Collaborate effectively with partners and benefit from robust data management capabilities
The functions of HPE StoreOnce that I find most valuable are its deduplication and replication options. These features save data and reduce the size of data significantly. 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. So, compression and replication are critical features I appreciate. Additionally, adaptive backup and restore capabilities of HPE StoreOnce are indeed very helpful functions. As I know from my technical team, the process is very easy for end users because the GUI and user experience with StoreOnce are straightforward. They can restore their backups at any time. An important feature of StoreOnce is that they can reserve an amount of storage capacity as protected capacity for a limited time, safeguarding their data against intrusion and other interactions. Based on feedback from customers, StoreOnce is regarded as a highly useful solution for backup. I am satisfied with the security aspects of HPE StoreOnce, but it's crucial for any company to maintain a multi-layer security approach. Starting with a firewall is essential for maintaining their environment. Additionally, security features on StoreOnce are useful. I believe that no company should rely solely on one layer of security; they should adopt a multi-layer security strategy that begins at the network level and extends to their internal solutions.

Creates cost optimization by eliminating required backup agent licenses
One of the current challenges: More than 60TB database, weekly backup taking over two days, and incremental is almost over eight hours. This is extremely resource consuming with a lot of backup duration, etc. Recovery also becomes tough. The one time backup with incremental forever should release us from this pain.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Deduplication and replication are both extremely important for storing huge chunks of data."
"The ease of use is excellent and the price point is very competitive."
"Over 51TB of data is backed up and replicated off-site every week quickly and reliably, compared to the laborious tape archiving solution we had in the past."
"HPE backup systems are very good products, easy to manage, with very good performance, a lot of ongoing new development, and good integration with many backup or storage products."
"It has very simple architecture compared to the old HP VLS and also provides ease of management and is easy to configure."
"Quick recovery."
"StoreOnce is a backup solution with Data Protector in DDD and streaming through offsite storage, and it works just fine."
"The most valuable feature would be the high deduplication ratios, capable of 20 or more to 1 dedup ratio in a real-world backup environment."
"The one time backup with incremental forever should release us from this pain."
 

Cons

"StoreOnce software is sometimes unstable."
"We have had some issues. We are working with HPE to solve all the issues."
"They could provide more options for storage capacity. At the moment, they only have an 80-terabyte storage facility."
"The solution's technical support should be faster."
"A feature that is missing, compared to the competition, is the ability to globally duplicate all systems."
"The product's price could be better."
"The CIFS share service performance is really poor; it is a nightmare."
"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."
"We need more time to discover the cons of the product."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product's pricing is medium."
"The price of the product is reasonable."
"HPE StoreOnce is cheaper compared to other solutions in the market."
"I rate the platform's pricing a seven out of ten."
"I think the product is competitive in terms of pricing. Other products like the one from Dell are costlier compared to the tool."
"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."
"The product is not expensive. It is available at a good price."
