Arcserve UDP vs HPE StoreOnce comparison

"I would recommend it if there is a general case."

"The most valuable feature of Arcserve UDP is live replication."

"It's simple to set up."

"The data protection functionality is the most valuable feature of this solution."

"The most valuable feature of Arcserve UDP is the initiative UI and the logs are clear and detailed that are generated when there has been an issue or failure on the user's system. We only have to log onto the client's system to retrieve the information. It is possible to precisely identify the problem's location. The system categorizes and logs every step in a structured manner, selectively displaying only the essential logs. However, to view a comprehensive log, one must access the line machine log and examine the actual client for detailed logging."

"The most valuable features of this solution are that I can by just one click, copy and paste anything that I would want. I do not have to restore the whole virtual machine."

"It is a very stable solution...It is a scalable solution."

"We are satisfied with Arcserve UDP. The most important feature that we use and why we choose this product is the RHA feature."

"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."

"Based on customer feedback, I rate it highly as one of the most stable products in the backup and archiving line compared to offerings like Data Domain or from Huawei and Lenovo."

"The initial setup is one of the most user-friendly B2B user solutions. It's good, it's easy. Deployment usually takes less than one day. You only need one person for deployment and maintenance."

"The valuable feature is the ability to work with the Veeam software to reduce the backup windows."

"It is very easy to implement."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is its UI. The product's UI makes it easy for users to configure the tool."

"Has very good deduplication and encryption features."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is that the tool provides good value for somebody who needs an affordable and reliable storage solution."

"Its interface can be improved. I find it unintuitive."

"They could work on their marketing approach. I don't see many people leveraging it."

"The solution can use a lot of bandwidth when the scheduling is not done, it should auto-schedule itself. For example, if there are 50 users connected in the network at 12 o'clock and the backup is not scheduled. At this time the network offices are going to have performance issues when it is doing a backup. Having a feature to auto-schedule a time when the network is not being used often would be beneficial."

"The time to backup servers that sit in DMZ must be improved."

"We are looking at scaling up to the cloud and using immutable copies on the cloud. Arcserve UDP 8.0 does have the immutable feature supporting AWS, but I'm looking for multi-cloud support. So, I'm waiting for Arcserve to release that in the next release."

"The only problem with the solution is that when I change the drive capacity, it has to do a full backup. It's a problem when I have five servers to backup. When I only want to change the size of the drive, I have to do a full backup that can take one week."

"Based on my experience, whenever we need support, there are difficulties with communication when trying to resolve the issue."

"StorageCraft ShadowProtect can improve by making one console that can control backups of all desktops and servers in one place. Additionally, the recovery process of the backups is very slow and could improve. It's very slow when we went to recover a complete disc but to recover one file is very fast."

"We stopped investigating because we were not really happy with the application."

"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 GUI and its user-friendliness have some room for improvement."

"We're outsourced with a partner who recalls a larger amount of problems with the stability of the product."

"The solution's technical support should be faster."

"HPE StoreOnce could improve the capacity support."

"I don't see any new features that we could want or anything that could be done along those lines. Just that we need a bigger machine, so more speed."

"One item I wanted to see is SSD drives as a cache, and that was, for a time, still lacking in StoreOnce, however, they have done it now. It's not available yet, however, it will be shortly."

"We only have the maintenance of three standard UDP licenses. Each license is 50 Euro. There are some additional costs for the storage and software but it has nothing to do with the UDP."

"The solution is not very expensive, but it is not cheap."

"Normally our customers purchase the premium plus license, rather than the standard one, which provides more options."

"The solution is expensive."

"The pricing of the product can be considered to be reasonable enough for the Asian region."

"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a four or five out of ten."

"There is an annual license required for this solution and it is priced well."

"The solution is very expensive."

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

"With the same capacity of Data Domain and ExaGrid, which is 80 terabytes, HPE is the cheapest one."

"There are costs for additional storage and space."

"I would rate it around two or three because, compared to others, it tends to be higher priced."

"The licensing schemes could improve in HPE StoreOnce and the price is high. They should reduce the price."

"We have got a perpetual license, and we have access to all the features. If you are using cloud banks, you can store the internal data in HPE Cloud if needed. You can offload the data to the HPE Cloud. It is a licensed product. We have got around 10 TB of cloud bank storage with a one-time payment. We specifically took 10 TB for very critical offsite backups. We can also increase it in blocks if needed."

"The price puts me off. It's definitely on the high side."

"I rate the platform's pricing a seven out of ten."
