Global deduplication, stable, and flexible licensing options

I give the solution ten out of ten. This solution offers one dashboard to manage the BC con, disaster recovery plan, DR solution, and backup as well as different licensing options, unlike other OEM products. We are the system integrators for our clients, so we design the solution as per the customer's requirements. We provide several solutions options to our clients such as Druva inSync, Druva Phoenix, and Arcserve UDP with the specifications and the client makes a decision based on their requirements. I would advise potential users to first be clear on whether they are going to use it as a backup solution for compliance purposes, just wanting to take the backups of files and servers, or for instant recovery. The IQ and RPO discussion with our customers usually takes 30 minutes. I recommend this solution.

Helps to consolidate D2D backups and has a good deduplication ratio

I was involved with the HPE team in the implementation of the tool which included steps like zone grade configuration, tape grade configuration, etc. The zoning part during implementation was very cumbersome. The tool’s implementation took around one week maximum to complete. One person from the HPE team helped us with the deployment. The tool’s deployment was a big process. We had to first deploy the hardware. Then we needed to connect it to the server. We had to also install HPE’s Data Protector. There were multiple things to be configured such as the configuration of Data Protector with D2D backup.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Arcserve UDP has a good configuration and user interface. It makes the job of an administrator easy."

"Global deduplication is the best feature of this solution."

"The recovery part of the product is very good."

"We are satisfied with Arcserve UDP. The most important feature that we use and why we choose this product is the RHA feature."

"The most valuable features are the replication to the cloud and the deduplication."

"Easy restoration and the solution works quickly."

"It is easy to configure."

"It's simple to set up."

More Arcserve UDP pros

"This is a user-friendly solution."

"The valuable feature is the ability to work with the Veeam software to reduce the backup windows."

"The hardware is strong and all the equipment has a good infrastructure. Personally, I think it's the best storage product in HPE for small to medium-sized businesses."

"Technical support is quite good."

"We also really benefit from the GUI capabilities."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is that the tool provides good value for somebody who needs an affordable and reliable storage solution."

"The initial setup is simple."

"HPE StoreOnce works well, it is stable."

Cons

"Licensing is an area that needs improvement."

"They could work on their marketing approach. I don't see many people leveraging it."

"Arcserve UDP is in the middle range of complexity. The interface can be developed a little bit more to be user-friendly."

"A lot of their new technologies are not very good."

"The solution's reporting could be improved and should provide customized reports."

"The solution can use a lot of bandwidth when the scheduling is not done, it should auto-schedule itself. For example, if there are 50 users connected in the network at 12 o'clock and the backup is not scheduled. At this time the network offices are going to have performance issues when it is doing a backup. Having a feature to auto-schedule a time when the network is not being used often would be beneficial."

"We are looking at scaling up to the cloud and using immutable copies on the cloud. Arcserve UDP 8.0 does have the immutable feature supporting AWS, but I'm looking for multi-cloud support. So, I'm waiting for Arcserve to release that in the next release."

"Based on my experience, whenever we need support, there are difficulties with communication when trying to resolve the issue."

More Arcserve UDP cons

"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."

"improvement? HPE StoreOnce has a limitation with respect to controllers. Other tools offer more than one controller. I feel that the high availability of the view controller should be redundant. The tool’s control and UI part should be improved and made more advanced. The feature that helps with the manual movement of tapes should also be improved."

"HPE StoreOnce could improve the capacity support."

"Agnostic backups."

"Hardware maintenance involves some downtime for backup destination storage which can be a problem for some."

"HPE should have more options so customers can choose from a wide range of products with small to big capacities."

"In terms of areas for improvement, I believe HPE StoreOnce could learn from competitors like Dell's Data Domain and ExtraHop in refining its architecture."

"Cloud integration needs to be simplified."

More HPE StoreOnce cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are annual subscription fees and there are licensing costs for three computers. It is an expensive solution."

"The solution is not very expensive, but it is not cheap."

"The pricing of the product can be considered to be reasonable enough for the Asian region."

"The retail fee is $1300 for a year for one server. Other than that, there is just the cost of your hardware."

"It is a bit pricey, considering the reliability problems. If the tool worked flawlessly, the price would be fair, even cheap."

"The solution is very expensive."

"The pricing is moderate."

"As an MSP partner, I believe that the prices are fair."

More Arcserve UDP pricing and cost advice

"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."

"The solution's cost is above average."

"The cost of HPE StoreOnce is very expensive."

"The licensing schemes could improve in HPE StoreOnce and the price is high. They should reduce the price."

"The price puts me off. It's definitely on the high side."

"The price of the product is reasonable."

"The licensing costs is capacity-based and come bundled with support."

"The product's pricing is medium."
