"Avamar's source side deduplication is very strong, it can easily back up remote sites' data, and not much bandwidth is required on the Avamar side."
"I found the most valuable features of Dell Avamar are the user-friendly interface and ease to use. Our clients have administrated this software and there is no additional training required."

"The data reduction feature and the ease of enabling a server in a DR location are the most valuable."
"Scheduling is valuable. It does a good job of backing up, and it does a good job of restoring. Nobody has got a problem with that. The agents are well supported."
"The solution is easy to use and has high performance."
"The initial setup is simple."
"If you have a large enough storage capacity then you can take an ample amount of data."
"The solution is stable."
"HPE StoreOnce has high performance."

"The solution's licensing policy is more practical and not confusing."
"The initial setup process is simple."
"The solution, in the future, should offer support for mobile."
"The performance takes up a lot of resources, unfortunately."
"The UI is quite old. We've been using this UI since last year, and they haven't changed it. It would be better to update the UI periodically and create attractive dashboards from an administrative point of view."
"The initial setup is a bit complex and could be simpler."
"The solution should improve its tape-connectivity features."
"It would be helpful if there was cloud support."
"There are limitations when trying to use this solution with Hyper-V."

"The user interface of HPE StoreOnce is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The product could be improved with better support for data protection."
"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 should continue to refine its integration capabilities. I also see they are starting to use cloud integration as well, which is good, but they should do more to integrate with it."
"We archive our backups on tape, so I feel like if we could somehow plug our tape drive directly into the StoreOnce device and set it up to where it would archive based on, if some kind of rules based engine or what have you, that would really be an improvement for us."
