"The deduplication feature in this product is amazing."
"Has very good deduplication and encryption features."
"The product's most valuable feature is stability."
"The scalability is very good."
"It is a very scalable solution."
"The valuable feature is the ability to work with the Veeam software to reduce the backup windows."
"This is a user-friendly solution."
"It is a scalable product."
"The product provides automated and faster data backup and recovery compared to other vendors."
"It is a simple and flexible solution to work with."
"One of the valuable features is the instant recovery for VMs. It reduces the RTO (Recovery Time Objective) drastically."
"The product's most valuable feature is scalability."
"For us, the main two features that we appreciate in this application are backup and restore. They are the main purposes for which we are using this application."
"The backup potential of the solution is very good. It's protected us in the past very well and allowed us to get up and running after an attack with minimal loss."
"Good open file option feature, SQL agent, and EM agent."
"Hardware maintenance involves some downtime for backup destination storage which can be a problem for some."
"It is difficult to solve issues with this solution remotely. I prefer to use the knowledge base platforms. The response time could improve."
"The solution must provide backup options for smaller capacities."
"The web interface, ease of use, and GUI all need to be improved."
"I would like to see an emphasis placed on making data deduplication and compression more powerful."
"HPE StoreOnce could improve the capacity support."
"The solution should continue to refine its integration capabilities. I also see they are starting to use cloud integration as well, which is good, but they should do more to integrate with it."
"When it comes to upgrading, it always goes block-wise. One block is 48 TB raw capacity. It would be good if they can include a smaller capacity for SMB customers. Currently, it is not possible to increase in a smaller capacity. You have to buy the exact same unit. It would be great if they can provide a smaller next block. There are around 20 hard disks, and it would be really helpful if we can add 10 hard disks initially and 10 hard disks later."
"The pricing could be improved."
"The reports could be made in an easier way."
"At the moment, we have a very complex environment. It would take some time to deploy an environment like ours from scratch."
"They can work on the issue of the job timing out when it is unable to reach a selection item. It sometimes hangs up on the selection item, thus preventing the job from continuing."
"Currently, the solution does not have the capability to restore a single mailbox, so you lose a lot of time having to restore for example ten mailboxes just to recover one."
"Firstly, the GUI for 2014 is mostly confusing, i.e., if you need to add any additional technical features, then it doesn't require a change to the GUI."
"Its scalability should be improved."
"I wish that they have an outlet for the other products from Veritas built into the Backup Exec product. For example, Backup Exec does only server backup. Currently, it is possible to read the backup of one other product, but if they can add more products so that you can just go into the dashboard of these other products by clicking on a button within the Backup Exec product, it would be great."
