Pros

"Both the pricing and the performance are excellent."
"The most valuable features of ExaGrid EX are the Veeam features and Landing Zone."
"The important feature is compression and duplication. It has a good compression ratio and is very stable."
"If you have a large enough storage capacity then you can take an ample amount of data."
"The product’s data retention is very good."
"The initial setup process is simple."
"Recovery is important."
"The solution's licensing policy is more practical and not confusing."

"I think StoreOnce's deduplication technology is crucial for cost efficiency and faster recovery, especially for backup and data protection purposes."
 

Cons

"I would like to see free disk space."
"The solution’s web access should be improved."
"HPE StoreOnce needs to provide a SaaS solution by offering high-density disks."
"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."
"While the solution does everything expected, it would be beneficial if AI could be integrated for optimization and monitoring."
"The cost is at the forefront of everyone's mind."
"Agnostic backups."
"The user interface of HPE StoreOnce is an area of concern where improvements are required."
