Very cost-effective and well organized with good compression

It could improve its interface or offer a specific screen for the manager of the company. A managerial user who wants more information beyond the operational technician should be able to access it. It could include greater transparency regarding the volume of data trafficked on the network, as well as the expectation of deduplication. A more practical strategy could come with a backup policy model as a suggestion for both large and small companies. A simple suggestion is to visually implement the backup time as far as your physical media.

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.

Cons

"Many features have been converted to commercial licensing, which restricts their availability."

"It could improve its interface or offer a specific screen for the manager of the company."

"Easier setup and configuration, perhaps including a GUI, would be an improvement."

"The initial setup could be a bit easier."

"A more user-friendly interface (GUI) can be developed."

"Bacula needs a graphical user interface because, for administrators, the command-line interface is okay, but for the average user it is not very easy."

"We would like to see an improvement in the functionality of the GUI."

"We are looking for a unique interface that can rule both enterprise and open source editions. Such a thing does not yet exist."

"We're outsourced with a partner who recalls a larger amount of problems with the stability of the product."

"The cost is at the forefront of everyone's mind."

"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."

"Agnostic backups."

"The solution must provide backup options for smaller capacities."

"The web interface, ease of use, and GUI all need to be improved."

"The user interface of HPE StoreOnce should be more user-friendly. Additionally, the configuration and troubleshooting could be better."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This is an open-source solution."

"We have a perpetual license."

"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."

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

"The product's pricing is medium."

"The cost of HPE StoreOnce is very expensive."

"With the same capacity of Data Domain and ExaGrid, which is 80 terabytes, HPE is the cheapest one."

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

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

"There are costs for additional storage and space."
