Excellent performance, scalable, easy to install, and outstanding support
Both the pricing and the performance are excellent. I don't have any issues with this solution at all. In my use case, there is nothing I would change about it.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Both the pricing and the performance are excellent."
"The most valuable features of ExaGrid EX are the Veeam features and Landing Zone."
"Currently, VTLs can only be created on individual service sets and cannot be used to share the resources of other nodes."
"The stability of the solution is excellent."
"The most valuable feature of HPE StoreOnce is the virtual drive."
"The deduplication feature in this product is amazing."
"It is very easy to implement."
"The most effective features for data deduplication are maximizing storage capacity and minimizing expenditure."
"It's easy to backup data, manage. A"
"I like the tool’s deduplication feature. We get a ratio of 9:1 for deduplication. The product is also Linux based. Last year, our organization faced some virus attacks. However, the backup was safe because of the product being a Linux version. HPE StoreOnce is a secure product."
 

Cons

"The solution’s web access should be improved."
"I would like to see free disk space."
"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."
"The solution must provide backup options for smaller capacities."
"Its customer service could be faster."
"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."
"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."
"The latency is a bit high."
"Agnostic backups."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate ExaGrid EX ten out of ten for pricing."
"The renewal fee is approximately $3,500 to $3.750 for a 60 terabyte device."
"I think the product is competitive in terms of pricing. Other products like the one from Dell are costlier compared to the tool."
