"The speed and deduplication ratio are two of the most valuable features of the solution."
"HPE StoreOnce is particularly useful in situations where organizations require a backup solution to store their data. Its deduplication feature is quite impressive, providing a deduplication ratio of around 25 to 26."
"If you have a large enough storage capacity then you can take an ample amount of data."
"The implementation is straightforward."
"The initial setup is simple."
"It results in more efficient storage utilization, cutting capital expenditure in half."

"Deduplication is the most valuable feature."
"The pricing could be better, but it's still not too expensive."
"Technical support needs improvement."
"Installation and deployment for this product need improvement. These processes need to made easier. Currently, it's not an easy installation for customers. This product needs to be installed by professionals."
"Data Domain lacks compatibility with fiber channels and tapes. We can't use it with a tape library. That's an issue in Latin America sometimes because a lot of clients still use tapes for budget reasons. Maybe they have a lot of archives. In North America and Europe, they do a lot of archiving, but they use the cloud more than we do. Sometimes we have to put together a Frankenstein where we connect another server to the tape library and send all the data there."
"The usage of this solution is a bit difficult to develop processes, and it takes a long time to market permits."
"The pricing should be adjusted. Customers continuously talk about the price. They know it is a good solution and they really need the type of storage the solution offers, but it costs somewhere around $100,000 and up. It's not cheap, but it's very important for data vendors."
"They should reduce the CPC cost to customers. The product is becoming very expensive."
"It helps if you have in-depth knowledge in order to use it correctly."
"The repository should have an extension to connect to the cloud and deposit the backups."
"HPE should have more options so customers can choose from a wide range of products with small to big capacities."
"In terms of areas for improvement, I believe HPE StoreOnce could learn from competitors like Dell's Data Domain and ExtraHop in refining its architecture."
"The web interface, ease of use, and GUI all need to be improved."
"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."
"The solution must provide backup options for smaller capacities."
"While StoreOnce has many features, it needs to focus on integrating with third-party backup software solutions."
"We're outsourced with a partner who recalls a larger amount of problems with the stability of the product."
