"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 most valuable feature of Dell PowerVault is its performance."
"I like the tool's CloudIQ feature."
"Dell PowerVault is user-friendly and easy to deploy."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it is easy to manage and easy to use."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The storage has been good."
"The stability is quite good. Once you deploy all the equipment, it's very stable."
"The scalability is very good."
"The valuable feature is the ability to work with the Veeam software to reduce the backup windows."
"The implementation is straightforward."
"The product's most valuable feature is stability."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that the tool provides good value for somebody who needs an affordable and reliable storage solution."
"Has very good deduplication and encryption features."
"It is a very scalable solution."
"I think the most valuable feature is the catalyst technology, which is in the StoreOnce appliance."
"The tool needs to improve its UI."
"Dell PowerVault is block-oriented storage only."
"The product could support an NVMe hard disk."
"The implementation process takes a while."
"We need higher performance and more reliable storage."
"We could set up the installation through a web server, but it's not very reactive on the web server. For example, when you launch a task, and you don't know exactly if the task has begun or if the task is in progress, or if it's finished. You have to wait for three to five to ten minutes to be sure that the task is running or in progress or finished. So at that point, it's not very good."
"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."
"I would like to see improvements made to the user interface."
"The web interface, ease of use, and GUI all need to be improved."
"Its customer service could be faster."
"HPE StoreOnce needs to be made cheaper than products from Dell and Veeam."
"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."
"They could provide more options for storage capacity."
"HPE should have more options so customers can choose from a wide range of products with small to big capacities."
"The user interface of HPE StoreOnce is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"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."
