"The solution is easy to use and has high performance."
"What I found valuable in Dell Avamar is the deduplication feature. I also like that the solution can be integrated with Data Domain."
"It is one of the best solutions for backing up Oracle and other servers."
"Centralization is Avamar's biggest advantage. It moves data to a central location from various geographical locations."
"The fast backup and recovery and the Full Backup features are valuable."
"The product is good for backups."
"The deduplication feature in this product is amazing."
"This is a user-friendly 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."

"The valuable feature is the ability to work with the Veeam software to reduce the backup windows."
"HPE StoreOnce has high performance."
"From a centralized system, I can manage the interface, the backup policies, and the status of the database."
"The solution is stable."
"The user interface still needs to have some level of improvement. It could be more user-friendly and intuitive."
"We'd like to see something that could also work with Unix servers and physical servers to have a unified solution that works with everything."
"Some customers need to back up to tape, but Avamar lacks support, so it costs a lot."
"What would make Dell Avamar better is if it can do faster backups because right now, PowerProtect Data Manager is better in this area with its new UI and a new way to implement backups. Customers nowadays also expect more up-to-date solutions, and this is another area for improvement in Dell Avamar. It's not as up-to-date, so I'm counting on PowerProtect Data Manager, but customers who have Dell Avamar don't want to switch because you don't have as many backup problems in Dell Avamar compared to other solutions. What I'd like to see in the next release of Dell Avamar is an updated UI and a different way to manage backups because currently, backup management is a bit heavy for customers using Dell Avamar."
"In my opinion, the user interface and the user friendliness could be improved. The specific thing I have in mind are the graphics, which are not quite user-friendly."
"The performance takes up a lot of resources, unfortunately."
"The initial setup is a bit complex and could be simpler."
"If there is a need to move the data from one backup solution to another, it might be difficult since there is no option for a straightforward migration."
"The user interface of HPE StoreOnce is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"One item I wanted to see is SSD drives as a cache, and that was, for a time, still lacking in StoreOnce, however, they have done it now. It's not available yet, however, it will be shortly."
"The setup phase is not so simple that an end user can plug and play to make it operational."
"We're outsourced with a partner who recalls a larger amount of problems with the stability of the product."
"It is difficult to solve issues with this solution remotely. I prefer to use the knowledge base platforms. The response time could improve."
"Some high-level cybersecurity features could be achieved with some entities, and their integration could be built into the store."
"The solution's technical support should be faster."
"I would like to see better integration with Veeam software."
