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

"It's cost effective, technologically advanced, and very scalable."
"The product was easy for me in terms of architecture, deployment and support."
"StoreOnce scaling has been good."
"Personally, I think it's the best storage product in HPE for small to medium-sized businesses."
"Currently, VTLs can only be created on individual service sets and cannot be used to share the resources of other nodes."
"The initial setup is one of the most user-friendly B2B user solutions. It's good, it's easy. Deployment usually takes less than one day. You only need one person for deployment and maintenance."
"It's easy to backup data, manage. A"
"Catalyst backup is used to back up Oracle databases, and provides very good throughput during backups."
"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."
"We wanted to restore the files we backed up, and on three occasions we were not able to, and this got us in a lot of trouble, so I don't think I will take this risk again. Use something else."
"Reporting needs to be worked on."
"It needs to be more versatile to run our tests smoothly."
"I would like to see an emphasis placed on making data deduplication and compression more powerful."
"The product's price could be better."
"It is difficult to solve issues with this solution remotely. I prefer to use the knowledge base platforms. The response time could improve."
"An improvement would be an improved deduplication algorithm."
"We need more time to discover the cons of the product."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Price-wise, it comes with a high price tag when compared to other products."
"The price puts me off. It's definitely on the high side."
"The product's pricing is medium."
"I would rate it around two or three because, compared to others, it tends to be higher priced."
"I think the product is competitive in terms of pricing. Other products like the one from Dell are costlier compared to the tool."
"We have got a perpetual license, and we have access to all the features. If you are using cloud banks, you can store the internal data in HPE Cloud if needed. You can offload the data to the HPE Cloud. It is a licensed product. We have got around 10 TB of cloud bank storage with a one-time payment. We specifically took 10 TB for very critical offsite backups. We can also increase it in blocks if needed."
"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 product is not expensive. It is available at a good price."
