Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, Dell Technologies, Hewlett Packard Enterprise and others in Enterprise SAN."The solution is reliable and stable."
"The most valuable feature of Dell PowerVault is its performance."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"I find this solution to be cost-effective in providing data storage for clients."
"I like the tool's CloudIQ feature."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it is easy to manage and easy to use."
"The initial setup was easy and simple."
"The most valuable feature of Dell PowerVault is its ability to provide small to medium-range storage. It doesn't have any specific standout features, but it's great for applications, such as surveillance where a large number of videos need to be recorded and performance isn't a priority."
"HPE StoreOnce works well, it is stable."
"Currently, VTLs can only be created on individual service sets and cannot be used to share the resources of other nodes."
"Quick recovery."
"The product’s data retention is very good."
"The solution is stable."
"I'm impressed with their support structure, call availability, understanding, flexibility in scheduling remote sessions, and accommodating customer timeframes."
"The hardware is strong and all the equipment has a good infrastructure. Personally, I think it's the best storage product in HPE for small to medium-sized businesses."
"Catalyst backup is used to back up Oracle databases, and provides very good throughput during backups."
"PowerVault could be improved by increasing its memory cache capacity and adding the ability to export data to the cloud."
"The product is generally stable, but there have been instances, to my knowledge, where we faced issues in the controller during software upgrades. The availability is not at the desired level during these upgrade processes, as we sometimes need to shut down both controllers. This could be an area for improvement."
"If the solution came with a synchronous application, it would be particularly advantageous for small businesses operating across multiple sites."
"Dell PowerVault is block-oriented storage only."
"We need higher performance and more reliable storage."
"In the next release, I would like the deduplication and compression included, as well as the flash technology. It doesn't currently use it."
"The price of the solution could be lower."
"The implementation process takes a while."
"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."
"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."
"We would like to see some improvements in the Veeam Backup & Replication integration. It's good, but it has a lot of room to improve. In particular around the inability to easily move data between StoreOnce appliances."
"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 product's price could be better."
"The repository should have an extension to connect to the cloud and deposit the backups."
"They could provide more options for storage capacity."
