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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

"It allows us to back up all the servers and centrally manage them."

"The product's deployment process was straightforward."

"I would recommend it if there is a general case."

"The most valuable features are that it is able to restore quickly and that it is able to virtually restore on Hyper-V."

"It's simple to set up."

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

"The most valuable feature of StorageCraft ShadowProtect is the speed and the compression of the backups. The compressed backed-up files do not take up as much storage. Additionally, the incremental backups can be done in one minute and be backed up on a disc very fast."

More Arcserve UDP pros

"The most valuable features for us are the ease of use, the reliability, and the exceptional deduplication that we get across that data that we store on those devices."

"I like the tool’s deduplication feature. We get a ratio of 9:1 for deduplication. The product is also Linux based. Last year, our organization faced some virus attacks. However, the backup was safe because of the product being a Linux version. HPE StoreOnce is a secure product."

"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."

"The implementation is not that complex for someone who has experience."

"The speed and deduplication ratio are two of the most valuable features of the solution."

"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."

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

More HPE StoreOnce pros

Cons

"I think that the price could still be a bit cheaper and I do not like that they have been purchased by Arcserve."

"In the most recent version of premium plus the replication has been removed, and it should re-added to the solution."

"StorageCraft ShadowProtect can improve by making one console that can control backups of all desktops and servers in one place. Additionally, the recovery process of the backups is very slow and could improve. It's very slow when we went to recover a complete disc but to recover one file is very fast."

"The only problem with the solution is that when I change the drive capacity, it has to do a full backup. It's a problem when I have five servers to backup. When I only want to change the size of the drive, I have to do a full backup that can take one week."

"The tool doesn't provide cloud integration in India."

"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."

"The technical support of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."

"One of the biggest drawbacks of Arcserve UDP is that it does not have a single console, making it an area that needs to be considered for improvement."

More Arcserve UDP cons

"The solution should continue to refine its integration capabilities. I also see they are starting to use cloud integration as well, which is good, but they should do more to integrate with it."

"HPE StoreOnce needs to be made cheaper than products from Dell and Veeam."

"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."

"This product would be improved with the inclusion of more features to security or WORM."

"The product's support is an area with certain shortcomings requiring improvements. Support needs to be faster."

"We do not foresee the need to have an artificial intelligence app. It is not mature enough."

"The solution's technical support should be faster."

"The user interface of HPE StoreOnce is an area of concern where improvements are required."

More HPE StoreOnce cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is approximately $400 to purchase a virtual service outright."

"Its price seems reasonable. Its price is average as compared to the other products I've looked at. We have a three-year license right now. There are no other costs beyond the standard licensing fee."

"The solution is very expensive."

"We only have the maintenance of three standard UDP licenses. Each license is 50 Euro. There are some additional costs for the storage and software but it has nothing to do with the UDP."

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

"I feel that the product is fairly priced."

"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a four or five out of ten."

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

More Arcserve UDP pricing and cost advice

"The product is not expensive. It is available at a good price."

"I rate the product's pricing a seven out of ten."

"The solution is pretty expensive."

"Price-wise, it comes with a high price tag when compared to other products."

"HPE StoreOnce is cheaper compared to other solutions in the market."

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

"I would rate it around two or three because, compared to others, it tends to be higher priced."

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