"The product’s data retention is very good."
"The initial setup is simple."
"The speed and deduplication ratio are two of the most valuable features of the solution."
"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."
"Quick recovery."
"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."
"First-time integrations are difficult in NetWorker. NetWorker software needs to be simplified. It's very complex."
"The only problem is that it's more expensive than any other vendors available in the market."
"We have some problems with backing up on the Power Platform. PowerServer is an IBM product, and it forces us to back up over LAN, which is not suitable for us."
"Installation and deployment for this product need improvement. These processes need to made easier. Currently, it's not an easy installation for customers. This product needs to be installed by professionals."
"The size and scale of the product are limited and could be improved."
"I would like to see some kind of integration with the ransomware in the next release."
"We would like faster instant recovery."
"In terms of areas for improvement, I believe HPE StoreOnce could learn from competitors like Dell's Data Domain and ExtraHop in refining its architecture."
"HPE StoreOnce needs to provide a SaaS solution by offering high-density disks."
"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."
"While StoreOnce has many features, it needs to focus on integrating with third-party backup software solutions."
"Cloud integration needs to be simplified."
"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 needs to be made cheaper than products from Dell and Veeam."
"The solution must provide backup options for smaller capacities."
