Global deduplication, stable, and flexible licensing options

I give the solution ten out of ten. This solution offers one dashboard to manage the BC con, disaster recovery plan, DR solution, and backup as well as different licensing options, unlike other OEM products. We are the system integrators for our clients, so we design the solution as per the customer's requirements. We provide several solutions options to our clients such as Druva inSync, Druva Phoenix, and Arcserve UDP with the specifications and the client makes a decision based on their requirements. I would advise potential users to first be clear on whether they are going to use it as a backup solution for compliance purposes, just wanting to take the backups of files and servers, or for instant recovery. The IQ and RPO discussion with our customers usually takes 30 minutes. I recommend this solution.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The solution has no limitations because it does backup for Linux and Windows."

"The product's deployment process was straightforward."

"The recovery part of the product is very good."

"The most valuable features are the replication to the cloud and the deduplication."

"The interface is very refined, works fine, and is very intuitive most of the time. Scalability is nice. The multi-tenancy feature is very welcome. The integration with Linux works fine too."

"The ability to switch between different hardware platforms and utilization tools are some of this solution's most valuable features."

"The most valuable feature is the duplication."

"The most valuable feature of Arcserve UDP is its decompression capability."

More Arcserve UDP pros

"HPE StoreOnce works well, it is stable."

"Deduplication and compression are in a good ratio. It supports the HPE Catalyst protocol, which is much faster than NFS and other protocols. We use CommVault and Veeam, and these two solutions support the Catalyst protocol very well and are integrated at high speed. It is faster than normal access."

"The stability of the solution is excellent."

"Quick recovery."

"Catalyst backup is used to back up Oracle databases, and provides very good throughput during backups."

"Deduplication is the most valuable feature."

"The hardware is strong and all the equipment has a good infrastructure. Personally, I think it's the best storage product in HPE for small to medium-sized businesses."

"The implementation is straightforward."

More HPE StoreOnce pros

Cons

"The speed of restores should be improved. We have found the speed of large restores rather slow."

"One of the biggest drawbacks of Arcserve UDP is that it does not have a single console, making it an area that needs to be considered for improvement."

"Every time I change the disc, I have to do a full backup."

"Based on my experience, whenever we need support, there are difficulties with communication when trying to resolve the issue."

"We cannot restore each user's mailbox. Each user's mailbox should be independently restorable. Also, this solution is very slow. If you select all of the servers, it runs for a long time... It needs to be faster. Finally, If anything happens to one server we should be able to switch to another server."

"One area for improvement in Arcserve UDP is its capability to interact with other cloud servers."

"A lot of their new technologies are not very good."

"The solution could improve by being more user-friendly. It can be difficult to assign destinations and choose which files and folders we need to back up. There are some aspects that are unclear."

More Arcserve UDP cons

"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."

"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 latency is a bit high."

"The cost is at the forefront of everyone's mind."

"HPE StoreOnce Backup to Disk (BTD) is not a good backup solution for NAS devices. It does not have a dual controller, so if one controller fails, the entire system will go down."

"HPE StoreOnce needs to be made cheaper than products from Dell and Veeam."

"HPE StoreOnce should come with a detailed installation guide."

More HPE StoreOnce cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a four or five out of ten."

"The solution is very expensive."

"There is an annual license required for this solution and it is priced well."

"It is approximately $400 to purchase a virtual service outright."

"As an MSP partner, I believe that the prices are fair."

"The licensing cost is for one year. There are not any hidden costs involved in the pricing model of the solution."

"Normally our customers purchase the premium plus license, rather than the standard one, which provides more options."

"The solution is priced well compared to other solutions."

More Arcserve UDP pricing and cost advice

"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."

"I rate the platform's pricing a seven out of ten."

"The price of the product is reasonable."

"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."

"I think the product is competitive in terms of pricing. Other products like the one from Dell are costlier compared to the tool."

"There are costs for additional storage and space."

"The licensing schemes could improve in HPE StoreOnce and the price is high. They should reduce the price."

"The solution is pretty expensive."
