Room For Improvement

Users seek improved deduplication, integration, interface, setup, support, storage, performance, pricing, and cloud features in HPE StoreOnce.
Nasuni struggles with cloud integration, performance, and user experience, needing improvements in data retention, security, and analytics.
If they reintroduce models with 48 terabytes, it would serve small and medium customers better since not everyone requires to back up large data sizes.

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.
Technical Director of Managed IT Division at base2
I suggest Nasuni improve their syslog forwarders to support TCP protocol, as it's more secure than UDP, which is plain text and not protected at all.

Setup Cost

HPE StoreOnce setup is costly initially, but offers competitive, feature-rich pricing with capacity-based licensing and bundled support.
Nasuni offers competitive pricing with flexible cloud compatibility, licensing per terabyte, and cost-effective enterprise solutions.

Collaborate effectively with partners and benefit from robust data management capabilities
The functions of HPE StoreOnce that I find most valuable are its deduplication and replication options. These features save data and reduce the size of data significantly. If the actual size for backup data is 100 terabytes, using StoreOnce, it will be around less than 10% of the original size due to the 1 to 10 deduplication ratio. So, compression and replication are critical features I appreciate. Additionally, adaptive backup and restore capabilities of HPE StoreOnce are indeed very helpful functions. As I know from my technical team, the process is very easy for end users because the GUI and user experience with StoreOnce are straightforward. They can restore their backups at any time. An important feature of StoreOnce is that they can reserve an amount of storage capacity as protected capacity for a limited time, safeguarding their data against intrusion and other interactions. Based on feedback from customers, StoreOnce is regarded as a highly useful solution for backup. I am satisfied with the security aspects of HPE StoreOnce, but it's crucial for any company to maintain a multi-layer security approach. Starting with a firewall is essential for maintaining their environment. Additionally, security features on StoreOnce are useful. I believe that no company should rely solely on one layer of security; they should adopt a multi-layer security strategy that begins at the network level and extends to their internal solutions.
