Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, NetApp and others in Deduplication Software."The most valuable feature of HPE StoreOnce is the virtual drive."
"If you have a large enough storage capacity then you can take an ample amount of data."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its catalyst mode, along with better performance, backup, and recovery."
"This is a user-friendly solution."
"I think the most valuable feature is the catalyst technology, which is in the StoreOnce appliance."
"HPE StoreOnce is particularly useful in situations where organizations require a backup solution to store their data. Its deduplication feature is quite impressive, providing a deduplication ratio of around 25 to 26."
"Quick recovery."
"The initial setup process is simple."
"The most valuable feature is that I can back up the whole machine and then restore it relatively fast."
"Get only one interface to manage all backup sites, secure them with replication, and manage outside LTO media."
"The instant VM recovery feature is the most valuable. It is a very good tool for disaster recovery. It is also easy to manage."
"Pricing is fairly reasonable and not overly expensive."
"The replication feature has proven to be the most valuable feature for us."
"I have found the most valuable feature to be the new CDP features. It is very popular for my customer's needs."
"It's relatively easy to use and the ability to recover in a short period of time has been great."
"It helps with process restoration. With Veeam, we never had backup or restoration issues."
"The web interface, ease of use, and GUI all need to be improved."
"The user interface of HPE StoreOnce should be more user-friendly. Additionally, the configuration and troubleshooting could be better."
"The appliance doesn't have the global deduplication, it has StoreOnce deduplication. It does not deduplicate across the appliance, it will deduplicate in one particular store. With the global deduplication, I could store more data."
"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's pricing could be improved."
"The solution's technical support should be faster."
"Cloud integration needs to be simplified."
"The solution would be improved if it could also be used as a data store for VMware."
"There's a situation where VMs run on different locks. It's running on the VM while having a relationship with nearby solutions running on the same server and storage. This creates a bottleneck that needs to be eliminated."
"I would like them to move back to host licensing."
"The only improvement I could think of is it could be cheaper—cheaper is always good. Sometimes the product is just finished. Cheaper is always nice for the customer, but the company needs to benefit so that they can keep maintaining the product. New Windows versions, etc., always take some work. At the moment, I wouldn't switch to another solution because of the money."
"This is an expensive solution."
"Integration with other equipment could be improved."
"It would be nice if it could be integrated with third-party solutions like ours. It has been supporting just Windows and virtual machines."
"The product is missing some commonsense features and tools for an enterprise backup recovery product,"
"Device backup could be improved."
