Megha Meshram - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"From a centralized system, I can manage the interface, the backup policies, and the status of the database."
"Currently, VTLs can only be created on individual service sets and cannot be used to share the resources of other nodes."
"The valuable feature is the ability to work with the Veeam software to reduce the backup windows."
"The most valuable feature of HPE StoreOnce is the virtual drive."
"The product's most valuable feature is stability."
"The speed and deduplication ratio are two of the most valuable features of the solution."
"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 works well, it is stable."
"The solution can be used for all Office 365 applications."
"The solution is very easy to use and it offers great support."
"The dashboard is useful for managing data backups."
"You can store backups for a while."
"The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that it is easy to use and integrate with whichever operating systems you use, providing you with a complete view, especially when you plan to migrate to some other operating system."
"The most valuable feature is the portability of large archived data. You're able to put things on large on-prem, low-cost storage and then augment that with even lower cost storage in the cloud."
"The deduplication engine. Right now, we're at about 10.5 to 11 times deduplication of our backup data."
"Most importantly is having that island into that datacenter, and being able to address things in the same console. Thus, it is irrelevant where it's stored."
 

Cons

"I would like to see better integration with Veeam software."
"Cloud integration needs to be simplified."
"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."
"The dashboard needs more improvement."
"HPE StoreOnce could improve the capacity support."
"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."
"The user interface of HPE StoreOnce is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"While StoreOnce has many features, it needs to focus on integrating with third-party backup software solutions."
"The initial setup phase of the tool was difficult."
"What could be helpful is different user base authentication so then maybe we could allow different customers to point to a single appliance and they only see the backups and things that they have."
"The solution needs faster indexing."
"I would like to see more web support."
"More capacity with the basic model of the AltaVault would probably help out."
"It's a good product, but it's becoming outdated and moving to their other primary architecture."
"There are some bits it could do better. With tighter integration maybe with Veeam, or something like that, it'd be really good."
"It would be nice if the solution was more complete. Many customers are looking for a single solution or silo that they can manage everything from. It would be nice, instead of having different products, if everything a client needed was in one solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing costs is capacity-based and come bundled with support."
"To be honest, we were quite happy with the price, but we always want things cheaper than they are. I think for what we got, we felt that the price was quite reasonable comparing it to other products that provide that same level of functionality."
"The licensing schemes could improve in HPE StoreOnce and the price is high. They should reduce the price."
"The price of the product is reasonable."
"HPE StoreOnce is cheaper compared to other solutions in the market."
"The solution's cost is above average."
"The cost of HPE StoreOnce is very expensive."
"The product is not expensive. It is available at a good price."
"In one use case, and we have several, to run for a particular customer, the price is about $375,000 a year."
"The price is a bit high."
"It is a rather expensive program."
"The pricing is not too bad, but could be a little better."
"There is a need to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the solution, which comes to around 3,000 USD."
"It's quite cost-effective."
"You could compare it to a Dell EMC or ECS, and I think it's probably a little less costly than that. Within the marketplace, it's a medium cost."
