"I'm impressed with their support structure, call availability, understanding, flexibility in scheduling remote sessions, and accommodating customer timeframes."
"Deduplication is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable features for us are the ease of use, the reliability, and the exceptional deduplication that we get across that data that we store on those devices."
"The most valuable feature of HPE StoreOnce is the virtual drive."
"This is a user-friendly solution."
"The important feature is compression and duplication. It has a good compression ratio and is very stable."
"The initial setup is simple."
"Nothing beats this solution for file backup."
"One of the main things that I like about IBM is the versioning of the data - meaning that we can have multiple versions of a file or directory of a server."
"Forever incremental - allows TSM to optimize storage needs."
"It helps our customers protect their data, especially with stuff like ransomware, compliance, and regulatory requirements."
"In the past, one of the most valuable features, and the biggest advantage, was the incremental forever feature. Not many other backup vendors provided that. In the pre-virtualization environment, it was very robust and simple technology, especially writing to tape."
"You can do restores very quickly. You can mount a drive and restore it right from the drive."
"The main thing is to keep the data safe and in files, keep it on tape ready for a request from a bank, and it is working perfectly with all our hardware."
"Scalability is pretty much unlimited."
"The product's price could be better."
"Some high-level cybersecurity features could be achieved with some entities, and their integration could be built into the store."
"The solution could always be less expensive."
"The solution would be improved if it could also be used as a data store for VMware."
"HPE StoreOnce needs to be made cheaper than products from Dell and Veeam."
"The product could be improved with better support for data protection."
"This product would be improved with the inclusion of more features to security or WORM."
"Its customer service could be faster."
"It needs BMR (bare machine recovery) solutions for both Windows and Linux systems."
"We would like to see capabilities of long-term archiving and more support for hardware platforms."
"For Spectrum Protect Plus, I would like to see more enhanced reporting features and integration with Spectrum Protect."
"We have had some problems about using storage agents on the X6 environment. It is not quite stable, but it is also not supported in a virtualized environment."
"Most customers still struggle with the reporting piece, especially generating reports. I think it needs some improvements in this area."
"It doesn't integrate with storage pools, with a normal pool. I'd like to see that."
"Customers have migrated off of it because of its lack of virtual environment functions."
"It might be seen as leaning towards the legacy side, missing some features of newer solutions. The main drawbacks would be its complexity and high pricing."
