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

ROI

Sentiment score
7.2
HPE StoreOnce enhances cost efficiency, speeds restores, and offers scalability, leading to generally high user satisfaction despite varied ROI.
Sentiment score
7.5
Nasuni users enjoy cost savings, increased productivity, and efficiency from reduced labor, cloud scalability, and improved data management.
If we request the price for StoreOnce as a standalone product, it tends to be higher than when it is included in a larger solution where we can receive better discounts.
 

Customer Service

Sentiment score
7.6
HPE StoreOnce customer service is highly regarded for its responsiveness, knowledgeable staff, reliable service, and flexible support offerings.
Sentiment score
8.2
Nasuni's customer service is praised for responsiveness and professionalism, efficiently solving issues with reliable and knowledgeable support.
HPE's support is very good, proactive, and monitored through InfoSight.
When we open a case for support during installation or other matters, they are always timely and provide full support.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.4
HPE StoreOnce is scalable for enterprises, though some models require planning due to capacity limits and additional licensing.
Sentiment score
7.3
Nasuni offers scalable, user-friendly data storage, efficiently meeting diverse organizational needs and supporting physical or virtual deployments.
The ability of HPE StoreOnce to scale is strong when more sizing options are available.
The scalability of HPE StoreOnce is very good.
I rated the scalability as seven because even though the solution can scale, load balancing must be done manually, as it's not automated.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.7
HPE StoreOnce is highly stable with consistent performance, rare issues swiftly resolved, and reliability improving with newer models.
Sentiment score
8.2
Nasuni is praised for its stability, offering reliable performance, minimal maintenance, and flexibility with virtually no downtime issues.
For the stability of HPE StoreOnce, based on customer feedback, I rate it highly as one of the most stable products in the backup and archiving line.
 

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.
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.
The solution is quite expensive, possibly rated around seven and a half on a scale of one to ten.
I prefer solutions with lower pricing.
 

Valuable Features

HPE StoreOnce provides efficient data management through high-performance deduplication, scalability, and seamless integration for optimal backup and storage solutions.
Nasuni provides scalable cloud-based file management with global file locking, data security, and efficient disaster recovery features.
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.
The most effective features for data deduplication are maximizing storage capacity and minimizing expenditure.
The recovery is important.
The features I find most valuable in Nasuni are the unlimited snapshots, antivirus capabilities, auditing, and ransomware protection.

It helped us save 40 to 45 percent on some types of data
It can provide a 360-degree view of your data, depending on how you implement it and whether you're storing your data in Nasuni. However, if you're working with multiple cloud providers, I don't think it's mature enough to provide a 360-degree view of what's in AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. I think it can do it, but it's still a lot of scope and range fitting. Given that Nasuni storage is actually cheaper in some areas, it made sense for us to move a lot of our data away from Microsoft. Nasuni gave us more of a 360 view of that particular data type. Other data types are a little different because the company went in a direction where they wanted to store some stuff in an AWS S3 bucket rather than a file storage system. An S3 bucket has its advantages, but if you were to store more of your data in Nasuni, you would get a wider 360-degree view of it rather than on several cloud providers. I have data in AWS, Google, and Azure, and I would like to see a wider view of all the data stored across these three top providers. Currently, I use it for AWS and Azure, but I couldn't use both of them at the same time. I think Nasuni could have better visibility across these different areas. I had to take my data out and then do some analysis to get the costs. It would be helpful to have more built-in analytics tools to compare the storage costs between the various cloud providers. I would also like some graphing capabilities. We had a tool called Grafana that we used for graphing. I think some more visual analytics like that would be nice.
