Their average mean time to resolve open tickets is an hour.
The right expertise, a timely response, and being able to get to the right person to help you resolve the problem are very important.

HPE StoreOnce is scalable and integrates well, supporting large data demands, though cost can be a concern when expanding.

Sentiment score

Users find Infrascale Backup reliable with minimal issues; responsive support and improved usability enhance overall satisfaction.
I would rate the stability a ten out of ten.
There was a recent announcement in terms of moving Infrascale to the cloud, which makes it easier for the customer in terms of usability.
 

Room For Improvement

HPE StoreOnce needs better deduplication, integration, and security alongside improved performance, user interface, support, and cost efficiency.
Users seek improved pricing clarity, bandwidth control, security, integration, dashboard functionality, intuitive interface, SSDs, and flexible licensing.
It is well-positioned on the radar, with a mature and stable solution.
While the solution does everything expected, it would be beneficial if AI could be integrated for optimization and monitoring.
Many customers do not rely on just one cloud provider and want to work with multiple clouds.
When the product works, there is really nothing to fix, but they can allow different types of backups, such as differential or incremental backups.
 

Setup Cost

HPE StoreOnce pricing is competitive but seen as high with mixed satisfaction, influencing its perceived value against competitors.
Infrascale's pricing is competitive and flexible, though users find the licensing structure complex and occasionally higher than competitors.
The solution is quite expensive, possibly rated around seven and a half on a scale of one to ten.
To someone considering Infrascale but is concerned about the price, I would say that they should get Infrascale's service no matter what it costs because any downtime or any loss of data is substantially worse than any cost for backup.
The per-terabyte pricing is very competitive compared to the others.
 

Valuable Features

HPE StoreOnce excels in deduplication, improving storage efficiency, backup speeds, and integration, offering flexible, cost-effective data management.
Infrascale offers easy, rapid disaster recovery with robust features like fast VM boot-up, centralized management, and strong data protection.
The most effective features for data deduplication are maximizing storage capacity and minimizing expenditure.
The recovery is important.
What I like the most about it is that backups and restores are simple, straightforward, and clean.
Performing backup and recovery can be done very intuitively with the solution and the interface that is part of the solution.

Harry Vining - PeerSpot reviewer
The overall ease of use and ease of management using the dashboard is excellent
I can't really think of anything that really needs to be improved from my perspective, because I only use the backup. Maybe someone who is using something else might have a different opinion on that. But for the online backup and recovery tool, I'm not going to say there's anything that needs improvement. They can always improve stuff. But from the top of my head, I can't think of anything. It does what it needs to do. That's it. It doesn't need to do anything more than what it does and nothing less than what it's doing. The Infrascale dashboard when it comes to centralized deployment and configuration is excellent. I have no problems with the solution. They could always make it better. They can always make the GUI a little bit nicer, the interface level a bit better. There's always room for improvement, but there's nothing on the top of my head that's saying, "Hey, this is what needs to be fixed." But, the programmers are probably working on their own things. So, there's always room for improvement.
