"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."
"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."
"HPE StoreOnce is an easy-to-use tool."
"HPE StoreOnce has high performance."
"Currently, VTLs can only be created on individual service sets and cannot be used to share the resources of other nodes."
"The implementation is straightforward."
"The important feature is compression and duplication. It has a good compression ratio and is very stable."
"It gives us the ability to locate and restore critical files which users may have intentionally or unknowing deleted a while ago."
"For us, the main two features that we appreciate in this application are backup and restore. They are the main purposes for which we are using this application."
"The implementation is straightforward."
"Synthetic backup is valuable. It gives you the possibility to do a synthesized backup, which means that it combines a full backup and incremental backup data and gives it to you in one stream. So, you don't have to restore the full backup and then later go and restore the incremental backup. You can do that in one go."
"Veritas Backup Exec is easily managed."
"It is easy to set up and use for daily processes and a good solution for preserving crucial data."
"Good open file option feature, SQL agent, and EM agent."
"The product is good in a small environment when looking to a backup on a tape."
"The web interface, ease of use, and GUI all need to be improved."
"HPE StoreOnce could improve the capacity support."
"HPE StoreOnce needs to be made cheaper than products from Dell and Veeam."
"The user interface of HPE StoreOnce is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"I would like to see an emphasis placed on making data deduplication and compression more powerful."
"HPE StoreOnce should come with a detailed installation guide."
"We're outsourced with a partner who recalls a larger amount of problems with the stability of the product."
"improvement? HPE StoreOnce has a limitation with respect to controllers. Other tools offer more than one controller. I feel that the high availability of the view controller should be redundant. The tool’s control and UI part should be improved and made more advanced. The feature that helps with the manual movement of tapes should also be improved."
"The solution could improve and adapt to new applications in the market so we can integrate Veritas Backup Exec with them to facilitate backup processes within these applications."
"In the future, their console should not be complicated."
"It would be nice to improve the backup acceleration and the fast restoration required."
"There still a lot of room for improvement in synthetic technologies, especially when targeted to deduplication media."
"I would like to improve their ability to back up the cloud environment. Additionally, it would be nice to have simpler UI."
"It's not too stable for client-server architecture. Center Management is not so interactive, and then there are some issues regarding the complex licensing which needs improvement."
"This solution does not support image-level backup of a physical server."
"If you keep it for too long and the catalog gets really big, the application tends to move slowly."
