"Dell PowerVault is user-friendly and easy to deploy."
"The initial setup was easy and simple."

"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 solution's most valuable feature is its catalyst mode, along with better performance, backup, and recovery."
"The initial setup is simple."
"The price could be improved."
"Dell PowerProtect DD should come out with its own system so we do not have to use Data Domain. For example, something similar to what Symantec has done."
"The firmware upgrades could be simplified. I'm in the process of struggling to upgrade right now."
"The price could be a little cheaper than it is now."
"DD doesn't have Intel's air gap technology."
"They should reduce the CPC cost to customers. The product is becoming very expensive."

"The product could support an NVMe hard disk."
"In most instances, clients are using Dell PowerVault with tape drives, but we want to transition them away from tape drives due to the risk of data loss."
"I would like Dell to improve on the configuration of the disk groups. Only one group is expandable. Once you configure the other disk group types, you cannot expand them. It limits scalability. If you want maybe to grow a disk group, you lose information, and then you need to build it up again, which is not a good use case for customers."
"We could set up the installation through a web server, but it's not very reactive on the web server. For example, when you launch a task, and you don't know exactly if the task has begun or if the task is in progress, or if it's finished. You have to wait for three to five to ten minutes to be sure that the task is running or in progress or finished. So at that point, it's not very good."
"If the solution came with a synchronous application, it would be particularly advantageous for small businesses operating across multiple sites."
"HPE StoreOnce could improve the capacity support."
"The solution must provide backup options for smaller capacities."
"I don't see any new features that we could want or anything that could be done along those lines. Just that we need a bigger machine, so more speed."
"The solution could always be less expensive."
"While StoreOnce has many features, it needs to focus on integrating with third-party backup software solutions."
"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."
"The platform's price could be lower."
"The product's price could be better."
