HPE's support is very good, proactive, and monitored through InfoSight.
Most cases are handled perfectly.
I would rate their technical support a 10 out of 10.

HPE StoreOnce is scalable for enterprises, though some models require planning due to capacity limits and additional licensing.

The ability of HPE StoreOnce to scale is strong when more sizing options are available.
The scalability of HPE StoreOnce is very good.
Integration with other vendors is also seamless.
In order to scale Veeam Data Platform, we have to pay a lot more money.

HPE StoreOnce is highly stable with consistent performance, rare issues swiftly resolved, and reliability improving with newer models.
Sentiment score
7.9
Veeam Data Platform provides stable, reliable operations, with minor issues mainly due to external factors, praised for ease and backup confidence.
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.
There are no issues with stability in Veeam Data Platform.
 

Room For Improvement

Users seek improved deduplication, integration, interface, setup, support, storage, performance, pricing, and cloud features in HPE StoreOnce.
Veeam Data Platform needs enhancements in server support, licensing, integration, interface, performance, reporting, and data protection.
If they reintroduce models with 48 terabytes, it would serve small and medium customers better since not everyone requires to back up large data sizes.
It is well-positioned on the radar, with a mature and stable solution.
While the solution does everything expected, it would be beneficial if AI could be integrated for optimization and monitoring.
The improvement we would like to see is the option to scale Veeam Data up in smaller sections rather than large sections, which requires paying much more.
OpenStack is something Veeam Data Platform doesn't support, and they haven't indicated that they will support it in the future.
Compared to IBM, Veeam Data Platform is simpler but brings some challenges with automation in backup and Oracle backup configuration.
 

Setup Cost

HPE StoreOnce setup is costly initially, but offers competitive, feature-rich pricing with capacity-based licensing and bundled support.
Enterprise users find Veeam cost-effective with competitive pricing, flexible licensing, and savings over competitors despite recent price increases.
The solution is quite expensive, possibly rated around seven and a half on a scale of one to ten.
I believe it is not expensive; it's the regular price.
Veeam Data Platform is more expensive than OpenStack because we pay for it in US dollars, while we pay for OpenStack in Egyptian pounds.
A reduction of 20% in the current cost would make the solution more attractive to clients.
 

Valuable Features

HPE StoreOnce provides efficient data management through high-performance deduplication, scalability, and seamless integration for optimal backup and storage solutions.
Veeam Data Platform offers efficient data recovery, integration, and monitoring tools for optimized virtual environments and disaster recovery.
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.
The most effective features for data deduplication are maximizing storage capacity and minimizing expenditure.
The recovery is important.
The platform is user-friendly, comprehensive, and compatible with numerous market solutions, including virtualization and bare metal servers.
The most important aspect of this platform is data security with immutable data in the storage.
Veeam Data Platform provides me with the most useful features such as application restore, single file restore, backup and replication, and continuous replication.
