A scalable solution with Veeam and Vertias alliance
I am impressed with the tool's technical alliance with Veeam and Veritas.  The product needs to improve performance while scaling out. It also needs to improve stability.  I have been using the product since seven years.  I would rate the product's stability a nine out of ten. I would rate the…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most effective features for data deduplication are maximizing storage capacity and minimizing expenditure."
"I think the most valuable feature is the catalyst technology, which is in the StoreOnce appliance."
"The product's most valuable feature is stability."
"The interface is very user-friendly."
"The stability of the solution is excellent."
"The implementation is straightforward."
"It is very easy to implement."
"It's easy to backup data, manage. A"
"I am impressed with the tool's technical alliance with Veeam and Veritas."
"While the challenges posed by the difficulties were significant, they prompted the replacement of problematic components, resulting in the resolution of issues. Importantly, there were no substantial ongoing concerns. Regarding the overall performance, it has been consistently excellent."
 

Cons

"The solution's technical support should be faster."
"The solution could always be less expensive."
"We archive our backups on tape, so I feel like if we could somehow plug our tape drive directly into the StoreOnce device and set it up to where it would archive based on, if some kind of rules based engine or what have you, that would really be an improvement for us."
"The repository should have an extension to connect to the cloud and deposit the backups."
"We do not foresee the need to have an artificial intelligence app. It is not mature enough."
"improvement? HPE StoreOnce has a limitation with respect to controllers. Other tools offer more than one controller. I feel that the high availability of the view controller should be redundant. The tool’s control and UI part should be improved and made more advanced. The feature that helps with the manual movement of tapes should also be improved."
"The platform's price could be lower."
"HPE StoreOnce needs to provide a SaaS solution by offering high-density disks."
"Perhaps the most notable area for enhancement lies in the web interface for management. The current limitations in LDAP editing capabilities are not addressed in the UI, and I haven't observed any recent updates. It's possible that the new version of the DXI service incorporates improvements in the GUI, but I cannot confirm. While there is room for improvement in the current GUI, it remains a relatively minor issue. Overall, the system is comprehensive, covering aspects such as reports on latency and networking, leaving little room for additional enhancements in those areas."
"The product needs to improve performance while scaling out. It also needs to improve stability."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I think the product is competitive in terms of pricing. Other products like the one from Dell are costlier compared to the tool."
"Price-wise, it comes with a high price tag when compared to other products."
"HPE StoreOnce is cheaper compared to other solutions in the market."
"I rate the product's pricing a seven out of ten."
"The price puts me off. It's definitely on the high side."
"The licensing schemes could improve in HPE StoreOnce and the price is high. They should reduce the price."
"I would rate it around two or three because, compared to others, it tends to be higher priced."
"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."
"I do not oversee this aspect, as pricing is contingent on factors such as volume, technical specifications, and the desired features. Consequently, I lack information on the pricing details and structure."
