Global deduplication, stable, and flexible licensing options
I give the solution ten out of ten. This solution offers one dashboard to manage the BC con, disaster recovery plan, DR solution, and backup as well as different licensing options, unlike other OEM products. We are the system integrators for our clients, so we design the solution as per the customer's requirements. We provide several solutions options to our clients such as Druva inSync, Druva Phoenix, and Arcserve UDP with the specifications and the client makes a decision based on their requirements. I would advise potential users to first be clear on whether they are going to use it as a backup solution for compliance purposes, just wanting to take the backups of files and servers, or for instant recovery. The IQ and RPO discussion with our customers usually takes 30 minutes. I recommend this solution.

A tool that offers good performance, backup, and recovery
It is a scalable solution. Though the product is scalable, there are a few limitations when it comes to certain models of the product. I have to go for HPE StoreOnce 3660 to be able to use 80 TB. If I need only 50 TB, meaning I need only low capacity to store data, then I need to choose a product that offers TB space meant for mid-size purposes. There is no model that provides a very small amount of capacity to function when it comes to HPE StoreOnce. If I go to purchase the license, then I need to pay a high price.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Easy restoration and the solution works quickly."
"We are satisfied with Arcserve UDP. The most important feature that we use and why we choose this product is the RHA feature."
"The most valuable feature of StorageCraft ShadowProtect is the speed and the compression of the backups. The compressed backed-up files do not take up as much storage. Additionally, the incremental backups can be done in one minute and be backed up on a disc very fast."
"Arcserve has a feature called virtual standby (VSB), which has been very helpful because I already have a hot standby copy of my critical infrastructure. If something breaks, I can spin up that virtual standby copy in less than five minutes and ensure that my data is available to everyone and that business continuity is maintained."
"It is very stable."
"The solution has no limitations because it does backup for Linux and Windows."
"Our customers are happy with the product’s functionality."
"Instant recovery is the most valuable feature of Arcserve UDP."
"I think the most valuable feature is the catalyst technology, which is in the StoreOnce appliance."
"The product’s data retention is very good."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its catalyst mode, along with better performance, backup, and recovery."
"It results in more efficient storage utilization, cutting capital expenditure in half."
"I think StoreOnce's deduplication technology is crucial for cost efficiency and faster recovery, especially for backup and data protection purposes."
"From a centralized system, I can manage the interface, the backup policies, and the status of the database."
"The most valuable feature of HPE StoreOnce is the virtual drive."
"We also really benefit from the GUI capabilities."
 

Cons

"They could work on their marketing approach. I don't see many people leveraging it."
"It takes much time to verify and consolidate images for backups."
"The speed of restores should be improved. We have found the speed of large restores rather slow."
"The tool doesn't provide cloud integration in India."
"We cannot restore each user's mailbox. Each user's mailbox should be independently restorable. Also, this solution is very slow. If you select all of the servers, it runs for a long time... It needs to be faster. Finally, If anything happens to one server we should be able to switch to another server."
"Based on my experience, whenever we need support, there are difficulties with communication when trying to resolve the issue."
"The solution's reporting could be improved and should provide customized reports."
"We could not go into granular details of retrieving backup information."
"This product would be improved with the inclusion of more features to security or WORM."
"The web interface, ease of use, and GUI all need to be improved."
"The user interface of HPE StoreOnce should be more user-friendly. Additionally, the configuration and troubleshooting could be better."
"Some high-level cybersecurity features could be achieved with some entities, and their integration could be built into the store."
"HPE StoreOnce should come with a detailed installation guide."
"I would like to see an emphasis placed on making data deduplication and compression more powerful."
"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."
"HPE StoreOnce could improve the capacity support."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I feel that the product is fairly priced."
"The pricing of the product can be considered to be reasonable enough for the Asian region."
"The solution is expensive."
"There is an annual license required for this solution and it is priced well."
"The price is based on the number of sockets. We use a four-socket price that includes two servers and the cost is $4,375."
"Pricing is most likely comparable."
"The licensing cost is for one year. There are not any hidden costs involved in the pricing model of the solution."
"As an MSP partner, I believe that the prices are fair."
"There are costs for additional storage and space."
"The cost of HPE StoreOnce is very expensive."
"With the same capacity of Data Domain and ExaGrid, which is 80 terabytes, HPE is the cheapest one."
"The price of the product is reasonable."
"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 licensing schemes could improve in HPE StoreOnce and the price is high. They should reduce the price."
"The product's pricing is medium."
"HPE StoreOnce is cheaper compared to other solutions in the market."
