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 provided us help at a time when we needed a lot of storage quickly."
"If you have a large enough storage capacity then you can take an ample amount of data."
"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 deduplication feature is awesome; the storage space has been cut down by at least 50% and on some instances greater reduction has been achieved."
"The most valuable features of StoreOnce are ease-of-use and ease-of-configuration when compared to the old IBM Tivoli family solution that we're using."
"Deduplication and many integration options ie. NAS, VTL, Catalyst."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its catalyst mode, along with better performance, backup, and recovery."
"The solution is stable."
"The one time backup with incremental forever should release us from this pain."
 

Cons

"We're outsourced with a partner who recalls a larger amount of problems with the stability of the product."
"The dashboard needs more improvement."
"But the initial network setup is not intuitive, and this could be improved."
"I would like to see an emphasis placed on making data deduplication and compression more powerful."
"The product could be improved with better support for data protection."
"The product's price could be better."
"Six months after purchasing StoreOnce, the database became corrupt and the unit had to be replaced."
"We didn't like anything about this product."
"We need more time to discover the cons of the product."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's cost is above average."
"I rate the platform's pricing a seven out of ten."
"The licensing costs is capacity-based and come bundled with support."
"The cost of HPE StoreOnce is very expensive."
"The solution is pretty expensive."
"The licensing schemes could improve in HPE StoreOnce and the price is high. They should reduce the price."
"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."
"The product is not expensive. It is available at a good price."
