If we request the price for StoreOnce as a standalone product, it tends to be higher than when it is included in a larger solution where we can receive better discounts.
Supporting Dell PowerVault is very easy.
The technical support for Dell PowerVault is pretty good and they usually get back to us in a couple of hours with a technical engineer.
When things get more complex and there are interdependencies with other vendors, Dell still struggles a bit, for example, regarding Microsoft products.
HPE's support is very good, proactive, and monitored through InfoSight.
When we open a case for support during installation or other matters, they are always timely and provide full support.
I don't face any issues with security with Dell PowerVault.
Dell PowerVault has features that specifically address the needs of small and medium-sized businesses because it is always very well received with the price-performance ratios that we have repeatedly seen out in the field.
It is a system that was chosen specifically for this capability, allowing extension as needed and providing scalability on demand.
The ability of HPE StoreOnce to scale is strong when more sizing options are available.
The scalability of HPE StoreOnce is very good.
This was especially important given the choice to store video that is extremely critical both from a general point of view and from a legal point of view, where data must be kept and secured.
Dell PowerVault has been stable.
The stability and reliability of Dell PowerVault have faced several failures, but these are not related to system outages at customers, rather related to hard drives or a security feature that then did not work.
For the stability of HPE StoreOnce, based on customer feedback, I rate it highly as one of the most stable products in the backup and archiving line.
It would be beneficial for Dell to enhance outreach to new customers directly to prevent resellers from scaring them away with higher pricing.
Only when environments become more complex, especially in the enterprise area, does Dell PowerVault struggle in the software area, including centralized management.
There are two aspects to consider: replication, meaning replicating data from one site to another concerning Dell PowerVault, and another very important area where significant improvement is needed—everything related to expansion rules.
It is well-positioned on the radar, with a mature and stable solution.
The benefits of StoreOnce, which we discussed, include its compression capabilities with a ratio of 1 to 10.
While the solution does everything expected, it would be beneficial if AI could be integrated for optimization and monitoring.
I don't think it's terribly priced, but Pure Storage is cheaper.
The solution is quite expensive, possibly rated around seven and a half on a scale of one to ten.
We've even used PowerVault series that we intended to use for five years for almost eight years, and it was still working fine, providing good ROI compared to any other brand.
What differentiates Dell PowerVault from other storage solutions is the performance combined with the ability to meet significant bandwidth consumption needs.
The stability of Dell PowerVault is good; I would rate it a nine.
If the actual size for backup data is 100 terabytes, using StoreOnce, it will be around less than 10% of the original size due to the 1 to 10 deduplication ratio.
The most effective features for data deduplication are maximizing storage capacity and minimizing expenditure.
The recovery is important.
