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

"It results in more efficient storage utilization, cutting capital expenditure in half."
"The solution saves a lot of storage capacity."
"Nothing's perfect, but the speed we get from the system, the deduplication we get from the system, the replication, it all works as designed."
"I like the tool’s deduplication feature. We get a ratio of 9:1 for deduplication. The product is also Linux based. Last year, our organization faced some virus attacks. However, the backup was safe because of the product being a Linux version. HPE StoreOnce is a secure product."
"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."
"If you have a large enough storage capacity then you can take an ample amount of data."
"Previously, if someone lost a file it could take 10 minutes to locate and load the appropriate tape, now the restore time is around five seconds."
"If you want a reliable and reasonably-priced product, I would recommend it."
"The one time backup with incremental forever should release us from this pain."
 

Cons

"The web interface, ease of use, and GUI all need to be improved."
"Its customer service could be faster."
"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."
"We would like to see some improvements in the Veeam Backup & Replication integration. It's good, but it has a lot of room to improve. In particular around the inability to easily move data between StoreOnce appliances."
"Some high-level cybersecurity features could be achieved with some entities, and their integration could be built into the store."
"A feature that is missing, compared to the competition, is the ability to globally duplicate all systems."
"The dashboard needs more improvement."
"The appliance doesn't have global deduplication, it has StoreOnce deduplication. It does not deduplicate across the appliance, it will deduplicate in one particular store."
"We need more time to discover the cons of the product."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price puts me off. It's definitely on the high side."
"The price of the product is reasonable."
"There are costs for additional storage and space."
"HPE StoreOnce is cheaper compared to other solutions in the market."
"The cost of HPE StoreOnce is very expensive."
"The licensing costs is capacity-based and come bundled with support."
"The product is not expensive. It is available at a good price."
"I would rate it around two or three because, compared to others, it tends to be higher priced."

I think StoreOnce's deduplication technology is crucial for cost efficiency and faster recovery, especially for backup and data protection purposes.
What needs improvement with HPE StoreOnce?
To improve HPE StoreOnce, I think if HPE generates new models with lower capacities than 80 terabytes, it would be beneficial for the market. We face a significant issue with the current offerings....
