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.

Creates cost optimization by eliminating required backup agent licenses
One of the current challenges: More than 60TB database, weekly backup taking over two days, and incremental is almost over eight hours. This is extremely resource consuming with a lot of backup duration, etc. Recovery also becomes tough. The one time backup with incremental forever should release us from this pain.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The support for this solution is the best in our country."
"Before we used HP StoreOnce, the backup was stored on DAS, which was fine until you have a problem in a disk and lose all your data."
"This solution has allowed us to feel confident in that we have a mechanism for the full recovery of service, and not only our data."
"HPE StoreOnce works well, it is stable."
"I'm impressed with their support structure, call availability, understanding, flexibility in scheduling remote sessions, and accommodating customer timeframes."
"Deduplication and replication are both extremely important for storing huge chunks of data."
"Previously, if someone lost a file it could take 10 minutes to locate and load the appropriate tape, now the restore time is around five seconds."
"The most valuable features are the deduplication and compression capabilities."
"The one time backup with incremental forever should release us from this pain."
 

Cons

"HPE StoreOnce needs to be made cheaper than products from Dell and Veeam."
"The cost is at the forefront of everyone's mind."
"We stopped investigating because we were not really happy with the application."
"That can be difficult and frustrating at times, but over ten years working with them, I would say today it's probably a little better than when I first started."
"In order to import tapes from StoreOnce, we had to identify the ID of the items in each store on the appliances, and then create them manually on the HP Data Protector."
"We didn't like anything about this product."
"The initial setup is quite complex and difficult."
"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."
"We need more time to discover the cons of the product."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing costs is capacity-based and come bundled with support."
"To be honest, we were quite happy with the price, but we always want things cheaper than they are. I think for what we got, we felt that the price was quite reasonable comparing it to other products that provide that same level of functionality."
"The cost of HPE StoreOnce is very expensive."
"I would rate it around two or three because, compared to others, it tends to be higher priced."
"Price-wise, it comes with a high price tag when compared to other products."
"I rate the platform's pricing a seven out of ten."
"I think the product is competitive in terms of pricing. Other products like the one from Dell are costlier compared to the tool."
"The product's pricing is medium."
