be faster."
"HPE StoreOnce could improve the capacity support."
