A tool that offers good performance, backup, and recovery
It is a scalable solution. Though the product is scalable, there are a few limitations when it comes to certain models of the product. I have to go for HPE StoreOnce 3660 to be able to use 80 TB. If I need only 50 TB, meaning I need only low capacity to store data, then I need to choose a product that offers TB space meant for mid-size purposes. There is no model that provides a very small amount of capacity to function when it comes to HPE StoreOnce. If I go to purchase the license, then I need to pay a high price.

Reliable, centralizes everything, and easily adjusts to future needs
We can easily expand the ability of the solution. It's great that we can have a backup for the server architecture. It works with various solutions, including VMware, SolarWinds, and all the OS you can imagine. The solution centralizes everything. I can do everything from one pane of glass. If we want to, we can work with tape and make libraries for offline backups. We can do off-site backups and work with cloud services as well. This is a solution you can rely on. You are sure when you have a backup. When you need to restore, it's always successful. There are no inconsistency issues. It easily adjusts to your future needs. If you want to, you can easily change your license. You don't need to change your backup solution. It's also easy to add features.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The valuable feature is the ability to work with the Veeam software to reduce the backup windows."
"HPE StoreOnce works well, it is stable."
"Technical support is quite good."
"The most valuable feature of HPE StoreOnce is the virtual drive."
"HPE StoreOnce is particularly useful in situations where organizations require a backup solution to store their data. Its deduplication feature is quite impressive, providing a deduplication ratio of around 25 to 26."
"Currently, VTLs can only be created on individual service sets and cannot be used to share the resources of other nodes."
"The solution's licensing policy is more practical and not confusing."
"If you have a large enough storage capacity then you can take an ample amount of data."
"This is a complete solution, everything is under one console."
"This is a product that has been on the market for a while and they have mastered the backup process, especially when backing up to tape, for most environments."
"They are among the top in the world for backup and recovery."
"Ease of installing, configuring, upgrading, and troubleshooting."
"I like the virtual server backup."
"Backup and recovery software with great stability, and can support large-scale environments."
"I like that it's enterprise-capable. It can handle multiple operating systems. It can handle multiple database types. It can handle a lot of different backup use cases. It's flexible."
"The solution is stable."
 

Cons

"It is difficult to solve issues with this solution remotely. I prefer to use the knowledge base platforms. The response time could improve."
"The product could be improved with better support for data protection."
"The GUI and its user-friendliness have some room for improvement."
"HPE StoreOnce Backup to Disk (BTD) is not a good backup solution for NAS devices. It does not have a dual controller, so if one controller fails, the entire system will go down."
"We would like to see some improvements in the Veeam Backup & Replication integration. It's good, but it has a lot of room to improve. In particular around the inability to easily move data between StoreOnce appliances."
"I would like to see an emphasis placed on making data deduplication and compression more powerful."
"The setup phase is not so simple that an end user can plug and play to make it operational."
"The user interface of HPE StoreOnce is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Endpoint backup capability is needed."
"Improvements can be made to the service by providing better and more competitive ratios on data backups. The functionality for backups is there with Veritas, but I would like to see them optimize and enhance this feature more."
"The deployment time is longer than it is with other products."
"We faced so many backup configuration issues. And from the Veritas side, they couldn't fix that issue. So we started from scratch, purchased everything, and then we configured everything. Therefore, the support could be better."
"In regards to protecting the physical servers with parameters, it's a long and difficult process."
"They need to work on the GUI. It has been the same for the last 10 years."
"The solution's technical support process should be improved."
"Licensing costs are quite high."
