"It is an inexpensive storage solution."
"Dell PowerVault is cheap."
"The Dell warranty is the most valuable feature."
"I find this solution to be cost-effective in providing data storage for clients."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Dell PowerVault is user-friendly and easy to deploy."
"For us, the initial setup was easy."
"PowerVault comes with free software that performs functions like data deduplication and replication, which is cost-effective and delivers added value to the product."
"The deduplication feature in this product is amazing."
"We also really benefit from the GUI capabilities."
"From a centralized system, I can manage the interface, the backup policies, and the status of the database."
"The speed and deduplication ratio are two of the most valuable features of the solution."
"The interface is very user-friendly."
"Currently, VTLs can only be created on individual service sets and cannot be used to share the resources of other nodes."
"The valuable feature is the ability to work with the Veeam software to reduce the backup windows."
"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."
"Dell PowerVault is block-oriented storage only."
"I would like Dell to improve on the configuration of the disk groups. Only one group is expandable. Once you configure the other disk group types, you cannot expand them. It limits scalability. If you want maybe to grow a disk group, you lose information, and then you need to build it up again, which is not a good use case for customers."
"The product is generally stable, but there have been instances, to my knowledge, where we faced issues in the controller during software upgrades. The availability is not at the desired level during these upgrade processes, as we sometimes need to shut down both controllers. This could be an area for improvement."
"PowerVault doesn't integrate with Active Directory. Other storage solutions offer SAN and NAS unified storage in a single appliance, but PowerVault is only SAN."
"The price of the solution could be lower."
"The tool needs to improve its UI."
"Dell PowerVault could improve by having a higher cache and file protocol support added."
"I would like to see improvements made to the user interface."
"Hardware maintenance involves some downtime for backup destination storage which can be a problem for some."
"Some high-level cybersecurity features could be achieved with some entities, and their integration could be built into the store."
"The web interface, ease of use, and GUI all need to be improved."
"HPE StoreOnce needs to provide a SaaS solution by offering high-density disks."
"We would like to see some improvements in the Veeam Backup & Replication integration. It's good, but it has a lot of room to improve. In particular around the inability to easily move data between StoreOnce appliances."
"They could provide more options for storage capacity."
"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."
"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."
