Excellent performance, scalable, easy to install, and outstanding support
Both the pricing and the performance are excellent. I don't have any issues with this solution at all. In my use case, there is nothing I would change about it. They continue to do more with regards to usability, and then security around ransomware. That is what their recent improvements have been. They redid the code a little bit to make sure that it was more resistant towards crypto or cyberattacks, and ransomware.

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.
