Pros
"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.""Technical support is quite good.""HPE StoreOnce works well, it is stable.""If you have a large enough storage capacity then you can take an ample amount of data.""The product’s data retention is very good.""I'm impressed with their support structure, call availability, understanding, flexibility in scheduling remote sessions, and accommodating customer timeframes.""The deduplication feature in this product is amazing.""The most valuable feature of the solution is that the tool provides good value for somebody who needs an affordable and reliable storage solution."

"The most valuable feature of Unitrends for me is the automated feedback""The backup feature and recovery option are good because they allow the instant recovery of Hyper-V nodes and files.""It is an easy system to use. The support, if needed, is always willing to help.""When I have had to use tech support, they've been very good.""Replication to Forever Cloud.""VM backup is much faster and more reliable, as I can test my backups with Data Copy Access jobs.""Backup/archive to multiple locations.""Stability-wise, I rate this solution a nine out of ten."

Cons
"The web interface, ease of use, and GUI all need to be improved.""Agnostic backups.""The product's price could be better.""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.""HPE should have more options so customers can choose from a wide range of products with small to big capacities.""I would like to see an emphasis placed on making data deduplication and compression more powerful.""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.""The product could be improved with better support for data protection."

More HPE StoreOnce Cons →

"Making the seeding process more accessible and easier to understand. Also, make more of the undocumented best practices easier to find.""The amount of updates which are being released. Updates should be limited to two or three a year, focusing more on quality instead of a rushed bug release.""No appliance update notifications.""It seems like Unitrends moved away from enterprise customer engagement and moved more towards the managed service provider market.""I would like to see more storage options for the free version.""If the interface could be less complex, it is would be great.""The solution’s support and onboarding process needs to be improved.""There are some questions as to how safely they are storing backup data."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The price puts me off. It's definitely on the high side."
  • "To be honest, we were quite happy with the price, but we always want things cheaper than they are. I think for what we got, we felt that the price was quite reasonable comparing it to other products that provide that same level of functionality."
  • "There are costs for additional storage and space."
  • "Price-wise, it comes with a high price tag when compared to other products."
  • "The cost of HPE StoreOnce is very expensive."
  • "We have got a perpetual license, and we have access to all the features. If you are using cloud banks, you can store the internal data in HPE Cloud if needed. You can offload the data to the HPE Cloud. It is a licensed product. We have got around 10 TB of cloud bank storage with a one-time payment. We specifically took 10 TB for very critical offsite backups. We can also increase it in blocks if needed."
  • "The licensing schemes could improve in HPE StoreOnce and the price is high. They should reduce the price."
  • "I think the product is competitive in terms of pricing. Other products like the one from Dell are costlier compared to the tool."

  • "Make sure you do the homework to size the solution properly. Buy the Enterprise Plus licensing if you can afford it."
  • "When you purchase initially, get into the program which gives replacement hardware for free when you renew your support agreement."
  • "Initial pricing is competitive. Renewal pricing is steep, so make sure to project costs for the lifetime of the appliance(s)."
  • "Talk with the sales guys. They can work with you on the best package."
  • "We found that the cost of Unitrends was about the same as the Dell DR6300. We liked the fact that the Unitrends appliance was all-in-one."
  • "The cost of Unitrends definitely draws you in. The licensing is all included in the appliance, which is a great incentive."
  • "Pricing model constantly changes."
  • "You should be aware how much the monthly costs are to use, what the initial costs for hardware are, and what the options to expand are, if needed."

    Top Answer:In terms of improvement, the UI, especially in the recovery section, is unclear about which repository it uses—I had to hover over to find that information. Figuring out the scripting part wasn't… more »
