The compression ratio should be improved as well as the efficiency.""A lot of improvement is required in Dell's first level of support.""The interface is too complex.""You need to use additional software to back up entire environments.

More Dell PowerProtect Data Manager Cons →

"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.""While StoreOnce has many features, it needs to focus on integrating with third-party backup software solutions.""The user interface of HPE StoreOnce is an area of concern where improvements are required.""The solution would be improved if it could also be used as a data store for VMware.""The setup phase is not so simple that an end user can plug and play to make it operational.""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.""The latency is a bit high.""Its customer service could be faster."
