"The solution is stable."
"The software is quite complicated and useful for large corporations using different information systems."
"The solution is very stable, especially if you are using a RAC environment."
"The solution is scalable."
"If it's set up the right way, it's a stable product."
"It is the best umbrella, serving the best applications."
"Deduplication is the most valuable feature."
"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."
"If you have a large enough storage capacity then you can take an ample amount of data."
"The most valuable feature of HPE StoreOnce is the virtual drive."
"Catalyst backup is used to back up Oracle databases, and provides very good throughput during backups."
"I'm impressed with their support structure, call availability, understanding, flexibility in scheduling remote sessions, and accommodating customer timeframes."
"The initial setup is simple."
"The speed and deduplication ratio are two of the most valuable features of the solution."
"The implementation process could be improved."
"The user interface is hard to use, it should be simplified. There are a lot of web-based management interfaces which they should consider."
"The stability of the NMC could use some attention, as it tends to be a bit shaky during jobs and other operations."
"There should be more vendors incorporated into the solution."
"There are too many reboots and the software requires constant updating."
"There are some limitations regarding scalability of the product."
"The interface could have a different appearance."
"It's complex in nature."
"When it comes to upgrading, it always goes block-wise. One block is 48 TB raw capacity. It would be good if they can include a smaller capacity for SMB customers. Currently, it is not possible to increase in a smaller capacity. You have to buy the exact same unit. It would be great if they can provide a smaller next block. There are around 20 hard disks, and it would be really helpful if we can add 10 hard disks initially and 10 hard disks later."
"HPE StoreOnce needs to provide a SaaS solution by offering high-density disks."
"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."
"HPE StoreOnce should come with a detailed installation guide."
"Hardware maintenance involves some downtime for backup destination storage which can be a problem for some."
"One item I wanted to see is SSD drives as a cache, and that was, for a time, still lacking in StoreOnce, however, they have done it now. It's not available yet, however, it will be shortly."
"Cloud integration needs to be simplified."
