Cost savings and efficient decompression but needs better cloud integration

Quotes from Members

"The ease of use is the best feature of the product."

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

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

More HPE StoreOnce pros

Cons

"In the most recent version of premium plus the replication has been removed, and it should re-added to the solution."

"The tool doesn't provide cloud integration in India."

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

"The time to backup servers that sit in DMZ must be improved."

"The solution's reporting could be improved and should provide customized reports."

"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."

"We are looking at scaling up to the cloud and using immutable copies on the cloud. Arcserve UDP 8.0 does have the immutable feature supporting AWS, but I'm looking for multi-cloud support. So, I'm waiting for Arcserve to release that in the next release."

"Its interface can be improved. I find it unintuitive."

More Arcserve UDP cons

"We have lost some market due to the minimum capacity now being 80 terabytes."

"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."

"They could provide more options for storage capacity."

"It is difficult to solve issues with this solution remotely. I prefer to use the knowledge base platforms. The response time could improve."

"The product could be improved with better support for data protection."

"I would like to see an emphasis placed on making data deduplication and compression more powerful."

"The latency is a bit high."

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."

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

"The retail fee is $1300 for a year for one server. Other than that, there is just the cost of your hardware."

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

"The solution is very expensive."

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

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

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

More Arcserve UDP pricing and cost advice

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

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

"HPE StoreOnce is cheaper compared to other solutions in the market."

"The product is not expensive. It is available at a good price."

"There are costs for additional storage and space."

"The solution is pretty expensive."

"The price puts me off. It's definitely on the high side."
