Pros
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.""The stability is quite good.

"Currently, VTLs can only be created on individual service sets and cannot be used to share the resources of other nodes.""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 initial setup is simple.""HPE StoreOnce works well, it is stable.""I think StoreOnce's deduplication technology is crucial for cost efficiency and faster recovery, especially for backup and data protection purposes.""Catalyst backup is used to back up Oracle databases, and provides very good throughput during backups.""It's easy to backup data, manage. A""Technical support is quite good."

Cons
"We could set up the installation through a web server, but it's not very reactive on the web server. For example, when you launch a task, and you don't know exactly if the task has begun or if the task is in progress, or if it's finished. You have to wait for three to five to ten minutes to be sure that the task is running or in progress or finished. So at that point, it's not very good.""If the solution came with a synchronous application, it would be particularly advantageous for small businesses operating across multiple sites.""In the next release, I would like the deduplication and compression included, as well as the flash technology. It doesn't currently use it.""I would like to see improvements made to the user interface.""The implementation process takes a while.""Dell PowerVault is block-oriented storage only.""The price of the solution could be lower.""PowerVault could be improved by increasing its memory cache capacity and adding the ability to export data to the cloud."

More Dell PowerVault Cons →

"HPE StoreOnce could improve the capacity support.""The GUI and its user-friendliness have some room for improvement.""HPE StoreOnce needs to provide a SaaS solution by offering high-density disks.""The solution's pricing could be improved.""Agnostic backups.""Cloud integration needs to be simplified.""I would like to see better integration with Veeam software.""The appliance doesn't have the global deduplication, it has StoreOnce deduplication. It does not deduplicate across the appliance, it will deduplicate in one particular store. With the global deduplication, I could store more data."

  • "Price-wise, it comes with a high price tag when compared to other products."

We specifically took 10 TB for very critical offsite backups. We can also increase it in blocks if needed."
